One Night in Tokyo: Day 4

Shit la. Today I left office then saw the stoopid 67 coming so ran for the bus. Then so tired from the sprint (Hey, I played soccer on Saturday and my legs are still hurting k??) but managed to catch the bus. On the bus halfway to the interchange, then I realised, I left my handphone in the office!!! Wah Kaoz. Then plus I think I did not leave it on my desk and plus I don't trust office people (my handphone got precious, highly coveted numbers like Fiona's, Felicia's and Joanne's see??) so lan lan go back to office take my handphone. Waste my bloody time... -_-"

Anyway...

Day 4
We were supposed to go to Shibuya and Shinjuku today. Basically these 2 districts are the busiest, biggest shopping and recreational areas in Tokyo. So we woke up, dressed up and went to 7-eleven for breakfast as usual (sadly) and then took a train to Shibuya:


According to the train-map, Shibuya is 30 mins away (arrggghhh...) . Surprisingly, although it's a Sunday Morning, the train was not very crowded. We concluded it must be like Singapore - everyone stay in and sleep/slack on Sunday just before another work week. So anyway it was pretty boring on the train and Rich caught sight of this ad on the train:


He said the girl very chio. I told him the face half covered leh, scarcely the other eye like Sadako how? He said No No, must be damn chio, go back S'pore MUST find out her name. Potential Stalker.
And when we finally arrived at Shibuya, OMFG. It is a Sunday alright. And its F***ing crowded:

In fact its so crazy that their traffic junction is such that when the 'green man' comes on, traffic from all directions stop and the human tide just flushes out in all directions. (their crossing is not just horizontal and vertically as in S'pore, but diagonally as well. Kaoz.) Then me and Rich just stand there stun tio, watch the human wave coming in from all over us. Like stand there also can get lost like that. So in the end we just floated around with the tide. Its amazing we didn't get lost despite not tying ourselves together. (I'm not into bondage though. Dunno whether Rich is. O_o)
So basically we just wandered around till late afternoon. The area is huge with alotta streets like this:


But unfortunately, poor NSFs like us cannot afford the clothes there. The clothes are like S$40 a piece and they call it 'On Sale'!! Wah Kaoz. Then like that our Pasar Malam is dirt cheap la.
So we went to Shinjuku (which is only 2 train stops away) around evening. And basically its like Shibuya. Big, bright and Flooded with people:


But the main draw there is the (Read slowly) Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office. Its basically a Government office that allows people to go up to the 45th storey to get a beautiful 360 degrees view of Tokyo for free!! ok la, we're cheapskates la. But basket, we had such a hard time finding the entrance to the place. I almost killed Rich when we thought the place closed for the night liao. Thought he never do his research properly (Yet again. That blur cock. Heh.), misread the opening hours. But anyway we Tai Ko-ly managed to find it, and caught some beautiful pictures of Night-time Tokyo:




Very worth the bloody cold winds to reach this place.
And that's when we realised we have to kana the bloody cold winds again to go back. Shit.
