Day 3: Asakusa & Harajuku


On Saturday night, we checked out Club Camelot at Shibuya and boy was it packed. Not only that, as smoking is still allowed in Jap Clubs, the place was smoked out. What was cool at Club Camelot was that instead of giving you drink coupons, they give out gold coins that you can use to exchange for drinks. They also use plastic cups for their drinks and their menus are on computer screens that you can see even in the dark, coolz. The hip hop music at Club Camelot is not unlike that of Phuture which was okie for us. On Sunday we visited Asakusa and Harajuku which were both crowded with people. But Woon told me he still likes Shinjuku better than Harajuku. I agree as Harajuku caters more to the younger and trendier crowd.

Shacked and ready to head home

We thought that the cab fare back would be very ex but turned out to be less that S$30.

Asakusa

You have to pass by a row of shops to reach the temple

Lots of shops around the temple area

Luckily it was covered as it was a hot day

Happy to finally reach the temple

Lots of people

For good luck

You are supposed to wet your lips and wash your face with the water

We tried to follow what the others were doing

Instructions in Jap

5 yen coin...

...that we are supposed to throw into the donation box for good luck

Shaking a tin of bamboo sticks to have our fortunes told

Lots of boxes containing fortunes

Tie them up after reading

Woon's fortune

Everyone wants to know their fortune

Check out the crowd

Mineral water shaped like a lantern
