A Day in Tokyo2017/07/01

rainy day

A no-shopping, no-fancy food day (a very unlikely way for me to spend a day in Tokyo).

 

1.     Visit a fork museum

edifice of fork craft

 

2.     Then peep into a former daimyo’s house and get dumfounded at the disparity in the old days (although we are now living in a horrible world, it is a different story)

unequal society...

wood but last long


viva feudalism

no inheritance tax


3.     Go to a literature museum

 

Drop in at a café in the museum to enjoy a coffee (named Ogai, after a Meiji-era novelist) and a sense of  intelligence.
academic coffee

 

Take a train to go to next place (and get lost at Shibuya)

 

4.     Enjoy some sandwiches with a view

my long-time dream

Drop in at possibly one of the biggest bookstores in Japan

 

5.     Explore an old school building and have a tea there.

Duration: Around 6 hours (including the time for loitering around getting lost)

 

Expenditure:

·        entrance fees (1,800 yen in total),

·        coffee (700yen),

·        a light meal(980yen)

·        and transportation (which is actually the biggest spending of the day. It could  feed us for 3 days at least.)

 

Souvenir of the Day:

Raisin bun. 140JPY (torn in half in picture)

cursed bun? or alienated?

The black bits are neither insects nor aliens (‘ eggs). The raisin are concentrated in the centre of the bun, not scattered in the dough. It feels heavy. Actually, so heavy that even my sweet-toothed husband could not eat it up at once.
