Konichiwa
Hi everyone,
We’ve had an amazing time with Aimee and Eugene here in Tokyo. This
place is incredible… so vastly different from home yet there are
still many similarities (just on a larger scale). I am exhausted from
a very long and exciting day at Disneyland yesterday and my feet feel
like concrete but other than those minor side effects I’m on top of
the world. We have had 7 busy days in Japan, two of them in Kyoto
visiting hidden temples and shrines in the middle of the city and
walking the gorgeous traditional cobbled streets with cute shops.
Tokyo has more people than I could ever comprehend. From rush hour
commuting to weekend arvo shopping and you are bumping shoulders with
1,000’s. Friday night we went out for dinner and drinks for Eugene’s
birthday with 20+ of their friends and had a great night out. We’ve
visited many shopping districts, gone up to view the city from the top
of the More building, went to the fish markets, Disneyland, had lots
of scrumming food and visited many shrines and temples. We’ve really
enjoyed the Engrish, trying to communicate with the language barriers
and the technology and gimiky shops and of course, spending time with
Aims and Eug.
We’re off to China tomorrow - write again soon.
