お約束

Since there still seem to be people reading, I guess I'm going to put up some pictures then...

The area around Ikebukuro Station's East exits. My place was about a few minutes walk down this street. Lots of stuff to do around here.


Ramen restaurant on the West side of the station has apparently learnt from Miyajima and put up informative signs for waiting times. There wasn't any queue though...


Sunset viewed from the 60th floor observatory deck at Sunshine City, about 3 minutes from my place.


Paid a visit to Yasukuni Shrine this time round. It's a very beautiful place, and it's a real shame that it'll probably be more well-known for its controversy rather than it's beauty. To be honest, I never really felt comfortable while I was there, but take away what it's associated with and I think it could be a great place to rest one's mind and body.


The Budokan was holding a boxing event (with two world title matches no less), and I was lucky enough to pop by. I didn't have the cash for tickets though.


I was also fortunate enough to have been in Tokyo when a new subway line opened. The Fukutoshin Line seems to be last new line to be opened for quite some while, and I managed to take a ride from Ikebukuro to Harajuku.

Also made another trip to Yokohama (sponsored by the language school), but all I got were really blurry pictures of night scenery.

More school-related photos to be up soon then!
