Miki d'Japan 2 - Part Four (final): Tokyo2 & Yokohama

From Kyoto I took myself and my backpack to the nightbus for Tokyo. The cheapest way, by far, 5300yen=33eur for 21h-6h ride. Even if it is in a strange coffin-like coach with closed windows, feels strange, indeed, if you are claustrophobic I do not reccomend it!

Good morning Tokyo!

THEY are here, already! Andrzej says it is Turkish one, and gathers all the muslims from Tokyo. Interesting, Turkish religious activity??!!

Student dormitory in one of campuses, here I visited friend and tried the student standard of Japan. Well, in fact here are the cheapest apartments for stuff, not really student dormitory. However, it is rather obscure place, not at all above the european level, rather below. But if it means paying for it few ten thousands, rather than hundred thousands of yen, then it is good, one has the place for sleeping. Accomodation is very expensive in Tokyo.

So, after I left my backpack, we went for Yokohama, and had a nice day walking around.
Here you will see my selection of new architecture. Three towers in the new area,

It is all made on the newly made land of former Yokohama Harbour. Once it was the largest in the world. Here are the red-brick buidings from that times, now full of restaurants and bars.

Most of Japanese emmigrants left Japan for USA from here. This was the first ship doing it:

People come in nearby park to rest-pleasant place, spacious, with view to the sea. The one who lies down on the grass really enjoys his rest ;-)

It is a factory of newness!

But, when you go a bit inside you see some older things

We went to Chinatown, it is rather touristic one, chance for japanese and westerners to see a bit of chinese world.

Next day I went for Narita Airport, yes, poor japanese boys. Although Andrzej said he read somewhere Japanese sexual activity, compared to other nations, is quite low...maybe, having all the time such sauch pieces around, they had to develop some self-protective methods...zen, maybe? ;-)

Girls go to school-but there are also hard working people of Tokyo.

As you saw for yourself, in this trip I mixed everything. It was quite instructive trip. I hope also for you who followed me here.
