Tokyo Spring Day 3 (Shibuya+Harajuku+Shinjuku)


There are cherry blossoms everywhere and even along the street right outside my brother's dorm.

Early morning, we went to Inokashira Park (井の頭恩賜公園) for a nature walk and eat the famous sweet-corn that my aunt has recommended. It is warm and especially tasty during cold weather, the exterior is coated with the japanese black sauce.

Strangely, I find this park a lot nicer than the Ueon park, but it also occurs to me that nature beauty is incomparable. God has given this land such a wonderful gift.

We journey along the tokoyites streets and enters many of local apparel stores of the younger generations. The designs resembles the fashion in Taiwan but here is the inspiration origins. Products of Japan are always known for its quality and the manufacturers have done well in keeping the status. We venture along the flea market and we had our lunch at popular sushi restaurant.

My brother brought us to the Yodobashi to shop (I find a resemblance to the Mustafa Shopping Centre >.<>

The Little Prince's Planet 612

We went to the Starbucks for coffee and my brother highlighted that in Japan, we should only see the items and not touch the display. There is a lot of ‘soft’ cultural knowledge that only when u will learn only after you have been residing here for a period of time. We went to a Books-Off before we took an Express Train back to the hotel. We are more careful in keep the schedule today as we did not want to miss the train again.
