  • 2nd time to Tokyo, 12/2008

    Last time to Tokyo was 11yrs ago......... exactly......... was 1997.....

    Want to see how different it is now. (and i found they got ski resort around )

    So 4 of us went to Tokyo during Christmas.

    Since bro got exam and cannot come, but we gotta go in pairs, so we invited Friend B to come along.

     
    Taking early JAL flight to Narita, then JR to Shinjuku. That's easy.


    Waiting for JP - Narita Express.
     

    To Shinjuku.

    Arrived Narita at 3:xx, 2hrs JR.... 5:xx. this is what 5pm looks like. and it was raining..........
     

    Took us awhile to find the hotel. But it is very close to the station. The Sunroute Plaza Hotel.

    After a short refreshment, we checked with the information counter and found a place for sukuyaki, Mr. Ho's favorite.  Let's go~!
     

    It is in the Takashimaya department store. 14/F. This department store is amazing, even got a Disney store, but the stock is not so cute.

     

    Sukiyaki~~ Beautiful japanese egg~~~
     

    Beautiful Japanese beef~~~~ A waitress cooked for us as usual.
     

     

    the beef is "ok"...... not so special..... but the ice cream is. this is Apple surbet.

    After eating was already 9:xx. Parents went back to hotel,  friend B and I had another walk before going back.

    Because is Christmas time, everywhere is decorated.
