Hey peepz! Its yours truly in Japan! A short update here from Waseda U.

Met up with Eng Seng from Waseda. He brought me around Harajuku. And this is the famous Takeshita-dori where the happening young throng this single alley lined with the trendiest of street fashion.

Then we proceeded to the nearby Meiji-jingu. It is considered to be the most majestic of Shinto shrines in Japan. Hundreds of thousands come queue here for hours on New Years Eve to pray for blessings that takes 3 minutes for you to put in your incense before you are hastily pushed out to let others in... This according to Eng Seng.

Its a cool and beautiful walk down the forests enroute to the shrine.


A huge display of rice wine donated by the rich. Rice wine is a symbol of wealth and prosperity.


The huge entrance (mon?) to the shrine.

The next day, I and Aikheng went to Akasaka to meet up with some Singaporeans in the Singapore Association in Japan. We met up at Tully's Coffee before proceeding to a Hainanese Chicken Rice stall nearby.


Its authentic Singapore food!


With a merlion!


And the entire set up! For SGD 15. =_=


Some of the Singaporeans we met! Its was definitely fun meeting Singaporeans in a foreign land!
