We paid a visit to Japan’s tallest building at Yokohama. This building stands 300 mtrs tall. All it takes for the lift from 0 to 69th floor…just guess…45 seconds !!! ( The second fastest elevator on earth)
What a Glorious 360 deg view of the Tokyo City.
It’s two months and Hair cut time at Tokyo. Quickest and the cheapest. Quick Beauty is a hair-make chain. All in 10 minutes for 10 $. Go there n buy a ticket for 10$. Wait for your turn and Start the watch.
Quickest, maybe but cheapest? I don’t think so. That’s Rs.500 for a haircut? Dude! I get mine for under Rs.50.
Man..a regular hair cut otherwise is around 30$, which is 1500 Rs. Remember in US, I paid 17$. Tokyo should have cost more.
Yea, I guess you’re right. Tokyo is the world’s most expensive city. Thanks for the proof.
Hope same type of system (ticket & queue…) will come to India sooon Or already may be there in some metros …
Finding English titles at a book store in Japan is uncommon. The rack space share of English books Vs others, is so small that you’ll not figure out rack location, till you ask the front-desk. When you find that rack, that little space has got just handful of handpicked titles . So finding these two titles was not difficult at all. Bought them at Ueno station’s Book store.
Curious Incident of a Dog in the night time – By Mark Haddon [ Aju had mentioned this sometime back ]
The stuff of thought – By Steven Pinker [ Aju would like this. Lingustics n blah blah ]
How are you getting along with “The curious…”?
I’ll check out The stuff of thought.
The curious had a good first half. Then somehow things became repetitive and Suspense broke in the middle.
Probably no one welcomes spring like Japanese do. Ueno is the place to be at the spring break. Cherry Blossom ( I knew of only shoe polish) , brings half of Tokyo underneath these trees for a all day fun n pic-nic.
I posted this greeting card to my parents. They must be lot relieved now that I have found some one
