| Day 2 Tokyo: On the way to Ikebukuro Station |
第二天的行程主要是去築地市場。為了要品嚐到新鮮的海鮮，我們一大清早就出發從池袋坐地鐵去築地了。因為剛好是繁忙時間，讓我們經歷到日本人的紀律和步伐。看著一大班排著得整齊，挺胸收腹，步伐像操兵似的的上班族。有紀律，不會爭先擁後的。不禁舉指一讚。We woke up early in the morning to go to the Tokyo underground subway station. Felt the momentum of office workers marching out of the train station. They are all well dressed, and organised. Impressed.

到了築地漁市場，感覺良好。要知道我其實是挺怕陰濕的地板和魚腥味。在築地完全聞不到味道。洗手間也是乾爽清潔的。佩服。市場除了有海鮮，還有很多不同類型的食品售賣。例如醃製了的蔬菜和肉類。還有，那裡的牛肉又靚又平。可惜的是我們酒店沒有煮食餐具，要不就一早買它們回去了！！We arrived Tsukuji market, one of the largest seafood market in Tokyo.
They sell a lot of fresh seafood with high quality, and we were impress by their hygiene,
No bad odor and wet floors. Apart from seafood, the market also sell different types of salted veges and meat. The quality of the beef in Tsukiji is really good, pity we didin't have a stove back in the hotel, otherwise we would have bought them home.

我總是覺得日本人很有創意的。不是一味的跟隨別人。從小小的日常生活產品食品就看得出來。這個是甚麼，是豆腐，很可愛是吧！可能有人會覺得多此一舉，不實際。但你知道嗎，這些小小的改變，小小的想法，也是需要勇氣和努力去表達出來的。在此我對所有的創作人表達我的敬意。The japanese are very innovative in terms of...almost everything! This is a tofu, wrapped in ballons. Interesting shape, and I bet kids would love the sphere looking food.

這是我們的午餐，一碗飯一個湯烏東四人份。本小姐是覺得不夠的。真的想把那碗飯自己吃掉！！超好吃的！好新鮮！尤其是它們的海膽和生蝦。It's a pity that we didn't eat more of these in Japan!! This is the kansai don we ordered for lunch. But since my mum and her friends are rather small eaters, we shared this for 4 person -_- (when I can eat one by myself!!) and we ordered a handmade seafood udon as well. The seafood is soooo fresh and every ingredient in the dish taste amazing!!

日本的東京是寸金尺土。店舖，尤其是食店也是小小的。更不用說拉麵店了。大家也排排坐的吃。身型肥半的可能會坐得不大舒服的了。但是，坐著這樣的店舖吃麵是一個很好的經驗，老板很有善親切。麵，肉與湯的品質是一流的。One of the ramen stores in Tsukuji market. Highlighting the lack of space issue in Tokyo, haha....but the service of the shopkeep are excellent. Again, the japanese impressed me with the quality of every ingredient in the dishes.

沒位坐嗎，沒關係，站著吃吧。美食當前不用尷尬啊！Another snap shot of the crowd in the seafood market. If you can't get a seat, feel free to stand and eat!!

午餐過後我們就離開築地，步行去著名的購物勝地，銀座。途中，我們路經一間寺廟。抱著好奇的心走進去了。裡面剛好有個和尚念經，零零星星的有幾個看似上班族的人在裡頭睡著。感嘆。。從忙碌緊張的生活中，這些人真的需要安靜的地方歇息。We left Tsukuji market after lunch. On our way to Ginza we come across a temple and decided to take a quick look inside. There were a few office workers inside the temple for a quick nap, or just to relax themselves during their short lunch break.

抵達銀座時大家也有點累。所以在一家西式的咖啡店吃了下午茶。餐廳裡的人衣著非富則貴，我們搞不好是著得最普通的顧客了。失禮失禮。但真的很累，和它們的西餅很吸引呢！！Our afternoon tea at Ginza area. The fruit tart is very nicely done. Both presentation wise and taste.

| From Day1_2Tokyo: Muji in Tokyo |
無印良品的粉絲，不要錯過東京的無印喎！規模挺大的。我很少行無印，但這間令我大開眼界。夠我逛了兩個小時。Whether or not you are a MUJI fan you will love this store. They have a wide selection of just about everything, from food to clothes and home appliances.
 |
| From Day1_2Tokyo: Japanese textile store |
我對印著日本傳統花紋的布料和用品有個情意結。經過每間賣這些商品的店舖，就算再餓再累也好，也誓要入去逛逛。哈哈。可惜，錢不多，不能盡情的買。但看過心也是快樂的。我愛看美麗的東西。I'm a super big fan or japanese textiles. They are elegant and cute. Just couldn't get enough of them during the trip in Japan and I had to pop into every single japanese tradition textile stores that I came across.

From Day1_2Tokyo: Food stores underneath the bridge of Tokyo |
 |
| From Day1_2Tokyo: Another food hunt under the bridge |
有朋友介紹去六丁目橋底的居酒屋。我們就去試了。東京裡的靠近地鐵站的橋底很多時也會有店舖，在六丁目的就盡是居酒屋了。One of my mum's friend recommanded to try the restaurants underneath the bridge of some train station in Tokyo city.
 |
| From Day1_2Tokyo: Our dinner at one of the restaurant |
居酒屋賣的大多數也是小食。例如串燒魚生等。當然不少得它們的啤酒和消酒啦！！Meat kebabs in japanese style. I love their beer and sake too!!!
 |
| From Day1_2Tokyo: A line of dinner wine place in Tokyo |
我們發覺去居酒屋的大多數也是男士，女生甚少。日本其實是很大男人主義的國家。不過現在比以前好多了，最少，女士去居酒屋不會被人白眼。Interestingly, we didn't see much woman in these stores. Mostly male.
 |
| From Day1_2Tokyo: Stores inside the underground subway train station |
在日本每天會酒店前也一定會逛逛它們地鐵站裡店舖。真是包羅萬有的。日本人八點多下班了就會逛店舖買晚飯和日用品。日本人的平均工作時間是每日十二小時。可怕呢。香港也差不多了。真可憐。We love the underground subway train stations in Japan and could never get bored of it! The average working hours in japan is almost 12 (i.e. the rush hour is like from 6 - 9 pm! Erina works till 10:30pm everday, and her husband, 11 pm......). So people would go to these stores to grab a quick dinner after work.

| From Day1_2Tokyo: My giant takoyaki |
貪吃的我最喜歡到處吃。遠處聞到章魚燒的香氣就被引了過去了。這個章魚燒有我手板那麼大。很好吃，但建議你要跟人一半吃。因為真的會很飽！！I'm always in for a quick snack. The smell of takoyaki attracted me and I've bought a giant takoyaki. They are the size of my palm! I had to share this with mum coz it was so big!!!
 |
| From Day1_2Tokyo: Strawberry from supermarket |
這天買了的是草莓。我覺得日本人也是完美主義者，每粒草莓也是超紅，形狀每個都是完美的。吃下很甜，真的令人讚讚讚。The fruit of the day: Strawberry!!! One of the best strawberry I've tasted ever! (but Erina said the strawberry farm from France are even better, wow!) They are so sweet and red and each of them is in perfect shape.
第二天就這樣過了唷
