Japan Part 5 - shopping and food

This trip, we managed to taste the freshest 'sea' creatures.. we had two of these boats....super super yummy... :)




more amazingly, we had the famous Kobe beef. Apparently the Kobe cows drink milk in the morning, drink beer in the afternoon, listen to classical music and need to be massaged everday.. Thus, that explains the extremely soft texture of the meat and of coz this correlate with the extremely expensive price.

We visited the Imperial Palace during the birthday of the Emperor of Japan. The bridge was where Japan has declared to surrender unconditionally for the World War 2.

Shopping in Ginza. You can imagine all the international brands have their own builidings of at least 6-8 storeys high i.e. Dior, Giorgio Armani, LV etc etc. Everyone in Japan loves their 'branded' bags and jewellery. You could see the shops were packed with people and i was tricked to believe there was a sale where in fact it was not. It is just the norm for young japanese to buy branded items as though they are buying groceries :P
