Accommodation  

Most of our stay in Taiwan are in the local homestay AKA Minsu(民宿）
Making these accommodation are so much easier than  I first thought, Reservation can be done  via agoda with credit card or directly contact these owners or housekeeper via email, linechat , whatsApp and skype. These owners or housekeepers are all very friendly and willing to provide you with assistance.

These are some of accommodation websites I have used for my research

Tokyo Trip 2010- Shibuya

Higashi Ginza(東銀座駅)-Ebisu (恵比寿駅)-Shibuya (渋谷駅)on the Hibiya line(日比谷線

I think the 1st time for most of us who knows this place is the famous 109 shopping building and the "loyal dog, Hachiko" statue.
So of course when you reach the Shibuya station, look for the sign that takes you to the statue where you will reach the main junction of all the shopping malls which they sells clothing and shoes of Japan local designer and some from South Korea.
One thing for sure is that you might want to be amazed by another type of view which is to stand next to the cross road junction and start counting the numbers of people walking across.

Tokyo Trip 2010- Akihabara

Higashi Ginza(東銀座駅)-Akihabara秋葉原駅 on the Hibiya line(日比谷線)
That night we had our first dinner at Akihabaraat this random YAKITORI resturant.
We orer the a Clams soup, Sashimi mix, Pork Yakitori, Shitakae Mushroom ,grilled chicken and a bowl of salmon porridge

Walk around this big electronic shopping district. Saw the big MUJI and UNIQULO. This place is like heaven for those 宅男，宅女, with all the games , figurines and cute soft toy from the Anime and Gameplay. :)

Lastly,we went to this very delicious and famous SOBA resturant.When you walk in, the おばさんsinging out the orders is so cute and the place is so nostalgic feeling, tatami platforms and wooden walls dining room.

This place is not easy to locate, so advice is that when you reach AKihabara station, transfer to the Marunouchi line and ride to Awajicho station but if you feel like a walk then you can try to find your way like us with the help of those maps found on every street junction.

Tokyo Trip 2010- Ginza

After a long walk from the wrong station (Shimbashi Ginza instead of Ginza Station)we finally found our hotel in Ginza

Ginza a upmarket shopping area where you can find most of the branded boutiques from Channel; Prada; Hermes and to the big Japan Mitsuikoshi Shopping mall...

those boutiques are all in 1 single building on its own.

The road right in between 2 long stretch of boutiques is closed during the weekend and public holidays, which you can see chairs and umbrella setup for you if you feel like a short rest and enjoy a differnet beautiful view of this uptown shopping district.

Tokyo Trip 2010- Narita Airport

Arrival at Tokyo Narita Airport 成田空港.
The 1st thing came to my mind would be bus or train to city?

Narita Express
East Japan Railway (JR-EAST)
60 min. 2,940 yen non-stop to Tokyo Station.
Some trains go to Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Yokohama.

Note: You can only ride the Narita express according to the time slot which you have booked/puchased on your ticket and if you missed it.... Sorry, you will have to go out and purchase another time slot.

Bus

more info can be found in
Yokoso Japan website

We went ahead with the time saving Narita Express which will bring us to Tokyo station and from there to our hotel at Ginza station.The ticket counte is located at the basement near to the entrance of the train, booked our Narita express ticket for the ride to Ginza station and also the return ticket. Lastly bought our 1st Suica card.

Note: (Suica card/Passmo card is something similar to our SGP ezlink card and HKG octupus card which you can top up with cash anytime,it can be use for most of the major train and bus lines operating in Tokyo. unless your trip is shorter then you might consider buying their day passes which has unlimited trips)

金庸online

今天收到一封电邮。 是以前那个和我一起在金庸online网路游戏的朋友，告诉我他们又开始玩起那个游戏，问我要不要一起？
突然我好怀念那时在游戏里的朋友们，有我在台湾称她为阿姐的和那些在马来西亚的所谓人妖，因为他们喜欢在游戏里用女生模型。

你们都在好吗？？？

你在哪里吗

打开窗，飘来一丝的暖意。
我是如此的沉静，勾起了回忆。
蒲公英从我脸庞飘过。
你的脸庞仍旧无一丝的忘过。

我的手，是如此的无力。
想用我的执著，抚摸梦里的你
但你的身影就像蒲公英一样的飘过。

我自己心裡有數，你還很努力的活著。
我只想轻声问你一句， 你还在那里吗？
告诉我，你再也不爱我了。
我的心以定，爱已沉淀，你在哪里吗？
告诉你，我真的不爱你了

梦醒了，希望离去的你会明白。
我只想告诉你，我已爱你到无法说。。。。
我爱你。
