I promised a few more details and pics of my Japan trip… so here goes!

Before I left Mumbai, I consulted with a friend who lives in Tokyo for what to do in my ONE free day… His advice was:

• Airport to hotel only long enough to check-in and dump bags
• Head straight to Tsukiji – Fish Market – noting that while I would miss the really active early morning, even the outer edge is remarkable
• Walk to the Hamarikyu Gardens and have the maccha green tea
• Take a boat from there to the Asakusa Kannon temple
• Catch the subway back to the Hotel
• Nap (he’s done enough overnight Tokyo – Mumbai trips to know!)
• Go to the Robo Bar for the evening’s entertainment

It sounded ambitious but amusing.

And the reality? Far from the recommendations! (more…)
