UT Tubes

I love how the T-shirts are packaged in tubes. Here is my collection. :)



Yokohama

Today we went to Yokohama. The weather forecast said that it was gonna rain a lot today. Sure it was a little bit cloudy in the morning but we decided to go anyway. The express train took us to Yokohama in 18 minutes. From there we took another train to the Minatomirai station.





We went up the Yokohama Landmark Tower. The observatory deck is on 69th floor and the world's second fastest elevator with an impressive max speed of 750 meters per minute took us there. Here are some views from the observatory deck.

China Town



After China Town we took the train back to Minatomirai for some shopping. When we were done with the mall we continued the evening with some more shopping in Shibuya.

Fugu Dinner

Two of us left Tokyo for Sweden this morning. Alex and I were left. We said good-bye to our Japanese colleagues around 5:30 PM today and went straight to Ginza for some shopping. I bought some very cute pink chino shorts. :)

We were recommended a Fugu restaurant near the Ginza area, so we went to that place for a late dinner. It was fun to have tried it, but it really is nothing special with the taste. It taste like chicken.

Here is the menu and the different courses.
