Tokyo

Had an awesome trip -

Day 1

Had a really rough start - flight cancelled, stuck in airport for almost 5 hours - lined up on the slowest queue possible at the immigration in JP - Tai Hau left his rucksack on the train that has ALL his most expensive items he brought onto the trip including all spending money, a canon 60D with new lens he just bought, ipad 3, Rayban Sunnies etc - Cab driver took the "LONG" way to our hotel and turns out he brought us to the wrong hotel...

Day 2

First thing first - TH was so lucky that no one took his bag nor anything inside and the conductor of the train kept his bag in one of the station. So setting off at 5:45 am and on the way to get his precious back - I have to say, i'll wake up anytime as long as he gets it back, otherwise I'm taking all the shit!! and we would probably have travel back to HK right away...lucky me *phew*

After picking up our day finally starts - since we're around in Ueno park already, we switch our itinerary and went to a lot of museums (can't remember their names, all of them are so similar - National museum of Tokyo, National Museum of Western Arts, Tokyo...my brain is the size of a raisin, so forget about the names)

The weather was very pleasant, not sunny all day long but it's perfect for sightseeing.

To be honest, i was kinda nervous because of all the political tension going on between JP & CN, i wonder if i'm gonna get beaten if anyone finds out that i'm Chinese, but who i'm kidding? it's japan...highly civilized country, people are sooo polite and that's something you'll NEVER EVER see in HK.

One instance during the trip at night where we were heading back to the hotel from a drink downtown, we saw an organization handing out food to the homeless at the plaza at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Complex. What impresses me is that they're all neatly lined up (literally straight line) and wait for their turn to get that small bowl of rice with maybe a bit of japanese condiments. Even the underprivileged knows the manners of simply not pushing, line up and wait for your turn. In HK, forget about it...you're lucky that you're not pushed off the bus/train during peak hour..

Day 3

TBC - have to be back to work now.
