Early in the morning I had to leave Tokyo for Kyoto, where I would be spending the next two days with xanthe! To reach Kyoto I would take the super high-speed bullet train from Tokyo station. I had never been on a bullet train before so I was looking forward...
This was the last full day I had in Tokyo. The following morning I would be leaving for Kyoto! So, armed with Beni’s pro semi-SLR camera, we spent the day doing some final sightseeing. Our first stop was Marunouchi, an area marked by tall skyscrapers. This is the commercial district...
Caution to guys: Cute overload ahead! If you wish to skip the ensuing kawaii-ness in entirety, scroll all the way down for some nice photos of a Buddhist temple. On this day, I paid a visit to Sanrio Puroland – home of Hello Kitty and all things cute! If someone...
This was the first (of 2 days) in Japan that I got to do some solo travelling! The excitement and exhilaration that stem from facing an utterly foreign city alone is something I haven’t experienced in a long time. As much as I love spending time with my friends, there...

Hey people, I am back from my 11-day holiday in Japan! It had been an immensely memorable experience and I had lots of fun, booze, shopping and sightseeing! Right now I’m physically and mentally exhausted! But I do have tons of pictures, videos and experiences to blog about. Hopefully from...
By this time tomorrow I would have arrived in Tokyo, where I would be gorging on gorgeous Japanese cuisine for the next 11 days! In the days leading up to this trip, I have been stuffing myself fat with several meals of yummy Indian, Muslim and various other local food....
