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.

What's in Tokyo?

Visited Tokyo, Japan last week. Went there to attend a workshop. Fortunately had a few days of wandering around the mega-city. Since my hardisk is almost at its limit, I may need a little more time to manage the files in order to transfer the photos from my camera to PC. My perception of Tokyo - clean, crowded, systematic, packaging and politeness. More to come.

Fast construction

Can you guess how long does it take to complete a 15-storey building? 2 years? No, the Chinese did it in SIX days only. This accomplishment has put most of the builders in shame. On the other hand, how safe is a building which is completed in a super short time frame?

I've found my hand

Baby Marcus recognizes his hand.

Angry Ang Pao

Angry Birds is so popular that it also appears on red packet. Now is the giver as angry as the Angry Birds' characters?
