I found the time to upload pictures from my recent trip. These are just random shots to give you a taste of what took place in Tokyo.
----------------------
This is where I stayed, room 457. It is the smallest room I've paid to stay in. At least, I can still stretch out my arms without bumping into anything. The facilities are for communal use, by the way.
I was so excited to try this when I found this at the convenience store. I wonder if this is available in Manila.
This is where we rehearsed at the Olympic Center. As you can see, the room has sound-proof walls. We can also view Mt. Fuji from this room.
Here is a typical street in Tokyo, with a Y99 store. This store sold edible stuff. The Y100 store beside it sold knick-knacks.
Our second rehearsal was held here.
Here are some ACS members waiting for the rehearsal to commence. Picture-taking is the group's favorite past-time.
The THREE conductors. You'd notice that the Japanese conductor is so hip. I wish I got a shot of his polka dot socks.
Before we turned in for the night, we walked all the way to Harajuku. It took us 45mins by foot. Everything else in the street was closed for the night. We took the same route by bus the next day. It took us 5 mins. Dang!
Here we are toasting to the success of the festival.
While they were shouting "Kampai," I was busy doing this. Mahirap pala talaga gumawa ng origami. It looks so simple. But, you can't imagine how many folds it took for a 5x5in sheet of paper to look like this.
One of the tourist attractions in the Asakusa area, the rickshaw and its driver. I would've taken a ride if we had more time.
Our stay was short and sweet. The pinoy in us was put aside. We had to adapt to the pace and lifestyle of the Tokyoites. I definitely want to go back and explore what we failed to see. We are scheduled to go back in five years' time. I hope we have more time to enjoy the city and to get to know the lovely Japanese people. I hope to do it sooner, with Vic in tow.
