Titech

I must thank my Prof for selecting me to attend a workshop in Tokyo recently. The workshop was held in Tokyo Institute of Technology (TITech) - Ookayama campus. I would say the premise is very convenient. The train station is just across the street from the main gate. Nearby there are rows of shops and eateries. Not to mention McD is situated right opposite the main gate too. The campus is not big. You can cover the entire campus by foot. This makes the navigation easy; unlike our local public university. Some of the buildings are quite artistic (check out the library building). The main administration building is the most photographed building in the campus, I guess, as it's one of the earliest establishments. A decent place to study I would reckon.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Japan trip 2024

Just returned from a solo trip to Japan end of last month. The trip coincided with a conference in Sendai. It was an 8-day trip, including 2 days of travel. Took a direct flight from KL to Tokyo on the afternoon of October 23rd (Wednesday), arriving that night. By the time I cleared immigration, it was almost midnight. Then took a train to downtown Shimbashi. Without detailed research on the location of my booked capsule hotel, I ended up walking in the wrong direction and almost being harassed by roadside pimps (lol). After getting free Wi-Fi at a convenience store, finally able to find the hotel. Once checked in, took a hot bath (it was an open bath). That was the end of the day.  In-flight meal of ANA airline Male-only capsule hotel with open hot spring You can browse manga for free after soaking
