Trip Down Memory Lane @ Hikawadai

ok, i felt like its time to go down memory lane. i took a train back to where i used to stay as a student. it is hikawadai in nerima city. somehow i like the area where i was as it was very quiet, peaceful and good neighbourhood. the trip back really brought back a lot of memories, good and back. i was pleasantly surprised when the owner of the small supermarket actually recognised me and greeted me. my, it has been 6 years since i left that place.had a good chat with him and his daughter. bought something small from him as a token. then i just walked around a bit. a few shops had closed down since. but the air, atmosphere etc were the same...except for my apt. whatever happened to my cool apartment. the landlord actually painted the building with some cheap industrial green paint.yucks. (pls see pics). i was wondering how many person had occupied my room since i moved out...i was the first person to occupy the room after they renovated the place.
must be a guy occupying my room now. my room was small and cosy...i wished i could enter my room again..
the shopping street ...

the river. i had to walk along this river for a long 15 min everyday in the past before i reached my train station. this river really brought back a lot of memories...my my my..

Tsukiji @ Tokyo







Accompanied Huizheng and Xiangqi (my high school friends) to Tsukiji for a sushi/sashimi brunch on Sat. We were supposed to be up early so that we could be at Tsukiji early, for the freshest sushi/sashimi. Alas, we managed to get up only at 9 plus and arrived at 10am. By the time were there, it was already 10.30am. And the crowd was already there. We queued up at 3 different restaurants before ending up at this restaurant as it had a relatively shorter queue. The restaurants in the "inner market" are so small but serves better sushi/sashimi (Note: There are many restaurants in Tsukiji esp in the "outer market" as well but I doubt they taste as good.) It was worth the wait. The "Uni Mori Hokkaidon" (1,600 yen) was fantastic, and mind you, this wasn't the "most popular" restaurant that morning (judging by the queue)...
For the true taste of sashimi/sushi, pls visit Tsukiji. Here are some of the pics taken:
