My last day in Tokyo was spent at the John Lennon Musuem. Looking through his life and the way he advocated for peace brings tears to my eyes as I walked into the "Imagine" room where they were showing footages of him making that song. It was one of the most moving museum I have seen. If only our world is a better place now, but the message of peace and love is still a foreign concept to the lives of many.
At night, I went to Ginza and walked around. Our final meal in Tokyo was at the Kirin Cafe in Ginza, where we drank different types of Kirin beer and had a filling Western meal.
It seems that I have been in Japan for longer than these 10-12 days as I felt that I have mastered their complicated transport system. It has been a ritual for me to go to the convenient store in the morning and at night to buy my breakfast and get bottled water for the night. Maybe I have also acquired their style of dress - the last night, I was asked by a Japanese person off the street in Japanese how to get to a specific place. When I talked to them in English, they looked shocked. So the fact that I have been able to submerge with the locals is an achievement in itself.
I have also learnt about my personality which I may write in my next blog.
Now back to Hong Kong for a few more days....

i reckon once you get over the first few days of home sickness/intimidated by a new country, you adjust, learn the culture and understand where your boundaries are, you can pretty much live in the country for an extended period of time (providing you are either rich enough to live there, or work there). Good to see you enjoy yourself in Japan. I shall visit the Ghibli museum one day lol
