Let's Rock it Hard in Tokyo!!!

You must be wondering since I travel quite often, do I collect stuff? Or junk?

In this blog I will share with you for the first time after 20 entries about my favorite collectible whenever I visited a city that has it... Hard Rock City Tee

BTW, some of my close friends may get one occasionally when I feel like giving it as souvenir. So, depend how close are you to me ... :P

So a little bit about how I come about developing this expensive hobby. I actually got hooked when I was on business trip to Beijing in 2001 Dec. My first city-tee is actually black in colour and it is from Beijing Hard Rock Cafe. In fact, it is the only one in black among my other collection. I intend to share with you my collection as time goes on. Of course, I don't mean to brag about it ... but really just my intention to show you the design of a particular city so that you can decide whether to get it before you visit there. If you are already a keen collector, welcome to the club. Make sure you got the All Priority Card. :) For those not yet, make sure you are not those who get it from Petaling Street. ;) Shame shame ...if you did.
Let's start with Tokyo City Tee, my recently added collection. I got it from Hard Rock Cafe in Roppongi. Hard Rock Cafe is along Gaien Higashi-dori that leads to Tokyo Tower. In fact, Tokyo City Tee is the best I ever collected. Why? The awesome Japanese warrior with katana on its belt holding an electric guitar awaiting to rock n roll all night long. Secondly, the high roaring waves with Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge behind the waves signifying the waves with rock-n-roll with you tonight. Happening it is. Clearly, together with the former two symbolic design, the big yellow sun with red background are genuine Japanese's icons.

Hi Chee Bing,
