Tokyo, Day 3

Following Father Giao Gui's instructions, we took a train train to Shiodome and then changed to the Yurikamome line (a monorail) which would take us to Odaiba. Odaiba isn't on the Tokyo Subway Route map - told you the whole thing was complicated.

The monorail actually travels under a suspended bridge known as the Rainbow Bridge. It's quite an amazing structure.

Upon reaching Odaiba, we walked around Aqua City and had lunch there. One one particular floor (think it was the 5th), there are 6 outlets serving ramen from various parts of Japan (Sapporo, Nigata, Tokyo, Tokushima, Hakata). Pretty yummy, except that the ramen we had was the fat yelllow mee kind, which isn't exactly my favourite.



After lunch, we took a walk to Palette Town, whose main attractions are the shopping malls. Venus Fort is structured to look like a medieval European town. Lots of shops and a mini casino. There's also a giant ferris wheel at Palette Town.

Within Venus Fort itself, there's a shop specially catered to selling pet stuff and pets. Check out these 2 cuties we saw there!


It's nice to know that the Japanese really love their dogs - these 2 have got bling bling on them! And I realised that the Japs have a preference for French Bulldogs, Poodles, Corgis and Long-haired Daschunds.

We left Odaiba and headed off for Roppongi. I think Roppongi is overrated. Nothing much to see. Perhaps its was also the weather that dampened our moods. It was raining the WHOLE day.

Let's hope it's better tomorrow.
