tokyo day 3!

after the snow, mr and mrs sunshine greeted us today! the sky is blue and cloudless and the light is pure and clear! great! its time to put on my new shades and cap! everytime i go tokyo, i will go to shibuya and buy a pair of 1000yen sunglasses! they are really cool and cheap! oh yes, this is the jacket that i bought. i walked the whole of parco1 in shibuya trying on all the khaki hooded long jackets by the different brands, finally settled on this one from osmosis. its funny that i couldnt find something like this in hk, but in tokyo, everywhere i look, every brand has their own version of this item. Click on OSMOSIS website if you would like to take a look!
i have always like lowrys farm, this time i discovered that now they have a sub brand - apart by lowrys. when we were there, they were shooting a model outside the shop. Check out APART BY LOWRYS website for some japanese styling!
love this pink elephant! today is all about shopping, waiting for each other, walking, stopping to take photographs and buying hot lemon drink from vending machines.... cold...
whle waiting for kym in the shop, i walked around and sniffed a gardenia while trying to take a photo of myself.
i like this photo, if not for the ice that was frozen on the chair, i would've climbed and sat up there. oh i could do this all day, walking around taking photos.
moving on! oh sometimes i wish i have a longer arm to hold the camera to shoot myself. fantastic 4 arm would be great! someone should invent something. hee... but somehow i like how the photo turns out to be.
love seeing murals and graffiti on the walls! it just gives you an instant dose of inspiration!
kym - a cross between the dog and the man in the poster.
love what they did on the wall of this shop. oh.. everything in japan is so aesthetically pleasing. they really do take the effort.
this is the shop, it sells little vintage knick knacks from europe. the nihonjins love anything european.
hungry?!
this is one of my favourite photos this trip. i love the composition, the retro looking bench at the train station, and kym sitting under the huge nonno poster, i just wish he has more shopping bags with him. that would be cool! haha
happy, satisfied, sleeping again with the lazy late afternoon back light shining on us. here we are on our way to narita airport.
this trip, i realised kym can sleep anywhere in any positions. he slept while we stood in the queue for the sushi, he later told me that he even dreamt then. he also slept sitting after he finished his curry rice while i am still eating mine. this is the actual photo i took when his eyes are about to close (if not for his little pinky). hahahah.
yeah!! one last happy thing, i stayed on my budget! omedeto (congrats) to myself. ok now time to work hard again! work hard play hard - kyurii motto for 2008!
