Tokyo Day 1 - Part II: Shinjuku

One of the malls in Shibuya.

COuldnt decide if it was cool or ugly.After Shibuya, we walked around Omotesando to look for blue label. Unfortunately the things in his burberry season isn that great and so i didnt get any bags for myself nor jasmine. While strolling, we saw this gal sitting outside this store while waiting for her mum (inside a children's clothes store sale). couldnt resist taking her pix coz she looked so stylo milo the way she looked back at you:)

Took train to shinjuku and headed to mark City for lunch. The junction was amazing coz it was like hundreds of people crossing the junction at the same time. Amazing:) The funniest thing i saw was the smoking booth. I mean there is a section dedicated just for smokers and there was even a sign that teaches you how to how you shld hold a cigarette?! Still everyone seem to abide by the "rules" and hang ard just puffing away:)There wasnt much i wanted to get from shinjuku or rather i was just pure tired and went off to Hanazono Shrine for a quick peek.

Went over to Takashimaya Square too hoping to gte some anime stuff but in vain. Still it was a HUGE mall of 12 stories (i think or was it 14). I walked over to Kinokuniya which was 7 storey building of books all by itself. Just mind boogling. Not to mention a whole floor dedicated to just Manga, jap comic books! Its a haven if i can read advance jap! Went to KabuyiCho too which is a red light district. I saw a shop that sold just fugu (puffer fish) and the fishes look so silly and cute. There were rows of shops with pic of gals for u to book and there were guys too! Was taking pix of this naked boobs gal and i accidentally triggered the motion sensor at the door. The minute the guy within the adult store responded, I ran for my life!

After seeing all the red lights and checking out the pretty gals in the red light district and their prices, Got too tired and decide to grab a cab back. Not to mention a dinner appointment at Tofuro at Hiro was waiting.Got back took a quick shower and headed out again. Had made a reservation from Singapore via the online booking and it works! Luckily i asked for private room coz there was no sharin of smoke with the smokers and that is impt to me. FRESH air. The food was very good and i was stuf! (pictures later. too tired to load now) I was thanking Fenton silently for his fantastic recommendation for the place. The service was excellent and though their english was limited, they really tried and luckily the menu is in english woith losta tempting pixs:)

All in all , a place worth visiting and wasnt realy that expensive too!Went back hyatt and had icecream dessert which cost me $40 bucks! Its just choc cake with vanilla icre cream! Talk abt expensive lifestye to life in japan!Okie... too tired. Need to sleep and rest for tomorrow! Another long tiring day. My whole back and shoulder is rock hard and aching like hell. I need my hot bath from a long hard day of walking!
