Sawasdee kah, Evelyne,
I hope you had a lovely time in Hong Kong, and are now ready to explore Tokyo. I cannot help youw with markets there, but I'm sure someone else will.

I'm so glad to hear that you will put Boston on your calendar for October! I'll see you there!

Carol

The Japanese equivalent of patpong is Ameyoko market right in front of the JR Ueno station. You can bargain there but not as cheap as patpong, lol

sorry misread your question, Ameyoko is more of a day market.

By patpong at night do you mean a red light district? If so the Kabuki cho district in Shinjuku is that place in Tokyo

Day market is fine, did not want red light district type just shopping type, just want to go with my husband at night because he is unfortunately working during the day.
Thanks a lot for the info hawaiintraveler.

Are you in the city now? Would you be up for a GTG of some sort on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon around 3pm? I would suggest a hotel lobby bar, somewhere along the sukhumvit line. There are many hotels along this skytrain route, between On Nut and Nana, where I am located.

Looks like May 3, 3:00pm at Sheraton Grand Sukhumvit, located at Asok BTS station. I will take a look there today and select a lobby bar and post here.

Disregard above post. Sheraton bar was not open when I went in there a short time ago. Look for alternate plan B, posted on a couple of other threads.
