Tokyo Part 2

 

 

 

JR bas yang dinaiki on the way to Tokyo

 

JR stands for Japan Railway. Yes, walaupun railway, dia ada jugak perkhidmatan bas. BTW kat Jepun walaupun JR ni macam KTM kat Malaysia, they did not monopolised the market. Ada banyak line keretapi private yang beroperasi around Japan at a competitive price. So, people can choose the service that they want.

 

At Shinjuku Station, Tokyo, 6.00 am local time

After arriving, we went to the mosque for our morning bath and a bit more sleep. Then we had some breakfast….Taiyaki….macam-2 perisa ada!

 

Taiyaki (Tai=fish, yaki=fried), nama aje ikan sebenarnya tepung berbentuk ikan, no ikan in it.

 

 

I chose the taiyaki with ‘kacang merah’ inside it. Ok la, rasa macam apa ye? Macam kuih kat Malaysia yang bulat and ada inti kacang dalam tu….bukan pau….i don’t know the name, tapi lebih kurang la. Then we had a stroll around city centre and came across one of the market in Tokyo….

 

Magic foods....tak jatuh beb....this is unique in Japan, most of the restaurants have this on display. Kalau kat hospital cafe siap ada tulis how much is the calories in them.

 

The market....

 

 

Tangan 'Tako' (sotong) - famous food in Osaka, and most probably it came from Osaka

 

 

Satu lagi yang unik - one of the lady dress in an anime character

 

 

There were a lot of this ‘anime’ characters around, offering brochures for their shops. Most are young girls…ooppps, most are  dvd, toy and comic shops. I don’t know why but the people here really like comics and toys, even amongst adults. They even que-up to buy certain toy characters and in the train you will always see them reading comic books.

 

One of the electrical shops - it should read 'anu den' - heheheh

I think I will continue uploading more pictures later – Tokyo part 3 – definitely much more ‘happening’ than osaka-sayama…;-)
