Fun Couple Was Here (2008-03-30)
My sister Serlina and her husband David came to Tokyo on a tour from Hong Kong and spent some extra three days at our place after the tour finished. It was absolutely wonderful to sightsee and eat with them since they are such great fun to hang around with.
The weather was uncooperative during their stay; it was cold and it
rained and rained and rained (at one point 45 hours straight!)
The day they left saw sunny sky and warm weather again!
We took them to the usual spots such as Shinjuku (
), Kichijouji, large
100-Yen shop in Kinshijo, Asakusa (
) and Ueno (
) etc. Those places have
appeared on this blog before, so I won't repeat myself.
After settling at our apartment, we went to Kichijouji to have
lunch. The ramen shop I was gonna take them closed
down...:( We just randomly picked another restaurant to have a
light meal since KL was taking us to Gyuu no Tachijin for dinner.
We settled for lunch at Azabu Sabo since their replicas looked
enticing. Well, my ramen was very so-so, nothing to rave
about. David wanted to buy me lunch but I successfully shoved my
share down his pocket.
We walked around Kichijouji till it was time to leave for Shinjuku
to browse the shops there and then meet up with KL. Since
Serlina's tour already took them to the Hello Kitty store there, I
didn't need to.
We had another delicious BBQ dinner at Gyuu no Tachijin and dessert
at Excelsior before catching a taxi home.
