04 June 2008

The country-side part of our holiday was over as we headed out from Mt. Fuji visitor center towards Odaiba (お台場), a large artificial island in Tokyo Bay. But before that, a pit stop by the road gave us some time to have some ice-cream.

I guess these are sweets in a tin can




Ice-cream with erm... glutinous rice skin




Another piece of green tea ice-cream for the overkill


A glimpse of Tokyo tower. We have arrived


As per morning, the sky is completely overcast with clouds


Heading across the Rainbow Bridge


The waterfront skyline of Tokyo Bay from the bridge on the bus



We have arrived, there are two malls here, the Island mall that is mostly shopping and the Seaside mall that is more for eating and snacks



Our lunch today was be some cheap buffet, a stark contrast to what we have been having the days before


This level is themed with a 70s style kind of look


A horror house with lots of screaming school children inside


The meat in these are so thick, unlike the Southern Chinese styled ones, that they actually look scary...


These are extra big too!


What's with the size of everything here! Whatever happened to small and cute?!


Candy galore!


The Rainbow Bridge, it is illuminated with multiple colours at night


An indoor amusement center by SEGA


Ho, it's here too


The ``Muscle Park" where you engage yourself in sporting related games


Some students trying to roll a ball across a series of obstacles with bubbly commentator included


Some baseball kind of game


Upstairs was a Hong Kong themed level. I was surprised to see a brand from Singapore in a Hong Kong theme, perhaps it is for advertising purposes


Panorama of the Rainbow Bridge

I was getting really bored with this place. Fortunately, it was time to leave. Unfortunately we were headed to yet another shopping centre, Venus Fort, before we will arrive at Sensō-ji, a famous Buddhist temple in Asakusa.
