Japan - November 2012

[Giles]

Landed at Haneda.  Now waiting for bus to Shibuya….

Gotta ask (because it will bug me), why Haneda and not Narita? I thought Haneda was mainly domestic, and Asian flights.

[Giles]

There was only air mile availability into Haneda….That's the simple answer.....

[Megatron1505]

Fair enough.

G and P have a great time in Japan. Take lots of pics.

So, we arrived very early and went walkies.

The sort of surreal scene you see on a Tokyo street.  Goat in kennel, whilst serious film shoot takes place…

Want to vend a banana?

Then to Tokyo Hands - famous homeware department store.  These 2 guys are so wrong on so many levels…

Then we bumped into The Swiss Family Hatt…

I'm following this thread very closely! I love Japan. The best (strangest) thing I ever saw in a vending machine in Japan was a can of creamed corn. Would you like that hot or cold?

I'll be making my first trip to Japan next month, and will be on the lookout for (a) unusual vending machines, (b) fancy toilets, and women dressed as schoolgirls.

Also, go to Venus Fort on Odaiba Island in Tokyo bay, and marvel at the indoor recreation of neo-classical Europe.

Sounds like something perfectly Japanese - I'll make an effort to get there thanks!

Just leaving for Heathrow. See you tomorrow G&P.
Make sure there's an ice cold Sapporo beer waiting for me

Have fun Danny

Kiya - inbound on the bus…..

[Giles]

Normal service has been resumed….

Only thing procured all day - new laces….

[Friday]

keep it coming guys… enjoy ...

Update.  Paula left her camera (and phone) in a box at security at Heathrow.  That's a cunning way of getting out of taking photos….

[Megatron1505]

Doh! 

[Danny RnH]

I'm in Tokyo. I'm meeting G&P in the bar. I'm wearing my IH XHS-666.
You have to dress appropriately for moments like these.

Y'all should make a trip to Ajisen, best sake and sushi (and more) in Tokyo, in my opinion. Great area too. It's in the tangled warren of Tsukishima.
