Eight Days In Tokyo: Day Four

Yo people! Here is your long awaited update of day 4 on the japan trip :D:D

And yeah, group C would like to thank the teachers for coming out with this japan trip. We enjoyed it a lot mans!
Headed down to the Imperial Palace in the morning. It was kind of warm even though it was in the morning. We could only view the imperial palace from the outside as there were guards guarding the place.We saw the Nijubashi bridge outside the palace which is one of the most well known bridges in Japan. The pathway to the palace were covered with rocks and pebbles which was commonly used in the past to track if there were any assassins coming by hearing the sounds made by the movement made.

Nijubashi bridge also known as the Double bridge outside Imperial Palace

Chinatown
The place where we bought our bentos :D:DChinatown had many different types of food such as buns. The buildings are special and it looks like we are in some sight of China in the past. There are many school students there too :D:D

Yamashita Park
Nice and lovely place to relax your minds.
Good place to enjoy your bentos and even sketch out the beautiful scenery.
Most of us had our bentos under a tree!! :D:D

Experiencing the Bento culture at Yamashita Park

we were supposed to sketch the coast of yamashita park but due to the time constrain, we only ate our bentos.

Yokohama Senior High School of International Studies

The school also known as Y.I.S for short is located in Yokohama and has about more than 300 students. Everyday students would have to climb up the slope to reach the school and comments heard from the principal was that students do not complain even if they were tired which shows how much they love their school(:

The school campus was quite big and they have friendly students too! In their school, student would also participate in activities such as the band, cheerleading and more. We were showed around the school and even got a chance to interact with the students. It was really a great time there.

Gotemba outlet

Many shops such as Nike and addidas could be found there and one day might not even be enough for some to complete shopping. The place is most recommended to shop for sport apparels such as sport shoes. The prices that you could find here are even cheaper or even half of the price that you could find in Singapore!
