Ginza-scapade

My boss, Yoshizu-san(right), and Inoue-san had toured me around Ginza. It was just a short trek but it was cool. We left at the office around 6pm and arrived there thirty minutes after. Ginza is, undoubtingly, a beautiful place at night. Like a woman elegantly wearing all the 60-pound make-up with her expensive jewelries to cover her weary face exposed from a dull summer day. Ginza 4chome is lined up with branded products. From Gucci to Burberry, from Bulgari to Salvatore Ferragamo, you name it. I can't even touch those products because of its soaring prices that only the locals could buy. Well I just bought something from there, from an omiyagi store of course.
After that we went for a sushi feast. My favorite. The only thing I dont like eating sushi is that it makes me packed up right away. Maybe because of the gohan with it. But the raw toppings; oni, ebi, and the raw fresh fish meats were great and tasty. And its healthy huh.
After that we went to the Emperial Palace, just by the park of course. It was around 9pm so I gave the rest to my imagination on what it would look like on daytime. The Emperor's place is magnificent. Imagine having a backyard thrice as big as the Plaza Independencia in Cebu. Beside having a home as a castle, the Emperor had a street that leads directly to the Tokyo Station entrance for His Excellency's private use. While Emperial guards and escorts roam around, great walls protect His Excellency from the world outside. If material things is all that it takes to make one happy, then the Emperor could be one of the happiest person in the world. Surely I enjoyed the evening. Thank you boss Yoshizu-san, and Inoue-san.
