Fuji terebi at Odaiba

We went here yesterday. It was gusty and bright. I haven't broken out any sweat in Japan so far. Love the weather here.

Post-trip:

So continuing the rest of the Odaiba trip here...



Anyway, it was extremely bright there. Bright, cold and once we were up on the eighth (?) level of Fuji TV studio, gusty as well.

Inside Hachitama. The ball that person's holding is full of overpriced cookies.

The inside of it was kind of disappointing. Well, maybe it's because I'm not a One Piece or Toriko fan. I think fans would love it though.

They had One Piece coin machine though, which spooled out coins engraved with One Piece characters posing with Hachitama.



On other floors, they have other displays featuring their more popular shows as well as "peeping" windows which the visitors can peep to see their studios and programs being recorded.

We had no idea how to get to Venus Fort, so we decided to go back to our hotel. However, at Shimbashi station, we kind of forgot which platform we were supposed to go to, so the person manning the counter actually pointed the LONG way back (around 3-4 stations more), so we ended at Toei Shinagawa station instead of JR Shinagawa station. (That's something like ending up at Dhoby Ghaut NEL exit instead of the north-south exit.)

We stopped by the supermarket to look at hot drinks since we were precariously low on hot drink packets (something I've never missed drinking in Singapore, because...surprise! surprise! It's hot here. But since the weather was cold at Tokyo, somehow I found myself drinking hot drink).

Back at our hotel, we discovered that since it was Eco Week, the lights at Tokyo tower were then green (actually it looks more of blue).

At this point, I remembered why I stopped bothering about watching TV. I was just plain disinterested in television programmes. It's the same for Japan.

Anyway, another thing I learned...I wasted money on Skype credits! Doesn't really work well on Android :( As of this moment, I still have around US$8 worth of credits left. Bleargh.

Thus 3rd day ended.
