Favorite Thing: There are foodstalls and tiny shops and stalls in lanes and alleys. The one pictured was at Shinjuku, near the Shinjuku station and Times Square area. The stalls look rather traditional to my untrained eyes...and make for a good photo opportunity. Juxtoposed with the traditional are the young Japanese guys, with punky yellow hair, and one is speaking on the handphone.

Favorite Thing: When you wander around in Tokyo, you will come across some quaint lanes and alleyways. This street, named Sushiya Street near Asakusa Temple, has a festive air about it, so I couldn't resist and took a shot. As you can see, it was decorated in pretty colours and teeming with people.
Fondest Memory: What makes it all Special:The best thing about Tokyo is wandering around & making little discoveries of your own.
Don't worry about getting lost- set out on foot, explore and you'll be sure to discover little treasures or meet new friends in the form of people and places. Part of the whole experience that makes Tokyo special, what you might discover, away from the commercial or shopping districts-whether it is a quaint shop which sells paper fans, or a chance encounter with a proud store owner, or a picture of young mother wheeling her baby in a stroller.

Favorite Thing: Japanese snacks inevitably look too good to be eaten. They come in beautifully decorated boxes or in lovely colourful wrappers, all of which are tasteful and delicate. The snacks can be sweet (such as Omochi) or savoury (eg. rice crackers or seaweed crackers). They are rather expensive, but do look very beautiful and can be given away as gifts to your friends back home. Apart from these snacks, I also enjoyed the grilled cuttlefish on sticks-OYSHI-des neh!!
Fondest Memory: One of my fondest memories was visiting the basements of large supermarkets in Tokyo and sampling the food before buying some of them.

Reason I like your pictures so much is because there are almost always people in your pictures,after all it is the people which makes a city/country. |
