Hello Everybody!
We're having a great time in Tokyo, arrived safely on Thursday and made it to Jenni's ok. We were up at 7am Wednesday morning for our flight and finally got to bed at 11pm Thursday night, which was Thurs 2pm UK time - we were shattered!
We spent Thursday wandering around Tokyo centre, getting lost in the station shopping mall and looking for places to sit down as there are no seats anywhere!
Yesterday we went to Akakusa (place with lots of temples) and Akihabara (place with lots of geek shops). The picture of Sensoji is one of the places we saw yesterday. Its the oldest temple in Tokyo, dating back to 628. We almost brought kimono's but managed to resist!
Today we went up Nokogiri-Yama mountain by Cable-car to see more of old Japan and walked over the mountain to see all of the Buddha statues and carvings, two of them were huge and just amazing. We've walked so far! Chris had a near death experience when a hawk tried to steal his lunch and grabbed the bag out of his hand!
We've sampled a lot of Japanese cuisine including sushi, ramen, a red bean ice cream sandwich and lots of rice!
We're going to do some traditional Japanese karaoke tonight! Tomorrow we're going to Harajuku to see the crazy people and the big Kiddieland shop! :)
Jenni and Jamie are being very good hosts and showing us around and taking us to the hotspots!
Can't believe we've only got a couple of days left here before me move on to New Zealand!
Hope everyone is well.
Jenny and Chris x x x
