Paris!!

Last week I went to Paris for a few days with my sister.

We mainly went for the Japan Expo and the Morning Musume concert that was being held there, but we also found time to take in a few of the typical sites. Such as;

Notre Dame! (Probably my favourite place in Paris - I love the all the little restaurants in the side streets around it)

The Eiffel Tower! (Which we could also see from our hotel window despite it being quite far from the centre of Paris)

And La Grande Arche de la Défense, an intriguing cube shaped building from which you get a good view of the city, in particular the Arc de Triomphe. I never even new that this building existed so it was quite fun exploring the futuristic area in which it is located.

Yokohama

Today I went to Yokohama. (To see the morning musume bunkasai but that’s a matter for another blog.

It was good to see the sea again . And these little crabs kept being washed up on the pavement. One boy was collecting them in a plastic bag.

It may have just been me but Yokohama's port area seemed to give off slightly seedy vibe during the daytime.

But at night it vastly improved.

In the end I only visited the Minato Minai area and didn’t get to go to Yokohama’s famous China town but all in all I liked Yokohama a lot. Nice to get away from Tokyo for a little bit too.
