To Tokyo! Hakone Ekiden?!?

Cycled into Tokyo today... Last leg! Successed! Total distance 37.29km!

My "room" for the previous night...

Breakfast... Carbo loading...

Somehow... The route I was cycling on is the same as the route of the Hakone-Ekiden... The Hakone-Ekiden is the biggest University sporting event of Japan! So 1 whole lane was closed... And I cycled on the closed lane...

People many many... Pretend they are cheering for me... =X

Eventually the runners caught up with me... Huh? So I stopped and joined the crowd to cheer them on!

Tokyo proper!
Ah Tong asked me to go "Leiman!" so I went... Damn crowded...

Damn crowded... In the main prayer halls... People don't drop coins into the box... They throw it from 10m out... I was hitted by a few... If I squat down and pick up money from the floor... I would be rich...

More bbq-ed meat on stick...

Raman... Again...

Miso-pork and rice... My second dinner... Eat halfway then remembered to take photo...

Threw away my well-wore no.4 pants... Sides all torn from cycling... Hehe... Thank you SAF!

Now lodging in K's House Tokyo... Nice little place with an international mix of residents...
