Japan Through My Eyes

Once upon a time, 3 geeks decided that it's about time they had a vacation and so they purchased their air tickets (btw my air ticket was free cos I clocked in mileage..hee hee) and flew to the Land of the rising sun...JAPAN! So here we are, the 3 geeks at the boarding area.. all set for our vacation.

Geeky me playing with 'my baby' at the new K.L airport during our transit. Yesssss people... I do wear specs okie!!

We reached Narita and met up with Bearbear who had arrived about an hour or so before us. There, we got acquainted with Bearbear's sister, Laura - an outgoing and hilarious babe! Laura drove us back to where our home for the next 8 days would be and we got changed, had a nice breakfast.

(Today's breakfast consists of light & buttery Jap croissants, fried rice, siew mai, sausages, har kau, and baked beans..mmmm...variety is always welcome!)

As it was still early, we decided to go to Tokyo after lunch to do some light exploration.Brilliant!! I thought to myself. Tokyo on my arrival sounds lovely already.... begining to love my trip! From where we stayed - Chiba, we walked to the nearest train station which was Tsuga and the overhead tracks that you see are actually monorail tracks. I like this shot I took! The guys agree it was nice too! (Of cos it was nice!! The photographer was a natural!! hahaha... Per bearbear's quote: 'Self praise is no praise')

Train arrived and as you can see from the pic below, we have freshened up and are all geared for Tokyo!! (Or at least I was.. haha)

Something to note in the train that tells you that you are in Japan:

Dinosaur heads as human heads for advertisements. Sweet.

1st stop: Harajuku!

Japanese say: "We Love Our Town Harajuku!"

I say: "I love your town Harajuku too!!" Lol..

The malls are so pretty....

Here's a pic of Laura & myself.... the 2 lovely babes (haha..shameless) for the next 8 days!! hahaha..

Don't you think Laura is very similar looking to bearbear? I feel they are like replicas of each other only one in a female form and the other male. =)

Laura's friend brought us to this place for lunch and they were supposed to be quite good in their noodles / ramen....Looks interesting enough... hopefully so is the food!!

As you can see from the pic below, inside the eatery is a lil cramp and while waiting for our seats... Pouyan (I hope I spelt his name right) and I took a picture together. Pouyan - Iranian who grew up in America is one heck of a cool dude! He never fail to make me or anyone of us laugh real hard... I think his humour is a rarity thesedays!
