Well this must be the most quiet Hotel I have ever stayed in...you cannot hear any noise accept for an occasional crow that flies past.Other than that.....nothing...
We are right next to a subway station which makes it just so easy to get anywhere as the transport system is totally unbelievable to use.
The man just seems to know where to go bless him so we have really not been lost yet.
We went to what can be called a Myers Food Hall yesterday and it was food glorious food x 1 billion!
I was in heaven..what to pick when everything looks fantastic?
We went with some cream puffs that were then packed in a box including ice packets for travelling comfort....yes...ice packs for an item that cost $3....
then we also got some pork dumplings and the man got some exotic veges in tempura...then we went to a little corner used for eating were everyone stands around ( quietly ) and eats in silence and then throws all the bits in the bins directly under the stand...no mess....look after yourself and dont make a mess!!!!
We went to the most well know street crossing in Tokyo and sat and had a Starbucks coffee ( to combat my headache ) and watched to parade in front of us in the big glass windows. Everybody is dressed beautifully, everybody has an umbrella..everybody is quiet.................................it has been raining and it is cold...but thats fine...just right for travelling.
We went to a market last night and walked around and were handed free food to try at the Railway station in one of the shops.......Believe me you can eat off the floor here....it makes me ashamed of our public spaces...we are a filthy lot.
I cannot have a bad word of complaint about anything at the moment..
If you are looking for a bargain though..there are none...things are about the same price as in Oz....so we have to be sensible about money and travel here is a big part of the expence.
But all is good...seeing as much as we can...
Today we plan to go to Sunshine City - it used to be the biggest department store in the world and have an aquarium and a planetarium inside as well as 7 floors of shops...Also nearby is the baby's favourite anime shops ( a full street of them ) so we will be bored stiff but the little girl will be in her element....
