Laurence

Hey there! I'm Laurence, I'm a programmer and the voice behind "thethriftescape". I guess you're here to know a bit about me, huh? I'm not good at talking about myself, but will give it a try. Aside from chocolates/sweets I love travelling. If you've read some of my blog, I always have it or buy some chocolates when I travel. I started travelling when I had my first solo backpacking trip. From there on, I started making my travel blog. But not really promoting it. And just share it to few people who wanted to travel or do solo backpacking too. Now, I have my own blog that I can share it with everyone! I like travelling, but don't want to spend too much (yup! thrifty traveller here :P) So when I go for a trip, I always make sure to do it on a budget, as much as possible. And to attain this, I search a lot. I know, there are some people like me, who wants to travel the world on a budget. Or just looking for some itineraries for a certain city/country. So to pay it forward, I share my blog about my travel experiences with itineraries, tips and budgets. Let’s connect! and Tavel More! Say hello to me at [email protected]

Where to go in Japan for Six Days: Tokyo Travel – II

Due to bad weather, we did not pursue our plan to Mt. Fuji, because the locals said, that we won’t be able to see it, if it’s foggy ? We checked out in our hostel, but we leave our luggage, so we can still stroll (even if it’s raining hard outside!)

We arrived at Shinjuku at 7am, we need to ride trains from Shinjuku station to Asakusabashi (I think we changed line twice). We bought One Day Economy Pass ticket for Tokyo Metro Subway and Toei Line. It’s worth it, especially for us, who sometimes ride the wrong train. ?

We bought are plane tickets thru Cebu Pacific promo, for ₱5,000 round trip! ? I’ve been to Japan last 2012, so we had an easy time on planning our itinerary, besides, they also wanted to see the tourist spots that I’ve been to.

Sensoji Temple I woke up, 7:00 am in the morning and decided to take a shower later. We wanted to see the temple with few people. And it’s close to the hostel. I wanted to try the fortune (I don’t know what’s it called)

I arrived at Tokyo Station, exactly 7:30 am. It was so cold. I was shivering while walking from the bus stop to Tokyo Station. I need to know where’s the Ginza line is. But I can’t think, … so I asked someone in the station.
