Walking anywhere, especially...
by kenHuocj
Walking anywhere, especially traditional and out of way places;
getting reinforcing picutres and images of their lifestyles. The new and old side by side:
a cosmoplitan metropolis still maintaining distnct areas of commercial activities;
people of different calls on the move 24/7
*** getting lost in New Shinjuku near the Tokyo Metropolitan Govenment Building when trying to get to Kabuki-cho with my friend Lucas from Soweto =8-)))
Sanrio Puroland Tickets
by muddybok
Ticket needed for Sanrio Theme Park located in Tama City, Tokyo. This theme park featured the famous Hello Kitty & other Sanrio merchandise characters.
I find that the ticket is a little pricey, as compare the Disneyland which is more worthwhile.
Sanrio Puroland Tickets Information
When you visit Sanrio Puroland, there are very scenic views along your train ride. Hop on the express training first and change into locomotive mode when it's nearly to the city where Sanrio Puroland located.
HARAJUKU
by Adeline_Foo
HARAJUKU is one of Japan favorite neighborhoods in Tokyo. Since this is Tokyo's most popular hangout for Japanese high school and college students, if you are over 25, you will probably feel ancient here. The young come here to see and be seen; you're sure to spot Japanese punks, girls decked out in the fashions of the moment, and young couples looking their best.
TAKESHITA DORI is a pedestrian-only street lined nonstop with stores that cater to teenagers. It's packed--especially on Sunday afternoons--with young people hunting for bargains on inexpensive clothing, shoes, music, sunglasses, jewelry, watches, cosmetics, and more I don't really fancy HARAJUKU and TAKESHITA DORI because it is cater to the young. The fashion here definately don't appeal to me. Furthermore, I was there (with VT member, Atsuko) on a Sunday afternoon. It was PACKED with lots of teenagers!
Places where only Japanese are allowed (Bars, etc)
by jake5148
I was a bit shocked when I was in Tokyo and got rejected from going into several places just because I am not Japanese. I actually still feel offended by it because its just racism. However you have to handle it graciously, don't argue or make scene its not just you it any who is is not from Japan who is getting denied entry.
