Couldn't help myself from excessive purchasing of gifts and souvenirs, just because of the nice packaging.
Roppongi 六本木. Lots of foreigners, and seemingly endless topless bars.
Shinjuku Station, both famous and infamous for its crowds. This is on Saturday 4pm.
The famous rainbow bridge! Romantic lor~~~
Wow! New York! Watch out for Paris too!

The guy was running into phantom.
Black eggs in Owakudani!
Japanese tradition is to hard boil eggs in the hot springs, commonly believed to achieve longetivity . The eggshells turn black from the minerals and take on a slight sulfurous smell.
The pirate ship, cruise over Lake Ashi from Togendai to Hakone Machi
Pirate ship, taken from the cable car station.
冲锋! Stood in the front of the deck for the cold windy 20 minutes (Erm, similar effect to Wolfgangsee :P)
Ancient Cedar Avenue. I walked from Hakonemachi to Motohakone to see this.
Motohakone is a pretty pier too!

Will the roof collapse?
Mountain train
I went to Hakone to see Mount Fuji, but too much clouds on that beautiful morning. So near yet so far.
Cable car from Sounzan to Togendai via Owakudani (me alone, happily, in the coach! The fact is, everyone already left to catch the pirate ship and I missed that and waited for 50 minutes!)
Owakudani 大涌谷. The heavenly or hellish view, on how you see, will make you stop breathing for a second or two.
Gora, mountain train from Hakoneyumoto

Where's this?
On my way to the airport, snapped from inside the Limousine Bus.
Hachioji is a township to the west of Tokyo, around 100 minutes of train ride on the JR Chuo line. It's where one of the Agilent site is located.
Lake Ashi, Gora, Owakudani, Sounzan, Togendai, Hakonemachi and Motohakone are all in Hakone, a mountainous resort area with hot springs and view of Mt Fuji.
Roppongi is near to Tokyo, a place where you finally hear and understand English.
During the week of customer visits, I visited (I mean, passed by) places like the Yokosuka Research Park, Yokosuka Bay area, Higashimatsuyama, and many others small towns that dot the prefectures of the island country, and that I would never recall their names again in a week or two.
Ignoring what's in the past, whether you fit in or not, it's a big country with big people, big commitments, big scale of organization and mechanization, as well as a big belief and preparation in and for the future.
