leftovers

a super kute pooh from kiddieland that T bought me. no UFO catcher here.


the OG BFFS outside the okinomiyaki restaurant that we ate at for our 'last dinner' so very delicious.

then we headed to yoyogi park.. to see the park at night.


on the last day we managed to get to the tokyo metropolitan gov't building to see the free views.



i heart you tokyo... thanks for everything!!!!

sakura

we were lucky enough to be in town during peak cherry blossom season in tokyo... it was such a great sight to see.. and especially when the wind would blow.. although they were a lot less pink than i would have imagined..

meiji shrine

spent the last full day doing the tourist thing by visiting meiji shrine and yoyogi park.. a day full of great weather.. and more walking :)

harajuku

harajuku. takeshita dori and omestando street. so much shopping and eating. i liked it.

longest day evar part 2

day 5 continued from tsujiki to the imperial palace... which was sparse.. except for all of the tour groups.. taking the obligatory photos.. of the palace from oh so far away.




we continued on to asakusa.. where i had delicious sakura soft serve.. ONOMONOM.





with much tired feets we were off to akihabara... aka electric town.. aka otakuland.. aka nerdoland.. it was ZOMG SO MANY ROBOTZ.. everywhere.
o and we totally went to a maid cafe. YA RLY.

somehow we ended up in Ginza after... to stare at expensive shopping.. and streets with bars only and no food... we were so srs hungry time.. that we went to shinjuku afterwards for pricey yakitori.. and terrible lotte burgers. and T tried to get everyone else addicted to UFO catchers.

tsujiki fish market

day 5. dru family day + me&T

we started off early so we could get to the Tsujuki Fish Market...
we didn't make it in time for the auction.. but it was quite cool to see... and SO CHEAP.
if only we could have easy access to $8.00 boxes of uni.

springroove/kanamara matsuri

for day 3, we were lucky enough to be in town for Tokyo's springroove their annual hiphoppa music festival.. and it was quite awesome if i do say so myself. we got to see john legend, t pain, akon, tlc and craig david (ya who knew he was still around)




the next day jeannie decided to surprise us by taking us to kanamara matsuri.. the fertility festival.. aka penis festival... which only happens once a year.. and of course we were 'lucky' enough to be in town for this too.
