Tokyo Time

 Valentines' day is a big event in Japan...for some reasons... i think the japanese are turning everything into special event so that people will just spend spend spend... so, i was in Tokyo last week for business....i think feb is one of the best seasons to go because:

• It is cold but not that cold (well...at least to me because of my tolerance level of coldness.... very different from other people);
• it is the season for strawberries
• valentines' day! The whole atmosphere felt like Xmas. The mall are full of decoration and you would see many people rushing to buy gift. The most popular gift for valentines' day is, of coz, CHOCOLATE... hhmmm...i wonder why people are giving chocolate as gift because most people are diet concious... then after i strolled around, I understand why... the chocolates are irresistible! They come in any shapes and form, any flavors, any colors you can think of! Sake Chocolate is my favourite...unfortunately, i have to buy it myself lo T_T

Then the chocolate i saw at the hotel looks adorable...i wanna give it a bite! i think they missed out of putting a Love Angel somewhere around the chocolate~

But what i loved most is their FRESH red, juicy strawberries! i was given a small piece in the supermarket and straight away, i took a box. After one box, I became addicted to them...the moment you put one in your mouth, the juice splashed out and it was sssooooOOOOOooooo sweet! The Japanese people are really lucky. they have so many good stuff in the country. *Envious*

Then i saw this in a shop.... WHITE STRAWBERRIES! wow...looks like white chocolate coated strawberries to me... i wonder how it taste...but USD 52 for 9 of them... nah, i think i will pass~ 

my conclusion is: Japanese are very good at Marketing. they can come up with anything to induce people to spend. one time i saw a group of foreigners buying JPY100K grapes from Ginza. Apparently they were curious about the taste so they bought it.... well, for me, luckily im not that curious or i would go bankrupt in Japan. hahaha
