I am aware that the long load time is a pain. But the bulky pictures are the very things that add color to the site. I'm still trying to balance between this and minimal load time for my readers. As of this message, I am slogging my ass off in Singapore! Hope to head off for a holiday real soon :) Thanks for your wonderful words! I am aware that the long load time is a pain.

Yeah! Now I do recall you telling me "Chikin! Chikin!" over the phone. That's so cute! Nah I suck at photography! I just photoshop every single one of the photographs I take to make them look more decent. lol “chikin”! Yeah! Now I do recall you telling me “Chikin! Chikin!” over the phone. That’s so cute!

Glad to know that you got what you wanted in the end :-) BTW you aren't just one of the best designer-cum-blogger around, but turning out to be quite a photographer as well. Very nice.

Tokyo is an awesome place, but then again so are many places in Japan - personal favourite of mine is Himeji.

In fact, did you know that narita is not in tokyo even though the airport is called tokyo narita airport? It's in the neighbouring prefecture called chiba (it may sound offensive). i love your pictures=) felt like going back to jp after looking at them even though i just came from there 2 mths ago=) i uploaded some nice shots of food and scenery too on my blog.. so feel free to drop by at my june archives... hey snowbiscuits here=)

I hope you won't be addicted to Tokyo! Haha! Many of my friends, like myself, would make a trip again at least once! By the way, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pingu" rel="nofollow">pingu</a> is Swiss animated, not Japanese. Er, I happen to know coz I'm a parent and my sons love watching the series! Can't wait for your subsequent 10 entries! :) Great post! I hope you won’t be addicted to Tokyo! Haha! Many of my friends, like myself, would make a trip again at least once!

I like how you took photos on the plane and of all the food you ate. Where was that shot of that restroom taken? I took some shots of the restroom in the Narita Airport, but they weren't as nice as that! I too, took photos of the ticket machine. I love how fast and efficient those places are. Also, was it expensive staying in Shinjuku? We stayed in Narita, which is far from all the action of downtown Tokyo. Either way, nice place to stay! Very nice photos!
