Tokyo so far

| | Comments (5)

Its ok. It isn't that confusing after all... (I've not been to Shinjuku yet, which is supposedly the most confusing) I find Osaka station even more confusing than Tokyo stn. 

We rented a bicycle for 200yen today. Cost saving and also the fact that we sorta wanna avoid being in a morning train. So as for today, we cycled from akihabara - ueno - asakusa - ryogoku - tokyo stn - hibiya park and back to akihabara. A journey of more than 25km ( i measured in Google earth )







The buildings here are amazing. And the lights are so bright!  (kenny, start sketching these)

We're tourists on budget ... this is our accomodation




I'm critically obsessed with the trains here... Melodious and noisy because there are so many trains and so frequent, it repeats itself a lot of times... so much so the melodies and announcements echoes in my mind before i fall asleep... but the trains here are so convenient!!

I got myself a souvenir. A keychain which looks like the signboard of a train station. It looks something like this.


Its the departure chime of Tokyo stn for Yamanote Line. There are many different chimes for other stations. lol...
