Day 4This is it. Last day in the land of the rising sun.
Due the late nite out, we were for the most part of the day, feeling lethargic and almost everyone is on life support, relying on strong doses of coffee to get by. J got some was suffering from hangover but the rest of us were just tired.
As we wanna make sure Yuko really understands what we were teaching her, we decided to lunch in and we had some Jap KFC. I still prefer the SG version though. Val was rite, Jap KFC really cannot make it.
After work, J and I decided to try the mall nearest to office so that we can get some stuff back home, but the mall was seriously a big disappointment. Its a regular entertainment centre like Jurong Point with some regular shops, not a place for tourists.
And we spent about 6,000 yen (1,000 is roughly about SGD$12) on cab fare cuz the train map was impossible to read. There are different operators for different train lines and so all the 6 lines or so was criss crossing all over the place. Lucky can claim transport so I can save some trouble converting unused yen back to SGD anyway.
Tomorrow's flight back is via ANA, and my boss was like complaining that its a bloody nightmare to cramp on something small, with no flight entertainment for 7 hrs. Seriously, all these brokers are damn spoilt lor, but who am I to complain? For one, I have not yet travelled on a non SQ flight (except internal flights la, which doesn't count). Speaking of which, its quite amusing to see my boss singing karaoke on stage... hahah (think Rainbow will know wat I mean)
Btw, the KTV pubs in Tokyo are like those KTV pubs in Boat Quay, except that you have to go onto a small platform to sing, like a mini stage like that... The japs ans the angmoh all sioa one, think they are some superstars or something, but some really can sing, but others...tsk tsk... Well at least they provided some visual entertainment although they were my ear drums..
Took a few clips with my lousy hp, not very clear though but you can still make out the outlines, wil load them once I load them onto youtube. Ok gotta koon liaoz, there's a plane to catch...
p.s. The date/time stamp of the past few entries is not indicative since Tokyo is one hour ahead of Singapore, not that any of you care, but anyways =p
