Golden Week Report
by Roy on May 7, 2006 08:36

Golden Week is a mixed blessing, isn’t it? You try to go anywhere outside of Tokyo and the traffic is insane. You try and go anywhere inside Tokyo and it’s packed with onobori-san. You can’t win. As you may have noticed, I didn’t do much of anything this week and to be honest I’m a little glad to be going back to the office tomorrow. Get back into the rhythm of daily life and all that. Here are some photos taken this week.

This poor little girl was stopped in Ginza and asked to answer some dumb TV Quiz show survey. The question was “Do you believe in the weather report?” The girl didn’t have a clue what “weather report” was supposed to mean and had a hard time answering.

Hahahahaha… I didn’t do crap all either. Wanted to go to Ikea but was told the queue to get in was about 2 hours long! Kinda insane.

The lines at IKEA are insane but it moves pretty fast. I went there last saturday with the monster lines but it only took 10-15 minutes to get in. The first part of the store was very crowded but thinned out later on.

It sometimes takes me 10-15min to wait in line at McDonald’s. Coincidence? I think not.
