Tokyo Trip

I have to warn you that this post has a lot of photos. Loading time may be long.

I think most of our friends and blog readers know that we shot a lot of photos in our trip. Yes, we did it again in Tokyo, Japan.

We made use of our two free weeks to make this trip happened. Actually, we had photo sessions right before and after this trip. Tokyo is easy to travel without tour guide. You only need a Japan Railway (JR) map and a Tokyo Metro (subway) map. Maybe, you need to have the basic level of Japanese (like JAP-100 course).

Jessie and I spent a day in Nikko and 1 day in Kamakura. They are two old towns outside Tokyo. Although the day in Kamakura rained badly, we had a memorable day. We saw a few traditional Japanese weddings and met a few professional wedding photographers at a temple. They were all in black ties and black suits (under warm weather). Amazing! Other than Jessie's crazy shopping, we ate local food along the way to destinations, nonstop. We were lucky to see a restaurant showing Blue Fin Tuna Fish cutting show on the close day of Tsukiji Fish Market. Moreover, we had chance to eat fresh Blue Fin Tuna Toro Sushi. After Toyko trip, we stopped by Hong Kong and met some old friends and relatives.

The best Toro Sushi that I ever had


Hong Kong's view is very different from 15 years ago. I couldn't see the mountain behind these buildings even in day time.

Kung-Fu Master Kong invited us to have the traditional "big bowl" meal. We ate inside his lecture room with 35 people at the temperature of higher than 35 Celcius. HOT.....
