Tokyo Bus Tour

The first of my retropspective blog posts. This took place around mid october. The university organized a free bus trip around Tokyo for us. It was with a proper japanese tour company so we had a little yellow flag to follow and an annoying women giving us constant commentary and asking questions such as what is the flower of country.

The first thing we did was a boat trip from asakusa down to a park near Toyko Tower.

We boarded right next to the Golden Poo!




After working through the park we got back on the bus and went for a buffet lunch at a fancy restaurant.


We then went to a factory which made products ranging from make up to bottled green tea. They gave us free green tea and shanpoo. It was pretty good shanpoo too. One of the funniest things about this part was the looks on the guys faces in the beauty products room where you could test the condition of your hair and skin amoung other things.


We ended the trip back in Asakusa where we had some time to walk around look at the shops and temples although this wasn't very interesting for me since I had been there before. And have since been back several times.
