To continue from where Leecher left off, we headed over to Ginza (銀座) for shopping!
No no, we didn't take the Metro & walked from Tsukiji Fish Market.
The famous Wako building with the now-iconic Hattori Clock Tower. The building and clock tower were originally built by Kinataro Hattori, founder of Seiko.
Can't wait to start my day in Ginza!
Leecher was feeling upset as he couldn't get his morning cup of caffeine, as we were there at 8.30am! Well, we forgot that we were up pretty early for the fish market and didn't realise that it was that early when we reached Ginza. Most of the stores opened at 9.30am during weekends. Thus, we had to loiter on the streets for 1hr while my poor ears suffered from Leecher's constant rumblings.
As we roamed the streets, we came across this sight ~ hmm.....what's going on?
Long queue before the store is open? According to the dummy's guide, this meant that we have to join in the queue!
Baumkuchen, known as the "King of Cakes", is a kind of layered cake known in many countries throughout Europe. When cut, the cake reveals the characteristic golden rings that give its the German name, Baumkuchen, which literally translate to "Tree Cake". To get the ring effect, a thin layer of batter is brushed evenly onto a spit and allowed to bake until golden, after which, the process is repeated.
Love the Fancl white Xmas tree! So pretty & princessy :)
Shopping loots! I was busy emptying the products on the shelves into my basket(s). There are actually more bags, but I don't have the energy to lift it up for picture taking, so make do with just one.
9 packages of Fancl Cleansing Oil, which translates to 18 bottles. Leecher was amazed at how much I can buy. Well, the packaging looks so enticing!
What's a trip to Ginza without visiting Burberry?
My big shopping bag as compared to.

Leecher's small bag. LOL
Lesson learnt - the shopping bag increases proportionately to the amount spent in the shop. So want a bigger bag, buy more!
