Day 33 - Kichijoji, Shibuya and Naka-meguro

Just a quick post today, as we have a super early start tomorrow to go camping in Hakone - which also likely means I wont get a chance to post/email for a bit.

Another fun day in Tokyo. Visited Kichijoji a part of Tokyo popular with young people - lots of shopping. We had lunch there are Sharky's, a pizza place they have in the US i think. But the pizza flavours are totally Japanese. Yummy ones included mayonnaise and potatoes, and a dessert pizza with bananas and custard. Very fun. But not as fun as karaoke :)

Helen, Hisashi and I had a private booth for an hour - once we got into it, it was really fun. And I got really really into it once I found out that you get judged when you do it, and then ranked against other people in Japan. Helen and I did a rendition of Rihannas Russian Roulette which was apparently number one in Japan.

After that, some wandering and then a coffee break in Shibuya, followed by a festival in Naka-meguro. This time just watching parades of dancers. Hopefully I get a chance to post a video of it eventually. Quite enjoyable, especially as we lucked out in getting stools to sit on.

And i really should start getting ready for tomorrow. 6am departure, which means getting up by at least 5:30.
