| Eating more buns for breakfast |
Miss Pinky was finally ready, so we headed in the opposite direction from the business area from the hotel… Basically we headed to the right side (instead of the left). It’s actually quite beautiful on this end. Very quiet and hardly any men in black.
On your way you will also see a 100 yen (~£0.63) store (but don’t forget about the additional taxes). So if you need to find some quick and easy gifts then this is the place to go to from Smile Hotel.

From here we found a bus stop. It really isn’t that hard to understand, you just need to know where the bus is going and what time it will be coming. You should probably jot down a few places in kanji although the bus LED signs inside the bus will tell you in English (just like in London ). It’s 210 yen (~£1.32) for adults and 110 yen (~£0.69) for children… cheap!!
We ended up in Tsukiji, so we took another bus heading towards Tokyo Big Site. I think we missed the stop and ended up at the last stop. But we saw a big massive monument in which I have no idea what it’s supposed to be.
We took the same bus back heading towards Tokyo Station. A lot of men in black seemed to be heading home. Lucky workers who finished at 3!

Back in Shimbashi Station…
And now Tokyo Station…
We took the Oedo Line heading towards Roppongi Hills.
Then Miss Pinky noticed that we could see Tokyo Tower from there! Wow! So beautiful at night!
Miss Pinky didn’t expect her cheesecake to be so different. It’s very different to the Westernized version.

My pumpkin cheesecake didn’t taste too cheesy but it was quite hard and solid looking but it tasted really good! The ice coffee needed more syrup…

I think Komoro Soba is a branch store as I saw many of these stores around Tokyo.

Quite astounded that they had a “standing table” for the busy people to eat their noodles and go.
But thankfully I got a seat…
My tempura prawns may look big but actually they are quite small it’s just the batter that made them look big! The soup was sour and sweetish ad the noodles were just perfect. I think I would like to try cold soba next time… ^_^
This was less than 500 yen (~£3.00)… so bloody cheap!!

Whilst in Pronto, Miss Pinky decided she needed Western food to keep her happy,.. although the food was good, Miss Pinky the service was still terrible… When we ordered the bill (by saying bill) they gave us beer instead… Say “check” instead, they understand that!
I had a pear cocktail… it was ok,but needed a bit more sugar sweetness in there.
