asakusa.浅草

asakusa revisited!  we stayed in the proximity of asakusa two years ago and today i am glad that i stop by again, it's just so close to kapabashi anyway.

the street leading to senjo-ji (浅草寺) is still ever crowded and bustling with aroma of senbei (rice crackers).
the asakusa kaminarimon (浅草雷門) is still the most photographed spot
i remember i took the same photo at the  same spot. what has changed then? well, the hundred yen shop is no longer around, the location for the supermarket is still there but with a different name.
 
and the most significant change is the tokyo sky tree. it was definitely not there two years ago...
well, that's a little account of last weekend.

today, i went to the ward office or minato city hall to apply for my alien resident permit.
the application was swift, but i have to come back to collect my sort of  id card in a week's time.  at the end of the application, the officer gave me a welcome package with all the information about minato-ward.

it's late now, so much for now, time to sleep.
