Day 4 -- Asakusa and "Raymond" Temple (Senshoji)

<-- This is the street that we have to 'trespass' before we reach Senshoji. And there's my brother pretending to be a tour guide for this expedition..

<-- That's Raymond's Gate!!

<-- And there was this really cute Welsh Corgi Cardigan at the temple as well.. (the owner brought it out for a walk when the weather was so chilly..)

<-- Then we had dinner at some Japanese Chinese Restaurant.. Which was really nice (even though i've always disliked Chinese cuisine..)

<-- My dad and my brother were rather satisfied with the meal.. thus the expression..

Day 5 -- Meiji Shrine and Harajuku

The entrance of the shrine -->

My brother insisted to take this piccy.. no comments (he sure is one photogenic chap..) -->

My loving parents (I took this picture using my dad's Nikon camera.. Good photographers usually use good cameras.. hehe ) -->

My dad.. I just love candid shots like these.. unlike those that you strike a pose and pretend to be cute (in a way or another..). The piccy on the left is taken by him.. Those rays formed due to the misty air in the forest were just fascinating.. -->

We even observed a traditional Japanese wedding.. how fortunate.. -->

There was this fountain where you can wash your hands with the so-called holy water that spilled out from those jets. Some people even drank the water.. and expelled their phlegm into the adjacent drain (without having to know that the water is being recycled.. after being purified.. that is..) -->

erm.. unsure of how i should address this thing in English.. It's just a wooden board for you to write your wishes on.. Then you hang it here and wait for things to happen.. (but they don't really happen actually.. because you have to pay a good 500 yen for it.. and paying money to make wishes is just... so wrong..) -->

Some of the teens doing Cosplay at Harajuku..

-->

(Above) --> We ended up taking pictures at some Pasta restaurant and it ended up looking pretty good.. So my pic went to take on the life of a profile picture on facebook.. haha

Day 6 -- Shinjuku and Takashimaya

<-- Mt Fuji (as seen from my hotel window.. Beautiful..)

<-- Just a busy street at night in Shinjuku West

Day 7

Some of Tokyo's Finest Scenes.. all taken on a bus ride to Narita Airport..

And then i got a little bored.. So i took this..

LOL.. Ok.. that's about it.. happy now? Sheesh.. And i wonder why i'm doing all this.. It's just not me to share about my experiences.. And i don't like to tell anyone where've i've been or whatnot.. Sigh.. Humans..
