DAY 3 TOYKO HARUJUKA, MEIJING-SHRINE, ROPPONGI, SHINJUKA

JAPAN | Thursday, 5 November 2009 | Views [506]

WOKE UP THIS MORNING AT 4AM GETTING READY TO HEAD TO THE TSUJKI FISH MARKET, BUT AS I WAS DOING MY LAST MINUTE NAVIGATION SKILLS I FOUND IT WAS CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS, SO BACK INTO BED I WENT, I COULD NOT FALL ASLEEP AS I STILL IN CANADA TIME ZONE! AFTER A COUPLE HOURS OF PLAYING ON THE COMPUTER I FINALLY WENT BACK TO BED.

WHEN I DID WAKE UP WE HEADED BACK TO THE NISHI-KAWGUSHI RAIL SYSTEM AND BOARDED TOWARDS HARUJUKU TO SEE CRAZY DRESSED JAPANESSE TEENS AND TO SEE THE MEIJI-SHRINE. THE SHRINE WAS COOL BUT YOU WHERE NOT ALOUD TO TAKE ANY PICTUES INSIDE IT WAS FILLED FULL OF NATURE .

ON THE STREET BESIDE HARUKA IS A STREET CALLED TAKSHITA (SOUNDED TO ME LIKE TAKE A SHIT A) LOL. THEY HAD THIS AWSOME CREPE PLACE THAT PUT CHEESE-CAKES OR GELATOS INSIDE THE CREPE FOR YOU SOOO DELICOUS, BUT AGAIN HAD A FUNNY NAME CALLED "SWEET BOX" !!! THERE WAS ALOT OF WEIRD TRINKET SHOPS EVEN A PLACE CALLED 'CONDMOMANIA' WHERE YOU COULD BUY EXOTIC CONDOMS ( I WILL POST A PIC FOR YOU UNDERSTAND!) AND TONS OF PET STORES WITH COOL CLOTHING ALL FOR SMALL DOGS ( EVERY DOG I HAVE SAW IS PERFECTLY GROMMED AND IS DRESSED UP) THE WEB SITE WHICH I WILL FOR SURE BUY SOME THING WHEN I GET HOME IS WWW.CREATIVEYOKO.CO.JP PET PARADISE

AFTER WE BOARDED TO GO TO JINGU TO GO TO A TRADITIONAL ONSEN THAT WAS RECOMMED BY LONELY PLANET WE LATER FOUND OUT AFTER RIDING THE RAIL AND SEARCHING THE PLACE OUT THAT IT WAS CLOSED AND HAS NOT BEEN THERE FOR 2 YEARS TO BAD WE HAD A OLD BOOK :(

AFTER AS IT WAS GETTING DARK (IT GOT DARK AROUND 6PM) WE HEADED BACK ON THE RAIL WHERE IT WAS VERY PACKED SHOULDER TO SHOULDER DURING THE DAY THE RAIL IS EMPTY AND YOU CAN SIT DOWN DURING THE EVENING IT IS FULLY PACKED AND YOU HAVE TO STAND, THE FUNNY THING ABOUT THE RAIL IS THAT ALL THE JAP MEN ARE DRESSED IN BUSINESS SUITS LOOKING VERY PROFFESIONAL BUT ARE ALL READY KID COMICS (THEY SURE LOVE THERE CARTOONS HERE!!

ONCE ON THE RAIL WE WENT TO ROPPONGI WHERE THE NIGHTLIFE IS SUPPOSE TO BE CRAZY WE GOT THERE AND SAW SOME BRIGHT LIGHTS BUT DIDNT STICK AROUND , AGAIN BACK TO THE RAIL (WE SPEND ALOT OF TIME ON THERE) WE WENT TO SHINJUKA TO SEE THE TIME SQUARE OF TOYKO IT AGAIN WAS VERY BUSY AND LOTS OF BRIGHT LIGHTS !!

WE WHERE NOW TIRED AND IT WAS 9:00 TOYKO TIME WE DECIDED TO HEAD BACK TO JGH HOSTEL AND GET SOME REST,

AGAIN GOOD NIGHT TOYKO
