大家好！幾天不見了！因為我去東京了！
No time no see! No new posts for few days because I just traveled Tokyo~
距離上一次的旅行已經是一年前了，因為自己的工作實在太忙，基本上連假都未必可以放……不過，人總是任性的，突然想出走一下，碰巧有朋友去了東京一個月學跳舞，又有在東京工作假期的朋友，就訂了機票，才請假，匆匆起行了！
My last travel was already one year ago. Just because my work is too busy, I may even have no time for day off. But, human is capricious, I suddenly wanted to leave HK, and there were my friends in Tokyo at the period. So I booked the air ticket, and then took the annual leave. Destination – Tokyo!
由於起行是匆匆的起行，我什麼行程都沒有計劃，到了才算吧！其實我一向都不喜歡去景點，這些都是被旅遊業包裝過的地方，失去了真正的本土風情，我反而更嚮往當地真正的生活，真正的人民體驗，希望這次也可以感受到吧！
I have no plan for this journey. It’s my style. I don’t like visit tourist spots. They are all decorated by tourism. I can’t see any local style there. What I want is to feel the people, feel the living of the place. I wish I may get it also this time.
由於台風的關係，我的航班被一再延誤，到達東京羽田機場已經是早上5時了，事前做了關於深夜巴士的準備通通沒用，我開始挑戰東京這個世界上其中一個最複雜的鐵路線。
Because of the typhoon, my flight was delayed and delayed. When I arrive the Tokyo airport, it’s already 5am. So my preparation of the mid-night bus was totally useless. It’s time for me the challenge the Tokyo railway, one of the most complicated railway system in the world.
由於時間太早的關係，就連出名人超多的東京鐵路也只寥寥數人，未能一嘗人夾人的擠擁感覺實在是可惜。不過，才智過人的我，很完美地到達我民宿的目的地，都立家政。都立家政位於中野區，中野區是東京西邊的一個大區，位於新宿以西。中野可能並不聞名，但其實中野區的人口密度是東京第一，可說是東京的庶民新宿，加上這裡沒有太多旅遊的味道，更合我的口味！
Tokyo railway is famous of crowd of people. But seems it’s really too early, there were only few people. That sucks I couldn’t try the feeling of people sticking together in the train! By the way, as a smart guy, I found the way to my hostel. My hostel is at Nakano, west of Shinjuku. Nakano may not be famous as Shinjuku or Shibuya, but it is actually the district with the highest population density in Tokyo. And there is no decoration of tourism, which fit my taste.
走出鐵路站，眼前全是日本漫畫和日劇見到的場面，鐵路橫過馬路，一間間的小屋形成一個小城鎮，行人路和馬路混在一起，偶有女高中生踏單車經過，我想，這才是東京真正的生活，大家可不要被新宿原宿銀座等誤導了。沿路走過，一家家的小商店並排而立，有便利店、居酒屋、拉面店，還有很多汽水機，日本的民居都愛把自己的姓氏門牌掛在門前，讓我想起多啦A夢中大雄生活的小社區。
Going out the train station, what I saw was the scene of Japanese comics and TV movies. The rail crossing the road, small buildings stand one by one, pavement and road mixing together, and sometime a female high school students biking across. I believe, this is the real living of Tokyo.
到達民宿已是早上8時半，與民宿的朋友會合，我們到便利店進食我在東京的第一餐。不得不說日本人的服務態度真的很好，很仔細，但他們總是說日文，我由英文句子，再只說單字，他們都是回覆我一大堆日文，到底是他們英文真的不好？還是在他們眼中，說日文才能表現日本人真正的服務體驗？
It was 8am when I arrive the hostel. After meeting up with my friend in the hostel, we went to a convenient store and enjoyed my first meal in Tokyo. I need to day the service of Japanese is really good, and in detail. But they always speak Japanese. I tried to speak English sentence, and then single word, and they still replied me in Japanese. I didn’t know if they are really bad in English, or they think speaking Japanese is the only real service of Japanese.
飯後，我回民宿睡覺去，醒後已是下午，我們走到了中野區的中心，中野站。我想說，中野真的是男人的天堂，男人的寶藏！好喇，想歪的朋友請到歌舞技町，由於日本很多漫畫家都住在中野附近，這裡慢慢演變成動漫迷其中一個的集中營，我們先進入中野的Sun Mall，一條窄窄的路，兩旁盡是各式商店、餐廳，然後走了Nakano Broadway，再上二樓，Oh No! 太偉大了！這裡盡是各式動漫的漫畫、Figure、模型、玩具！如何能不讓男人們感到興奮？除此以外，還有很多的遊戲店和二手唱片店，加上影音店等，我想每個男人都能在這裡找到至愛！
After breakfast, I got a nap and woke up in the afternoon. We went to the Nakano Station, Center of Nakano. It is the paradise of men, treasure of men. As many comic writers live in Nakano, Nakano becomes one of the base of comic fans. We went into the Sun Mall, a narrow path with different type of shops around. Then we went into the Nakano Broadway. Oh No! Marvelous! I saw comics, figures, toys, models all around! And there were games and 2nd hand CD. I think all men can find something he loves here!
逛了一回，肚子都餓了，我們從商場轉到右邊的小巷，小巷裡全是美食，各式各樣的餐廳，而且價錢比涉谷那些地方都便宜！我們去了一家居酒屋，東京的居酒屋都很有趣，它們的放題不是食物的放題，而是酒的放題，聽說東京人由於工作壓力很大，下班後都不願回家，寧願在居酒屋喝到晚上才趕最後一班鐵路回家，所以造成這種酒的放題。另外還有一樣有趣的是，東京的街頭是不能抽煙，大家只能到指定的吸煙區吸煙，但東京的餐廳卻大多都能抽煙，卻與其他地方相反。居酒屋吃的是魚生、炸物，不得不說這裡的三文魚生真的好好吃！還有馬肉刺身，我還是第一次吃馬肉，也是很好吃，不一會，桌上的東西已給我們全清理掉。
After shopping, we left the mall and went to a small lane. It is the lane of restaurants, all kinds of Japanese restaurants. And the price was much cheaper than those in Shinjuku. We went into an izakaya, which is a type of informal Japanese gastropub. It was great!
馬肉刺身！ Horse Meat Sashimi!
酒過幾巡，已是六時半了，天已全黑。晚上的中野又是另一番光景，大多數的餐廳都營業了，霓虹燈光下的中野帶來一點熱鬧、一點浪漫，夾雜著幾家夜總會，有種醉生夢死的感覺。我在日本工作假期的朋友也過來了，於是我們再到另一家叫鳥貴族的餐廳再來一頓！這頓飯由7時吃到11時，吃得不亦樂乎。
After meal and beer, it was already 6:30pm and dark. Nakano at night was another picture. All restaurants were opening. The light brought Nakano a kind of lively, a kind of romance. Another friend came and we started our 2nd meal from 7pm to 11pm. Really full!
我的朋友們 My Friends
踏上回家的路，晚上12時的鐵路站卻是人頭湧湧，旁邊盡是充滿酒氣的迷失者，只見對面月台有人跳軌，幸好最後都爬回月台，我突感東京盡是迷失。
Going back to hostel, there were still a lot of people on the railway platform at 12am. Around me were many half-drunk people where were lost. There was a man jumping to the rail, and luckily, he climbed back to the platform finally. I felt Tokyo was lost.
可能受到他們的感染，我決定以數罐朝日生啤，迎來我在東京的第一個晚上，醉迷於這小小的民宿角落。
May be influenced by them, I bought a few cans of Asahi Beer to finish my first night in Tokyo, with alcohol and lost.
最後，也為大家製作了小視頻，希望大家欣賞 :)
