Day 4 in Japan

Places went today

1) Asakusa. There is a matsuri (festival) over the weekends which was super interesting. Men and women and even children carry portable shrines around the area. Reminds me of the thaipusam festival in singapore. Went to the temple and bought some lucky amulets. The nakamise was also very happening.

2) Shibuya. Wanted to go to the 100 yen building, but unfortunately realised that the building is closed after looking for it for a long time. Its not easy moving around the area. Think I will go back there again when starfruit and cupaccino goes to Disneyland. I want to go to the 109 building and the recofan CD shop.

3) Harajuku. The takeshita dori is like bugis, with lots of different shops selling apparels. Bought a t-shirt from there. Liked this place very much.

4) Shinjuku. Went with starfruit. Just walked around the area. Intended to go and have a look at the kabuki-cho, but the soles of my feet are hurting badly, so cannot go until that far. Zannen desu ne!...
