Some basic rundowns. I've decided that I'll post pictors. Yay pictors.
Woke up at 6:30ish. I slept extremely well! I'm surprised.
Breakfast at hotel. It was pretty awesome; all you can eat, nice food, etc
Well, their eggs were a little sketchy, but that's okay. Miso soup for breakfast ftw. Ate a big breakfast to make up for smaller portions at lunch and dinner.
(Our bus was yellow. I took a lot of bus pictures.)
First place we visited was the Imperial palace area. It's not open to the public, so yeah. We just took pictures of the guard towers and stuff like that. Not that exciting.
(bona-fide Japanese hobo!)
After that, we went to another shrine! This time it was a Buddhist shrine. It was pretty busy, since it was right in the middle of Tokyo (Asakusa neighborhood). We walked around a bit, and saw some pretty awesome shrines. We also ate lunch there; I had this delicious bowl of Udon. Awesome udon. Like, amazingly amazing. I love udon.
A dude at the shrine doing squats because his dog was doing squats, if you know what I mean
EGG UDON. ¥700! DELICIOUS!I also got a moyashimon keychain at one of those toy vending machines with the capsules. IT'S SO ADORABLE AND SQUISHY.
Also, Hawk, do you still want a bag? I saw some nice ones here.
After the Buddhist shrine was the Shinto shrine, which was a lot quieter and more deserted looking since it was the middle of the day. It was in the middle of a freaking forest. In the middle of Tokyo. What?
(kegs of French wine in the middle of the forest to the Shinto temple)
NEXT we went to Harajuku! I was so excited! I really wanted to see Harajuku because it's awesome, except it was raining while we were there, so I didn't get to see as many strangely dressed people as I would have liked. I'll go back when the weather gets better.
BUT I did find a store selling anime goods, so I bought more Moyashimon merchandise and a Gurren Lagann action figure (that was almost half the price as it was at Fanime). Pretty awesome.
Socks with pandas for toes at a store in Harajuku!
After Harajuku, we went back to the hotel and I practiced bassoon. Kind of. Dinner was an interesting affair of convenience store sushi, melon bread, and pudding. Not bad, I must say, and it cost less than lunch.
Tomorrow we have a concert (blaaaaaaah) and we get to learn flower arranging. yey. hooray.
Pictures taken: 272
Money spent on meals: ¥1380
Quail out.
PS: Don't you love how I didn't actually post any pictures of the landmarks?
