Japan, winter 2003/04 (part 2)
Some new pics (eh! what a surprise!)
The quiet face the Buddha of Kamakura. We went there with Yoshie and Chizuru. Really an unforgetable day (Just a thought for Julien, who stayed in the guest house to look after our stuffs).
You can realise the size of the big bronze Buddha (I think its about 30 meters). It's possible to get inside.
Sunset in Kamakura. I'm sure there are some cleaner and more pleasant places in Japan (don't trust the picture...). Anyway, it always enjoyable to be near the sea even in Kamakura.
As you could see in the previous picture, the waves aren't huge... so I think this guy just came back home hoping for better days to come...
The NTT Tower, Shinjuku. You can notice a mosquito who tried to crashed himself in the building. Depressed?
The Bee Lounge in Shibuya. Very posh and smart. Nice place to have a drink. Similar the Insomnia Lounge. I went there with Chizuru and Yoshie (who is in the picture). I met her in a small bar next to Tama Ryokan (where we stayed for our first trip to Tokyo). The Billy's. It was small and she worked there with Go (they've been fired now). Julien and I sometimes had a drink there when we didn't want to take the train. Then we started to know her and get on well. Afterwards we had some good moment all together. She also introduce us to Chizuru. Hope to meet them again soon!
That's true... We collect what we have sowed! The use of French in Japan is sometimes quite funny! Have a look on this site (better if you understand french even if I don't always see what they mean): http://npu4.free.fr/dotclear/index.php
Landmark Tower, Yokohama. 253 meters. Quite impressive! and the lift is one the fastest in the world and you almost don't notice if it goes up or down. We went there by night and for 1000 yen you can admire Tokyo by night, not to be missed! Tokyo by day as well...
Had a late night?
It was simply the first time of my life that I saw a turning escalator. Amazing.
Watching TV while he's waiting for the train (no... this not a screen, even if we are in Japan!)
The Ten Ten guest house in Takadanobaba. Maybe one of the cheapest place where to sleep in Tokyo (about 1000 to 1500 yen per night). The comfort is rudimentary and you are quite tightened. My friends sleeped is this small room (Julien almost 2 weeks non-stop) with another guy who came from Thailand. He was working in a car factory and was here since several months. He still might be there (I hope not for him!). Anyway, if you don't want to waste money in a Ryokan or an Hotel, this place is for you! There is a kitchen too. http://www.tokyo-guesthouse.com/
