Tiny Does Tokyo

As a kid, did you look forward to your birthday so much that when it finally came, you couldn’t quite believe that it has finally arrived? I felt like that being in Tokyo, I had to pinch myself and stop myself from hollering ‘Ohmigod, Im here!’ So for four days, tiny t was ‘doing’ Tokyo- in style. I was so giddy with excitement, the shinkansen ride to the big city was, to steal the Thai Airline’s slogan, as smooth as silk. Anyhow, tourist mode was firmly switched on, so here is what tiny t got up to in the technological capital of the world.

I stayed with Ruth, a fellow Japanese student with George at Sheffield, and we just clicked and got on immediately. Ruth lives in the same apartment block as Lily, who goes to the same university as Ruth in Tokyo so together, they showed me around town. The loveliest people a girl could hope to meet in a city of 12 million people!
