Shinjuku

Hello everyone! Guess what?

Made another trip to Shinjuku and took more photos!

The image above is of our (Raissa and I) HELLO KITTY STASH!

It came in a box that was sent by Tama-san, together with soap and toilet paper.

(Long story)

He has been helping us ALOT with our stay here in Japan!

どうもありがとうございました Tama-san!

This is the Kitano Show Gakko (Kitano Elementary School) bus stop.
I take the bus from here to Chofu Station at 0912 every morning. (Except Weekends)
I will then take either the 0928 or 0938 Keio Line Rapid Commuter Train to
Kami-Kitazawa Station.
Creature of habit. Same routine, different day.

There are many performances by different people, everyday at Shinjuku!

It's like Orchard Road I guess, except that the songs are in Japanese.

This duo was AWESOME! The song they sang is stuck in my head now!

Shinjuku Skyscraper District!

TEA TIME!
Had a piece of cake at this little cafe(?) that served cakes, toast and tea!

Omoide Yokocho.
Basically a small network of alleyways along the tracks northwest of Shinjuku Station.
The narrow lanes are filled with dozens of tiny eateries serving ramen, soba, sushi, yakitori and kushiyaki.
Many restaurants consists of just one counter with some chairs, while others have a couple of tables.

More shopping for you at Shinjuku?

PACHINKO SLOTS!
OH THIS WAS JUST, LIKE NO OTHER!
I've never actually dared to go into any of these shops, but that day I WAS ESPECIALLY DARING.
I mean YOLO (You Only Live Once), right?
Imagine the sound of A GAZILLION-BAZILLION tiny steel balls dropping into these machines.
Now take that sound in your imagination, TIMES THAT BY LIKE WOAH, I can't even describe it.
It was BEYOND ANYTHING YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!
When I stepped out of the shop, I could LITERALLY HEAR THE SILENCE.
Maybe I'll go try playing it one day! YEAH!

Yodobashi Camera.
One of Japan's leading discount electronics retailers, and especially strong on camera equipment.
Yodobashi's main store is divided up between half a dozen buildings near the west exit of Shinjuku Station, while a smaller branch is located near the station's east exit.

Random shots of Rilakkuma and AKB48 catcher machine things.

Cool arcade games that they don't have in Singapore.
LE SIGH.

KAMO Soccer Shop.
Remember this place where I got my Japan jersey from?
Yeah, I went back there again. HA!
Try to imagine its SHEER AWESOME-NESS from these few images, okay!

Autographed boots and jerseys from many awesome soccer players from ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

They even have Lionel Messi's autographed boots!

Official Euro2012 match balls!

Lumine!
Owned by JR East and located both next to and above Shinjuku Station's South and East Exits.
Lumine is divided into "Lumine 1" and "Lumine 2" on either side of the South Exit and "Lumine Est" above the East Exit.

The place Raissa is dying to visit.
The tumblr macaroon thingy.
I have to admit, they look soooo good!

DEAN & DELUCA.
Apparently according to Raissa, they have a branch in Singapore.
I got some bread/pastry (Whatever you call it) AND IT WAS AWESOME!

The other side of the Shinjuku train station.
Not sure what its called though, but its near Takashimaya and Kinokuniya bookstore.

Okay I admit it wasn't an accident that there were girls in REALLY PRETTY YUKATAS.
(In case you want to find out more about YUKATAS)
I wouldn't mind wearing one! SOOO PRETTYYYYY! *DROOLS*

Enjoy the pictures!
These places/things were all found in Shinjuku!
Awesome place to visit in Tokyo!
Okay, you're about to see a whole lot of pictures of the catching machine toys BUT!
THEY WERE TOO CUTE, I COULDN'T RESIST.
Besides, you can't find the same kind in Singapore. Hehe!

HUGE guitar place in Shinjuku!
Saw quite a few people inside just jamming.
WEE HUNG! Go here okay!

The Takashimaya here is soo different from the one in Singapore.
Awesome CUTE uniforms for staff, SUPER COOL TOILETS, HUGE lifts with LIFT MEN (What do you call them...?) and A WHOLE LOT MORE!
Didn't get to visit Kinokuniya bookstore because I had to catch the last bus at 2140.
YES, soo early! Forcing us to go home and rest early.
Good good, I like. HAHA!

Come back soon for my next post okay!
Hope you enjoyed this post. COMMENT OKAY!
