This is my third time, Mark's first time visiting Tokyo. In our two-and-half-day stay in Tokyo, we just rested in the morning, and left the apartment for sight seeing around noon. Hence we didn't see much. In addition, we stopped, sat, and had some snacks whenever we saw a dessert store that we were interested in. Overall it was a trip without any plans.
很喜歡表參道上風格各異別具個性的建築物們。
I really like the buildings on Omotesando. They are full of characteristics.
在表參道附近意外發現一個充滿個性商店或攤販的小區。
An interesting area near Omotesando with lots of small shops or food vendors.
位於淺草寺旁的遊客中心真是太方便了，提供洗手間與外幣兌換服務，最後一天早上來這兒採買記念品，就因日幣不夠在這兒換了兩次錢。觀景台看出去的景色也很棒！
The tourist center locates conveniently right across Senso-ji. It provides currency exchange service and free access to bathrooms. We went there twice to get Japanese Yen for souvenir shopping at the last day. In addition, the view from its observatory deck is wonderful.

Cindy帶我們買龜十的銅鑼燒。外表很不起眼，但一咬下去才發現麵皮非常鬆軟，從不知道銅鑼燒也能這麼好吃！我覺得白豆更勝紅豆一籌！
Cindy introduced us the dorayaki, a dessert sandwich which consists of Azuki red bean paste fillings between two small pancake, from Kameju. It looked just OK to me, but the first bite made me realized how soft and delicious the pancakes were. I never knew that dorayaki can be so tasty! Personally I think white bean paste is better than the traditional red bean paste.
第一次來東京的觀光客不能不來雷門啊！
Kaminarimon is a must see for tourists.
Mister Donut超俏皮可愛的Snoopy甜甜圈！
Very cute Snoopy donut from Mister Donut!
很喜歡從Tokyo City View看夜景。但怎麼拍都拍不好。
I enjoyed the night view from Tokyo City View.
終於吃到朝思暮想的日本拉麵！
Finally I had my favorite Japanese Ramen!
大家一直問我馬克對亞洲的感想。從這麼短暫的拜訪行程裡很難有深度感想。我想飲食上個人口味偏好，他還是有些不習慣。不過以下兩點馬克很喜歡：
1. Cindy家會加熱的木頭地板。我也很喜歡！因為平常最容易腳底冰冷了，這麼一來腳丫子隨時都暖暖地！而且衣服放在地上也是暖暖的喲！
2. 浴室的設計 – 浴室和洗手台之間還有一道門隔著。衣服脫在洗手間後，再走進浴室洗澡。
Everyone kept asking me what Mark thought about Asia. It was difficult to draw in-depth analysis from such a short stay. From what I observed, food and flavors was just OK to him - after all it is highly related to personal preference. However, there were two things that he really likes:
1. The heated wooden floor in Cindy's apartment. I like it a lot as well! I usually get cold feet easily. With the heated floor, my feet weren't cold anymore. In addition, the clothes will be warm as well if I leave them on the floor.
2. The layout of the bathroom. In Japan, shower/bath and toilet rooms are separated. In the shower room, there is another door separating the bath/shower area and the sink. You leave your clothes in the sink room, and then walk into the shower area.
噢對了，馬克還嚐了人生第一口豬舌。
BTW, Mark tried the first bite of pork tongue in his life.
最後，謝謝Cindy不但提供住宿還全程相陪，是最棒的導遊了！
Finally, thanks Cindy for providing accommodation and being such a great tour guide!
