Today I left Brian to sleep and headed to Ueno (yesterday I wandered around Minami-senju and got lost, lol, but I figured it out.) I bought a few things, enjoyed fresh pineapple on a stick, and got laughed at for taking a picture of massive octopus tentacles soaking in their own blood. I even found a Mr. Dount. :)
Upon heading home, however, my train decided not to move for an hour. Since I can't understand the eki voice anyway, I just kind of sat there and chatted with this impatient old lady, which was kind of funny. When I got back, Brian and I headed for Harajuku to take pictures of the crazy dressed up kids. There were a fair few for late Sunday afternoon. Pictures later. We had dinner at the Japanese/Chinese place, and I failed to correctly identify the pork buns I like. Sucky.
After that, we took the train to Akabanebashi to see Tokyo Tower at night. It was pretty. We went up to the special viewing place waaay up high and I could see the ferris wheel across the city. I liked it. Unfortunately, nothing magical happened like in all the animes and I was not instantly transported to a magical world. Eh, guess you can't have everything.
Tomorrow we leave on our first shinkansen for Hiroshima. It's very exciting!
