contrast

Got back home from Tokyo about 8pm last night. It was a very tiring but excellent trip. It wasn't the type of break I was looking for since I did a lot of walking and figuring out the complex rail system which I've come to call the colourful mass of spaghetti which makes up the ultra efficient integrated public transport system in Tokyo.



I did a bit of everything in Tokyo. The old and venerable looking shrines and temples, beautiful serene parks, modern and futuristic looking buildings and window shopping around the branded boutiques sprawled in hip areas of the city. So one can actually experience the contrast that makes the Japanese capital so fascinating without going through the whole of Japan.



Will update more. Hv to go back to class now, lunch time's over. Yes we still have extra classes even though we've done our finals. Ja ne!
