Short blog as the last one was so long! So today I had the plan of going to the Imperial Palace East Garden then going onto Meguro's Parasite Museum. Didn't work out that way... Today the sun was out in full force! Yay! It was shining the whole day. Which is why my plan didn't work. I got to the Gardens by around 11, I had bought myself a rice bundle for lunch so I didn't have to worry about lunch. I took a leisurely walk through the old gardens. Plum and che...

So I missed blogging yesterday, reason being is that it was a non-stop day! So I left the hostel around 9:30. Got back at 6, then left around 8 to go for some drinks at Shinjuku and got back around 12! Now, you may be asking, what did you do for all that time you were out? Well! I shall tell!

The garden was next to the market but it was a totally diff...

On the way back though, needed more help and a friendly guy sorted my ticket after I pressed the wrong one, and showed my to the right train. The Ginza Line that goes to the hostel I have pretty much down now though. The museum was very cool slightly odd shaped building covered ...

First day! Dear Japan, why did the old Japanese man almost slap me in the face with a pufferfish? And what was he shouting about? Senso-ji day! Kept everything easy today. Went out with a friend from the hostel which was nice. Tried to find a post office with him. Failed. So we went off to Senso-Ji temple. That place is huge. I was given a fortune, saying that something I've left behind will be completed in the end, then I will be successful. No idea. But it'...
