One Night in Tokyo

I was in Tokyo for two days on a regional business meeting last Thursday and Friday. This was my first trip to Tokyo and work aside, it was a fascinating country - it was unfortunate I was not able to stay longer as I thought I had initial difficulties in hotel accomodation. Anyway, the pictures below speaks for itself why I think Tokyo is the city which never sleeps (from my short trip here) :

Pic 1 - 12+ midnight - This picture was taken at 12+ midnight at Shibuya, at the busiest intersection in Tokyo - these people were actually crossing the road at 12-1 midnight - it felt like NY times square at peak hours!

Pic 2 - 1+ midnight - We were visiting around the city which never sleeps - curiously checking out Love Hotel rates and quality - these establishments were actually cheaper than a room! These hotels were very discreet, hardly anyone manning the desk and choices of rooms were lighted up for those which were available... don't worry, we were not up to anything scandalous ...


Pic 3 - 4+ am - Cannot believe we stayed up the whole night from Ginza to Shibuya to Roppongi and finally to this famous Tsukiji fish market at 4+ am in the morning ! Watching fish auction and having a bit of sushi...

Pic 4 - 1+am - The busiest intersection in Shibuya. Crossing the intersection was actually quite scary when you can see the amount of people on the other side who is swarming over...

Pic 5 - 6+ pm - City of vending machines... This one with so many choices of noodles to order then pop inside to collect... apparently a friend tells me food is not the only stuff on a vending machine...
