![]() I went to Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Twin Observatories. I rode the elevator to the top. There, I could have a 360 degree view of Tokyo. I really wanted to come here last year but it was not open then. This place is free and should be a must come place when visiting Shinjuku. My arrival in Tokyo also seemed to have coincided with a coming typhoon. Very gloomy, is it not? |
![]() | The typhoon has brought with it plenty of rain. It was really raining very hard. As soon as I exited the Twin Observatories, I was drenched. Luckily one of my friends gave me an umbrella. Without it I would have been wet my entire stay in Japan! |

My friend Tadashi came from Chiba right after work to visit me. I had a
very tough time trying to meet him in Shinjuku station because it is too
big! We went to Shibuya and shopped around. I wanted to get a New
Balance shoe because they don't sell the good types in America. Plus they
look very good. We rested in McDonalds, drinking ice coffee. I also went
to Sakuraya because I remember there was a very cheap model shop on the
top floor. There I bought a Kenshiro (Hokuto
no Ken) toy, which reads "Anata wa mo shindeiru!" I don't plan to open to
box though! I had tonkatsu for dinner. I must thank Tadashi for paying
the bill. I also bought some manga, GON, which is about a small powerful
dinosaur. We later went to Ueno and used print club. This is the Ginza Line at Ueno Station. |

I ate okonomiyaki at Naoko's house. in Mejiro It was delicious. I also
had a chance to fry it myself. Chris was showing everyone some photos of
the Kinki Kids that he took! I should really thank Kosei for bringing his B&W Polaroid camera to Naoko's house. However I won't because there is a reason to why I am smiling big. Look at Kosei's fingers! Front: Kumiko, Kayo, I Back: Tomoko, Chris, Naoko, Kosei |
