Nikko & Kawagoe & Tsukiji

So, yesterday I went with Lisa to Kawagoe for a day trip after our attempted trip to Takayama. (Yes I have found a travelling buddy that doesn't need to sleep either!!)
Kawagoe is only half an hour by train from Ikebukuro Tokyo. Nicked named 'Little Edo (name for old tokyo) it was famous for their (more) fireproof housing.
What is special is the fact that the whole town has preserved the traditional atmosphere. The Kashyiya Yokocho street was lined with shops selling old fashioned sweets. I ate so many sweet potatoes (Kawagoe speciality) I was farting so much on the way back..hahaha
But I was ill last night Jane says it's due to the intensive travelling, but I have done that before right? Maybe it's that fact that you guys are not around and I am missing all of you terribly...Hope everyone's well and I will see you soon

Here are the photos of Nikko!! (Only putting two on..Trying hard not to turn my blog into an online album~~)
Hmm, how can i convey to everyone how pretty it really is. Maybe if i say that if carman was here he would need a 1Gb sized memory card?? I'm so mean But carman deserves to be teased, isn't that right carman

Aya told me how to load pictures onto xanga without having to upgrade! hehe~so happy. Therefore I shall continue blogging away..thanx aya!!!
Lisa and I were hardcore travellers. Having got back from Nikko at 9pm we decided we were gonna go and take a day trip to Takayama the following day at 6am! Which we did but unfortunately due to the high prices and the time takes to get there we decided against the idea. Plus there was a typhoon and the weather really was against us.
To award ourselves for getting up so early. We went to the world's biggest fish market-Tsukiji Market instead. I have never seen sashimi sold in chunks rather than slices!! But all the blood put me off eating breakfast there, next time I shall go especially to the restaurant nearby to try the freshest and cheaply priced sushi!
