The story behind "When in Tokyo":

I will never forget when I was in Tokyo. It was an unfortunate event when suddenly shocked my episode of excitement  to the metropolis. Luckily,  it was not so really called turmoil despite it frighten me enough. Only due to seconds of shock by the earthquake, I stranded around more than half hour inside the train. I don't know how you would feel when  your boarding train is static over the long sea bridge for quite long time as it happened to me.

That time, I felt the triggered warning alarm train provoked much worries to passengers. Even I could see the train conductors were fussy handling telecoms  line ( maybe trying contact with railway operation center), since I was at first car.  At first shock, they was trying to slowly move the train from stranded on the bridge but it seem couldn't work after another shocks impacted on the railway system. Their anxiety showed something bad might happen if the bridge has problem. Tsunami might sway the train on the bridge or the train might submerged into the sea are the bad guesses might you wouldn't want to happen. But, I realize the only One Hope at such critical moment is by keep praying to Allah to get serenity. Praise to Him, lastly nothing bad happened to us.

After went back to Osaka city, I found myself very lucky having safe journey. Just on the day of my arrival here, I got news the other disastrous typhoon struck in Tokyo. I am grateful to Him because now I stay in Osaka. My memory in Tokyo bring me a lot to remember :==)

My Travel Info:

Now, let's put the story left behind my history.

Actually, today’s entry, I’m really pleasure to share another short travel to Tokyo during this summer. When anyone mention about Tokyo, I bet some of us can imagine the trademarks of this metropolis city. Maybe almost Tokyo Tower is one of the most popular one. Actually, they are other famous wonders rather than its remarkable skyline.  What are they?

When I was in Tokyo, walking under 33 degree of sunlight and 29 degree of night breeze, I found this city never be silent. This huge city with approximately 35 million people which larger than Malaysian population indeed astonishingly portrays its modernity spreading over all aspects.  For me, I see Tokyo as the center of the cultures harmonizes with modern civilization elements without disregarding their good morals especially respect values towards elders. Tokyo is actually popular worldwide not just due to having fascinating places like Tokyo Tower, Shibuya District, Harajuku streets, Asakusa Temple, Ginza Castle or Tokyo Sky Tree (recently developing) but it is developed with civilized and responsible people make it comfortable to live in. That is why, you would hardly find out traffic jams, illegal racing, pickpockets,  scams, or litter. However, the negative might be molestation as a big issue that usually reported during transportation.

Here, some of pictures of memory in Tokyo:

 Akihabara- the popular place for shopping games, electronic devices and anime merchandise.

 Shibuya District- The most crowded traffic junction in the world... really?!

 Shibuya Station locates the Hachiko memorial statue. I just knew it was famous in Hollywood and Japanese movie based on true story. The dog  is popular as the most loyal dog in the world. It died in 1935 after 9 years waiting it's master who died in 1925 at this railway station.

 Harajuku - The place where you can find out the anime cosplays and Japanese displays.
