Day 4 in Tokyo

Had canned oden that we bought at Akihabara the previous day for breakfast. Although the can was pretty small, there were lots of ingredients in it. Enough for both Fulin and I to share. Taste wise, it was a little salty but I guess that's how normal oden tastes like??

The itinerary for today was pretty simple. Go to Shin-Ookubo to do some sight-seeing and then meet up with Yasuko later in the day. Shin-Ookubo was quite interesting in the sense that there were many different kinds of shops there. For example, there was this computer place that's called "Zi Jing Cheng", otherwise known as "The Forbidden Palace".

The restaurant that's called "Malaysia Restoran Mahathir" that serves...erm...Malaysian food. I like how they just anyhow use Mahathir's name for the restaurant. Then again, probably Mahathir owns this restaurant.

"Muanthai II", a massage palour...I guess?

Obviously a Korean restaurant.

"Great India" curry house.

Taiwan steamboat restaurant.

Shopped at this place called "Lovely Land" where the sales assistants greeted us in Korean, instead of Japanese. No wonder this place is nicknamed "Korean Town". The sales assistants were really nice and pretty. =D Clothes there were fairly cheap and they have like limited stock for each dress so it's good to know that not many people will own the same dress as you.

After a little more walking at Shin-Ookubo, we returned to our hotel. Wanted to do laundry before I left for Hiroshima so I asked the lobby guy for the nearest laundromat. "Oedo Hotel" was his answer so armed with my massive pile of laundry, I left for that place...but I did not manage to find it. I even went to ask the traffic police if he knew where it was but he too had no idea. Walked around aimlessly and all of a sudden, I caught sight of the words "Coin Laundry". Looking up at the signboard, the place was called "Oedo HEIGHTS" and not "Oedo HOTEL"...wtf. Stupid guy. I wonder how many tourists didnt manage to wash their clothes because of him. Bah.

Ate the Cheese Curry cup noodles for lunch and it was omfg delicious. It was a pity that the water wasn't hot enough to melt the cheese properly but still...it was good.

Helped Fulin move her luggages over to Yasuko's house as she was going to stay with Yasuko for a few days before her departure to Nagoya. Luckily the train was pretty empty as we had lots of luggages. Yasuko taught us how to make the "dango" hairstyle at her house. It looks easy but in reality, it's freaking difficult to do it.

Yasuko and me.

Next, the three of us went to Roppongi! Roppongi did not seem like part of Japan to me. There were so many blacks and white men there. Hello, it's more like America can!

Went into this club called Gaspanic...to erm...use the toilet. Decided against staying in the club because there was just too much cigarette smoke in there for comfort.
