woke up so early. like about 630!!! ended up going out at about 9 and getting a traditonal breafast in a cafe with our room mate carl. a 32 year old chef from canada. hes pretty safe and knew a bit more about the food we were eating! for breakfast we had noodles with fried cabbage or something>!>! no idea. crazy. only 300 yen which is about... 3 pounds? a little bit less. who knows. then headed off for shinjuku where there are loads of high rise buildings. Went into some crazy shops and saw soem crazy phones and cameras. I noticed that they are all really long and thin. any way then we decided we wanted to get up to the top of some sky scrapers so we went up to the 45th floor of one and it turned out to be an art gallery. didnt appreciate the art but saw van goghs sunflowers. was pretty cool! saw some cool views out of a window but then went up the government buildings and got panoramic views of all around. we were supposed to be able to see mt fuji but it was too hazy. damn pollution! for lunch we had some fried food. charlie and our mate carl had some deep fried pork while i had massive deep fried prawns. we got tea, rice and some cabbage or somethingwith it. pretty damn tasty tbh! next we headed off to shibuya and walked through a park to this temple, (the name has escaped me) very old but then some fo thbe buildings had glass doors?!?! kinda ruined the style but still cool to see. then went home to the hostel and grabbed some sleep. we headed out in the evening to check out shinjuku at night the lights were crazy and everywhere! but ended up walking round these strip clubs and being haslted by people to come to their discos. we bailed. then went to a traditional japanese place to eat which was down some back alley. it had the wierdest menu including tongue, meat from head, intestines and gizzrds.... i went for some noodles and im pretty sure it was intestines. yummy. twas actually quite nice if you didnt thingk about it!!! when we left the subway was closed so we walked around and ended up getting train through the city and when we got to the right stationt he sub way was open which was very confusing. its about 1:20 here right now and this keyboard is in japanese so very confusing. ill try and keep writing what im doing. free internet so making the most of it!! see you later
