Everything seems to be interesting in Tokyo, if not Japan. Even the products sold at the station kiosks. Most probably due to the packaging and presentation.

Back in Shinjuku, looking for somewhere to eat. The downside of Tokyo is that most of the eateries are always full and queueing is required. It does get a little frustrating and tiring sometimes when you’ve had a long day and all you want is to find a place to sit down and have a quick meal.
DSC_0931

Spotted McDonalds. Nothing can be easier and quicker, right?
DSC_0932

Wrong. Long queue and usually out of empty seats means waiting required. And there is actually a smoking section in the McDonalds in Japan, which doesn’t help and isn’t pleasant for non-smokers.
DSC_0933

Had to settle for Wendy’s instead.
DSC_0934

A late night meal purchased from the convenience store. This is sometimes the solution when there are queues and no empty seats. They can even heat the food up for customers. This is the definition of customer service. Tarako spaghetti tasted quite good actually.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 (page 1)

(10 January 2009)

Coincidently, the annual Tokyo Auto Salon event was on while we were in Tokyo. An opportunity not to be missed. We knew from noticing a poster in Lawson’s where tickets can be pre-purchased. We took the JR Sobu Line (or was it Keiyo?) from Shinjuku and got off at Kaihin Makuhari Station, which is after the Disneyland Maihama Station.

This was what we saw…

QR code is commonly used in Japan. Don’t remember seeing this strange looking code on my last trip and have never seen this in Melbourne. I guess this differentiates the technologically advanced nations from the nots.

The expo is huge. There are East section, Centre section, West section and on top of that there are the outdoor drift demo and export section.
