So today was my first day in Japan,
The flight was pretty good. Very Smooth, Finnair is reasonable. As and added bonus the entertainment selection was so good that I had to treat myself like a child about going to sleep, AND there was no one sitting next to me! Also they served cold green tea as a refreshment. In fact since I've been here I've had more green tea than I've had in the best few months (health boost anyone??) and I've just been really happy and upbeat and amazingly just going and going and going.
Today I saw Ginza, Shibuya and Asakusa. I feel like it was great to do some quick skimming and discover a few things. I actually found an awesome little gallery in Ginza where the artist happened to be present and got a pic with him. Unfortunately we didn't really get to talk though. I got his contact info and will post about what I saw at the exhibition soon.
It was awesome to see all of the stores I've ever heard of crammed into one place. But not fun like, Yay! this is so cool kind of fun. That was Asakusa:
Oh yeah! I plan on going back tomorrow, to revist the temple and dig a little deeper, can't wait! I was starting to get a little dissapointed with all these shopping centers to be honest!
In other news, I'm staying with a wonderful family, they are taking great care of me and I am still feeling happy and lucky, and totally ready for bed!
Thanks for reading!
