Hi nerdie, thanks! I did only simple DI, e.g. adjustment of exposure, contrast and saturation. Most photos are composed in-camera, so not much cropping done.
Have a nice and fruitful trip!

[03.04.09] After spending a very tiring but fruitful day at Ueno Park and shifting accomodation from Ginza to Shinjuku, it was best ending the day with a nice authentic Japanese dinner at a traditional local stall before heading back to our hotel for a good rest.

#236. Ramen with thick yummy pork bone soup!

#237. We had the ramen at this small, squeezy corner shop

#238. Another ramen shop inside Kabuki-Cho. This is the only photo taken at the famous (or notorious?) red light district

#239. Our room at Keio Plaza hotel, and the birdeye view of Shinjuku from the panoramic window

[04.04.09] Finally, our 6D5N F&E trip to Tokyo had come to an end. We were very fortunate to see the sakura in its glorious full bloom, Mt Fuji under a clear blue sky, some snow at the beautiful Nikko, awesome 'chingay' parade at Disneyland and most importantly, met up with an old friend at Tokyo! We thoroughly enjoyed this relaxing experience which was a dream-come-true! I think there will be many more return trips to this unique country in the future...

Thanks to all the readers of this thread, especially those who had given me encouraging/constructive comments. Before bidding farewell to the Land of the Rising Sun, here's the last batch of images from the trip! Cheers~

#240. Last glance of Shinjuku

#241. Last capture of the locals' laughter

#242. Last plate of sushi in Tokyo

#243. Last (minute) shopping of Japanese goodies

#244. Last Japan hour before flying back home!

#210. Giant Toro balls

See, in Japan, even hawkers who sell Toro balls bother to make up and look kawaii. We need to learn from them.
