Snowing in Tokyo

My first business trip alone in Tokyo, taking the EVA Economy class the first time, the seat is comfortable, the movie selection is enough and the flying experience is better than my expectation, to live a life in simply way is not a problem, and should not be a problem now. landing by 1 pm Tokyo time, the captain on the plan memtioned that it's snow in Tokyo, I am exciting, I havn't see snow for very long time.

The temperature outside is zero, but I am not feeling any cold. take the JR express ( I like the LOGO they design - N'EX ) and trasfere to Tokyo Metro the Red line , Asked 3 stranger when get off the train how to walk to my hotel, yes, I managed to check in by 3 pm , without taking any taxi. this is a v ery local hotel, newly openned, good, although the room is compact ( tiny ) but I feel so comfortable, the checking dest staff hardly can speak English, this is quite OK with me, tried to familiar with the enviroment, memories how to access to place I knew before with public trasportation, taking Half-CHung line to Shubuya - Yes, the exit is connected with HMV, buying new CD of Bob Catley, quiet exciting too.

Finding 2 good local noodle shop, one in the isle of Shinjuku - Tenpuro Soba, the other just 2 block from my hotel, Port White soup Lamen, it opened until 4 am, a great place to hang out till wee.

It snows heavy last night, when walking out the Excele Cafe', snowing falling in my coat, I am so exciting, watching the snow outside the noodle shop, sipping the hot soup and enjoy the strangers' day in Tokyo.
