Tokyo Trip Day 2

Wake up at 11am, but cant sleep well at all. Not get use to it. Go out have breakfast. Met a Chinese waiter. I ask him if there is any nice place to go around here, Asakusabashi. After done breakfast, walk around this place. Not many people on the road because of holiday in Japan at that time.

This place Asakusabashi is mean a bridge across Asakusa, and it is the river under it.

After that, mum and I decided to go to the Asakusa Temple, the oldest temple in Japan. Easy to go. Take the subway 2 stations reach. Full of people around that place. Actually 1,2,3 of Jan are Japanese New Year, and New Year of coz go temple 'bai bai' lo. We took almost 3 hours to get inside the temple. But half ways, a lot shops to see, got foods to buy on the way too so wont get bored.

The main gate.

This is some kind of 'machi' with peanuts on it.

This is ME!

Can you see the end of the people here?

Japanese people is so systematic.

Okay inside the temple is actually nothing inside except a pool that let people throw coins and make wish. Queue up for 3 hours but inside the temple 3 mins only. After that leave the temple, saw people 'chou chien'. Insert 100 yen then can see your fortune! I tried and got a good fortune! LOLNL.

The wishing pool.

Something nice to eat on the way into the temple.

Good Fortune!

530pm and already dark here. Around the temple got a lot shops to walk and eat. All selling traditional foods and goods. And all the way got a lot people around. We go back hotel quite early because the next morning need wake up early.

The night view of the main gate.

This is delicious!
