Business Trip to Tokyo this Time - Part 2

Work was ok and bcos I slept, I survived very well. Soon, it was lunch time and a colleague asked if I wanted lunch. The usual lunch in Tokyo is bento and there is a supermarket right across the street.

So many choices! 



What I got. Nom nom.


By the time I left the office, the sun had set. 

It was cold but a nice walk and I had time to observe my surroundings. I saw Hardtock near the hotel! Though I had no intention to visit. 

Then I realised that the Tokyo tower is right ahead of me. So pretty. Again, no intention to visit.

I went back to the hotel to offload and put on my tights before heading to Donki. I didn’t have anything in particular to buy but it is too wasted to miss Donki when it was that near. This Donki didn’t have bento and cooked food like what we have in Singapore. I bought snacks, intending to bring back to Singapore and then went to the Family Mart next door to tabao dinner. Maybe it is unhealthy but convenient food from Japan convenience stores are the best.

My dinner.. very nice. Hohoho. 


What I got from Donki. 

I started snacking on them. Not sure if there would be any left to bring home. Hohoho. 

Sleep was easy in the big bed. I woke up a few times but sleep was still good. Then, the alarm rang at 6am, I thought I snoozed it but it didn’t ring anymore and I was late for gym, waking up only at 6.45am. 

The hotel has a small gym. There was one other person sharing the gym with me. 
Unfortunately, it didn’t have the elliptical machine that I like and ended up with 5km on the treadmill instead.

Then, I had bfast and ordered some charcoal omelette this time. It tasted like… omelette. Lol. 
I have already decided that I would have the Japanese traditional bfast the next morning bcos I saw somebody had that and it looked good.

My ootd as I headed to office. Same jacket, same stocking and same cardigan underneath. I can’t even tell what I actually wore to office. 
As I walked to the office, I am wondering if I am eating too much and was contemplating if I should skip bfast the next day. Then I remembered that I wanted to try that Japanese bfast. Cannot skip. Lol.

It was a super busy day bcos many of the employees were in the office. I was so busy such that I didn’t even have time for lunch. Just nice, save some calories. By the time I found time, it was already 5pm, I couldn’t wait until dinner and went to the Family Mart for a triangle rice. Triangle rice in Japan just taste nicer. Haha.

It was drizzling when I left the office at about 7pm. I had been contemplating to get a new jacket from Uniqlo. Why? Bcos I always travel light and bcos it is so cold, I kept wearing the same cardigan and jacket and it looked like I didn’t change. Lol. I eventually bought a jacket and bcos of the lower exchange rate, I think it should be cheaper than in Singapore. 

On the way back to the hotel, I bought dinner. 


I had been craving for that katsu sandwich! I had the same instant corn soup 3x during my trip. Hoho. 

With a full tummy, I headed out to Donki again bcos it is again too wasted not to. This time, I bought a lot more, especially cosmetic and related stuff. By the time I as back to the hotel, it was already 10pm. My loot! 
Directly tax free bcos I spent more than JPY5,000. Not sure if that is a good thing. 

Again, sleep was easy. 
Good night!
