Travel Log: Tokyo Sakura Day 1
Plane ride was uneventful, so don’t expect any reports on that.
Immigrations was a pain to clear. It took me more than an hour to clear it and collect my luggage. After that it was smooth sailing, from buying train tickets to Tokyo and finding my way to the awesome apartment that I’m staying in.
I’m staying in Kodenmacho, a station near Akihabara on the Hibiya line. In this apartment block called Stylim.
It’s an award winning apartment and everything inside just screams “DESIGNER~!!!”
They put so much attention into the equipment and fittings. The toilet seats that are installed have heater function.
The kitchen space is small but functional and useful for just one or two person staying there.
The entrance area’s light is activated by a motion sensor and the pendant lamps in the apartment are made to slide around so that you can achieve different lighting effects.
The toilet heater has an announcement function when you change the temperature.
And i stole this photo from zer0. LOL…
Isn’t it freaking awesome???
So after being super awed by the apartment, zemotion and I set out for Harajuku. I bought a whole bunch of Swimmer stuff which came up to about 8000yen. D:
Yes I know that’s alot of bento boxes, but they’re not all for myself.
This was yesterday’s lunch.
Beef stew omelette rice from Jonathan’s.
I forgot to add that there was a h00j mob in Harajuku near the entrance of Takeshita dori. I think alot of people were stampede-ed to death yesterday.
We then went to Shinjuku and I went crazy.
I bought all these.
Moitie blouse and choker, Excentrique underbust corset~!
I almost bought everything that I wanted to on the first day.
But I still can’t find the polaroid back for my Holga.
Ideas anyone?
