Brief Update version 2

OK here's a try on updating blog post briefly, trying to cover the important events I've been through lately.

2010 March 23, day trip in Tokyo with Calvin, Kai CungShei Pien.


First stop, Harajuku (原宿), a place you must bring your female companion (specifically, before mid-age).

Last stop of the night, Odaiba (お台場). One of the great places to check out nightview of Tokyo.

The night was a close one as there's been trouble in the JR lines causing service disruptions on the main train network. Luckily I took the Tokyo Metro back which was trouble-free.

2010 March 24, crashing at Calvin's place for house warming party.


It's a great journey as I came from Saitama, pass-through Tokyo and finally landed myself at Chiba! From west to the east!

Glorious meals prepared by Calvin!

We had actually planned to goto Disneyland on the next day but due to bad weather, and waking up late, we'd to cancel the plan.

Later I went back to the previous hostel to catch up with Pei Ki who's alone there as most of the tenants have moved out.
This sakura tree greeted us when we first came to Japan last year, and now it's blooming again, welcoming the new batch of students.

2010 March 26, Hanami at Asukayama.


So-called hanami was forced to cancelled due to the unpredicted rain. The park needed some time before full bloom.

Another part of Meiji Jingu. Am amazed that there's such a large grass field close to the city! Indeed rare for Tokyo...
