I can't say enough how much fun I am having on this trip! I have seen and experienced so much in less than a week here in Tokyo and it's going by so fast. I don't believe that I leave for China in two days! As usual, we did a lot today. We woke up early to go see a giant fish market, walked to the Imperial Palace, saw the changing of the guards, explored the "Geek District" (video games, hentai, odd Japanese sex shop..) and had plenty of delicious food along the way. Also as per usual I have plenty of commentary about all the sites but unfortunately I do not have enough time to update tonight! We got back around 2 PM (walking only 3 or 4 miles instead of our usual 15) and decided to take it easy for the afternoon because tonight we are finally going out!
Most of the creatures were still moving..
The rest of the group got here today, and although they are jet lagged we are making them go out with us. Here the trains close at 11 PM so either you come home early or you are out at the bars and clubs till 5 AM. Guess which route we are choosing to take?
Hopefully we will get a couple hours of sleep because tomorrow I plan to head to Shibuya, Shinjuku and Harajuku to finally get some hardcore shopping done! I can't wait to buy some Japanese threads (only the reasonably priced ones mom, don't worry) and traipse up and down the busy crosswalks and intersections of these districts. I am not sure if I will have some companionship during my shopping so wish me luck out on the packed streets of Tokyo!
Oh, also if anyone was wondering - I finally found out the name of our German roommate. It's Andreas! He just walked in the room complaining about the Japanese beer. Germans.
