11/11/09 - Sensoji Temple / Ameyoko / Shibuya


Woke up in horror... Its still drizzling.. OMG! No choice we had to change our initial plan, which is to go to Disneyland as it was drizzling.... Zzz...

Reached Sensoji at Asakusa area.... nothing much... juz take picture of the temple lor.... and it was raining... we had to get ourselves drenched up for the photos... cos an umbrella would cover the temple up... a lot of people only.... and it was 20C... felt too hot to wear a jacket.. though everyone is wearing... and den... i tink my t-shirt is too thick... dun feel water coming in to my body...







Den there's this place you can pay 100 yen and then pick up your fortune... den they will curse you... see how bad your fortune is... so you can buy a souvenior to protect yourself afterwards.. as me and tsianhwee realise.. cos.. both of us got extreme bad luck.. and we see their students buying lucky charms after supposedly being "cursed"....

their food street nothing much... some substandard mochi and also kids "kueh" we eat here.. selling at $2 - $3 a piece... -_-" .... or fancy for some red bean bun that costs $3 - $4 a piece where we can get at $0.50 here... =X












Visited Ameyayoko.... a food street... omg... doesnt seem like leh... went to a shop to buy japanese food products... OMG... all of their things can see cannot buy... its too expensive liao... their snacks start from like $8 per packet.... where we can usually buy from $4.... about 2 times from us... OMG... Lots of mochi etc....







Around 1pm le... i see this turkish meat stall and decided to eat one of their turkish meat roll... den we finally settled in for a ramen lunch.... ordinary ramen.. at 1000 yen ($17) overall i suppose... soup base slightly richer den those in singapore... den nothing more liao.... Bought a lot of snacks.. so we went back to the hotel to put our things... omg... and raining somemore...






Then we headed to Shibuya at night... OMG... so many people.... -_-" ... and its raining..... nice lighting to see everywhere.. and the horrible 5 way human cross junction... think 5,000 people cross this junction within 30 seconds... and there are so many people... they keep knocking onto your umbrella..


guess they are also not used to taking umbrella... knock you everywhere you go... -_-" ... Walked up all the way to their NHK studio.... kinda disappointing.... just see some posters of NHK's past..... get to see some of their "live" TV recording... but cant take pictures of it.... den some pictures to take...





At night, settled down at Denny's for dinner... OMG... this meal.. i quite hate it... though is i suggest de... tink its also about 1000 yen.... the rice i had was extremely salty.. the dessert was okay.... soso only... Walked around Shibuya.. den end day liao...











Oh ya ... the T-shaped Rockmelon which we saw at their supermarket... its 1,580 yen per fruit ($25 only)... quite cheap... consider that if you buy one japanese rockmelon in Singapore you would probably pay about $80 for the same fruit....
