Return to my Wishlist!

Okay so before I left I made a list of things I wanted to do while I was here in Tokyo, here it is again. Tomorrow is my last day so I am revisiting it to prioritize my day tomorrow, and to update ya'll on what I've done:
  • Wake up in a comfortable high rise apartment, walk over to the window and see Tokyo at my feet. (nope but don't care, I went to a club on the 13th floor of a building, that was enough for me!)
  • Catch a ride in a Fancy sports car, and get a driving tour like that. (nope, but I did get a lot of rides from the trainstation and back!)
  • Drive a moped through Tokyo (nope, no excuse, I forgot about it? I don't mind)
  • Drink Boba tea (I know it is korean, but it reminds me of Tokyo)  (I will tomorrow)
  • Eat Tempura and lots of other stuff.   Yeah! I did this at a Traditional Japanese Restaurant, which is next on the list, and oh yes, I did eat LOTS of other stuff! Yum!
  • Eat at a traditional Japanese restaurant.  Delicious, pictures later...

Reaching out for resources!

So, I've been doing research and couchsurfing apps and trying to decide exactly what kind of trip I want to have. I've been mentally prioritizing and just going through shock waves that I am actually going. It's amazing! 

Tomorrow is a regular work day but today I spent time going through Japans top ten and discovered some awesome Japanese music, and one especially awesome lady Crystal Kay Check out her video! I wanna interview her!

  • Catch a ride in a Fancy sports car, and get a driving tour like that.

  • Drink Boba tea (I know it is korean, but it reminds me of Tokyo) 
  • Eat Tempura and lots of other stuff. 
  • Eat at a traditional Japanese restaurant. 
  • See a Kabuki play 
  • Eat at a Japanese Steakhouse 
  • Drink Sake 
  • Do karaoke
  • Get drunk 
  • Meet Haruki Murakami 
  • Check out artists places in Tokyo (maybe even visit a studio) 
  • Get on the radio in Tokyo
