Tokyo Tower

One of the must-visit places in Tokyo - Tokyo Tower. Initially, I didn't how to get there. Well, took the sub and came out near Daemon area. Surprisingly, the tower is just nearby. Personally, I think this tower is more worthy to visit compared to KL Tower. You won't feel bored after all. The reflection of the tower is seen on one of the nearby condos. Some night view photos as seen from the tower. Note that most of the skyscrapers have red neon light on their rooftop. Any idea what's that for?

More funny costumes during the marathon ... This guy is a JAL employee?

Tokyo Marathon 2012

I happened to witness Tokyo Marathon event on the last day in Tokyo. Prior to that, I met three fellow Malaysians who just came to Tokyo to participate the marathon. With such passion and enthusiasm, they've made the necessary preparation for the race. Even with the high entry fees (about RM450 for international participant). The marathon event was quite entertaining. Most of the locals came out to support. Some even cheered up the runners. But the most entertaining part was the costume of the runners. This could be the weirdest marathon I've even seen. Runners donned themselves in all sort of characters (alien, pikachu, angry bird, clown etc). I'm not sure if I can see the same funny costumes in any of our local marathon event.
