Day 0 - 11th Nov 2014
My Flight is SQ636 departing Singapore on 11th Nov.
On this day, the previous sector flight (I Believe Indonesia to Singapore) was slightly delay therefore my flight also affected by delay of 1 hr.

SQ636 used to be A330 which is one of my favourite plane, but because of rotation now they are using B777-200~ :eek:

This plane entertainment system is very old which i dislike~

The only thing good about this flight is that it is going to Haneda, Tokyo instead of Narita Airport.
Haneda Airport is inside Tokyo so transportation much faster while Narita actually is in Chiba therefore cost more money and time when going to Tokyo.

Day 1 - 12th Nov 2014
After Landed, I proceed to my Hotel (Metropolitan Marunouchi)

Quite a decent hotel run by JR (Japan Rail) which is the operator of majority of trains in Japan. I will post more picture of the hotel later on.

After leaving my luggage and getting all the train tickets (Shinkansen) at Tokyo Station.

I went to Showa Kinen Park. Showa Kinen Park is located a bit outside of Central Tokyo (Less than 1 hr away).

This Park is especially popular for the ginkgo trees. Also the peak is much earlier than Tokyo.
