The compulsory trip to Japan
I went for a short 6 day trip to Japan, with a tour group recently, of course found some time for self exploration... here are some photos taken with the iphone 3GS, which explains the quality, i need the iphone 4! Visited lots of places such as Hakone owakudani valley, Fuji-san, Odaiba, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Nakano, Ginza and of course Akiba!

saw fuji-san in the background from gotemba premium outlets, quite lucky as that day was raining and cloudy!

flowing stream in one of the samurai village we visited

Akiba! needless to explain..

View of the Tokyo bay frm Odaiba.. really i shd have a better camera...

Roppongi hills, being an architecture student, im quite crazy of roppongi, lots of nice architecture around..

The famous shibuya crossing!

Got some stuff from mandarake, shd have got more, but ran out of luggage space

Ikebukuro, always wanted to visit especially after dramas such as Ikebukuro west gate park, and durarara pictured ikebukuro as a dangerous place, but in fact it is very safe!

The obligatory loot shot, shd have got more, but couldnt cos i had to bring back lots of omiyage for my friends and family, and of course luggage space! not pictured is alter's yomako sensei whom i bought at the very last moment!









Shibuya Mandarake or Akiba Mandarake? I often go to Shibuya's:)
neither =X, nakano broadway's mandarake
Which one? :P
I there are a whole lot of Mandarakes in Nakano Broadway. :)
