JAPAN Shopping trip 2013
Tokyo trip (11 To 17 June 2013)
I and colleague went for a week of shopping and sightseeing in Tokyo Japan.
It's my 3rd time in Japan, it's curious to see how japanese have recovered after the earthquake and radioactive leak situation.
Surprisingly , japanese still worked as hard as before, the girls still ware thick makeup. People still as busy as ever but I noticed japanese young people are less considerate than before. They sat and eat in the priority seats in Japan rail , while many old folks stood beside them:(
So did the radioactive situation hit them hard ? As a tourist , I dun see the effect , maybe less tourists . I see less Singaporeans going to Japan than before .And I still ate sushi in Japan despite the "scare" .stuff sold in Japan are mainly made from china rather than made in Japan .
Make up and medicine stuff still worth to buy in Japan as well as bags such as Agnes B .coach and Kate Spade very ex in Japan, not worth to buy at all.japanese now prefers to carry coach bags than LV .
Disney sea is worth to bring kids to go. Rides are suitable for younger kids, not very scary, more fun and enjoyable , not much excitement and thrill though , i think our RWS is too thrilling . Shuttle bus is very punctual in leaving so be sure to reach the bus terminal at least 30 mins before the Actual time.
Its weird but japanese couples love to go dating in amusement parks.

Sanrio land is mainly a Hello kitty land.
Not much to see and play except going to the restaurant and eat their meals and get your money's worth of souvenirs of HEllo kitty cup, napkins, chopsticks , plates hehhehe .
Sunshine plaza is surprisingly more a shopping paradise , like Far East plaza .a lot of small shops to look see.
Ueno is like Japan street market where you can buy makeup , foodstuff, clothing, shoes and accessories at cheap prices.
