Around Ginza

I am not really into the Kitties...but thought I took it for the Hello Kitty fans out there. There is a Sanrio land, contemplating if I should go there. I heard you even get food the shape of the Kitty face.

There is a Kitty bus and if you look closely, you can see a Hello Kitty at the Window.

There is a underground art exhibition which was really huge. Japan has alot of underground shopping. And you get so lost walking around.
Ermm....the flowers look nice.
Lipton cafe. I bet they sell the full range of Lipton stuff

The durian cost about $65. Say goodbye to one of the most delicious fruits around.

Ooooo.....even when it is not in season, you still see OISHI strawberries.

The whole range of fruits which is really expensive in Japan.

This bread shop is suppose to be pretty famous. It was very crowded, but being the greedy pig; I manage to get my hands on some of it (even thought I just had lunch). YUMMY.


Koban - Police post. Pretty good looking one. No choice I guess, it is at Ginza afterall.




The 2 pictures below is a Kindergarden at Ginza. Love the building and the leaves...

Tsukiji and GInza

We decided to go try some very fresh seafood at Tsukiji Fish market. The selling time is about 6am, which also means we cannot make it in time. The place is pretty interesting with very fresh and decent priced seafood. I had a mix seafood meal which cost about $11. We saw many interesting sights like huge fish head, crabs etc.

We took a short walk to Ginza; a place where all the branded goods are. The main streets are closed and people can walk freely. Stores usually do not just have a shop; the retailing outlet usually spans a few levels. I heard there is a huge Sony and a departmental store, but I did not manage to visit as we did not have a long time at Ginza.





There is a very interesting toy store. They were selling a toy which replicates the sound and feeling you get from bursting a bubble wrap. Only in Japan can you get such a product. There was a gadget you wear on a wrist and you can pretend you are playing the air guitar. A few other interesting toys which is worth a look.


We were all looking for winter wear and thus ended up at Zara. Prices were pretty decent and there were more choices I think.
