First full day in Tokyo. Slept in, had a leisurely breakfast and them ambled out to harajaku. A cute shopping district - the Takeshita dori was a sight. Shops and lane ways drenched in princess pink ware - everything from socks, to hair accessories and everything in between. Thankfully It wasn't Sunday - am told girls dress up as their favorite manga/anime characters and pose for pictures on Sundays. That's called cosplays - girls waiting to be discovered into fame and stardom.
Anyways onwards to yoyogi park - an urban tranquil retreat in the middle of Tokyo. An historic shrine - its uniqueness was brought on by all the drums of sake that were donated by people over the ages ;). I wonder if there will be a party someday to drink it all - I wouldn't want to miss it!
Onward to shinjuku - which is kinda like the Times Square of Tokyo. Met up with corina over some prosecco - we had so much to catch up on. Time flew by. Onward to exploring the city by night. Tokyo was lit up with neon lights - towers , sky rises , the works. Stepped into a sushi place - surprisingly my first in Japan after all this while, and enjoyed a scrumptious meal of vegetarian sushi.
Onward to the Tokyo metropolitan building - a stunning structure of two buildings whose observatory on the 45th floor providing an amazing 360 degree view of the city by night. Ended the evening by strolling through roppongi hills - the nightlife district of Tokyo. Absorbed it all in my heart and in my blood by taking in a deep breath and headed back to K's for a restful night.
