Losing myself in Shinjuku

Shinjuku is one of the busiest stations in Tokyo. Some people said it’s actually the centre of Tokyo. Handling more than two million passengers each day, Shinjuku Station is Japan's busiest railway station, served by six railway companies and about a dozen railway and subway lines, including the JR Yamanote Line.’quoted from here


Yup. It is that busy. When you're in that train station, you feel like everyone is rushing to someplace. They walk so fast, till you feel like you are slow-jogging if you want to keep up with them.. :p


I actually takes about half an hour(or slow jog should i say) out of the train station...since i didnt know where I'm going, i just keep on chanting 'i just want to see the sky'...and when i finally did...i felt such a relief....the train is actually underground...and you can feel pretty claustrophobic...especially with the crowds....


Here are some pictures….most of the pictures are not mine though… ;)



the streets....here....the pedestrian walk are as busy as the road ...the zebra-line is as large as 2 lane road...like this



...where else can you find such a large zebra crossing....?



...and more pics inside the train station....

so crowded right? but no pushing okay....and people just mind their own bussiness...they either chat with their partner...or play with their cool handphones...or read magazinez/novel/comics....or sleep!

The Japanese can sleep almost every where and any position...standing or sitting....trust me...they can even sleep while waiting for their experiment to be completed( tok kmk pun labmate la...tauk2 nya dah tido kat sbelah ya...isk).....its not really sleep la....take a nap perhaps?



....do notice how they que up before they enter the train...and how they give way for people to exit the train first before they enter.....how convinient for everyone!


and yup...the girl in white shirt and blue skirt is a school girl...you won't believe how short they 'lipat' their school uniform skirt....so short you can see their colourful panties when they are sitting *emoticon terbeliak mata*....haha...but they are still some nerdy/proper/respectful school girl who wear their school uniform as its should be.....the skirt is actually below-the-knee length.....



p/s: i do love it here....i'm as homesick as i can be...and it is worse now because my sisters are all home and i just miss them so badly.... but i'm fine....i'm in Japan...how cant i be fine? :p
