I'd rather be in Tokyo...
On Friday, Jeni, Mike, Caleb and I went down to Tokyo for a weekend of walking and sightseeing. We went to see Bright Eyes at the Liquidroom in Ebisu on Friday night--it was a very good show! We had to hand our cameras over, and I watched a Japanese guy get mad at a girl lining up a picture on her cell phone. I wonder if Conor is opposed to photography.
On Saturday we went to Ueno and enjoyed the park and chocolate croissants. We then met Simone's friend Yohsuke to wander to the Imperial Palace, and we shuffled around the busy temple at Asakusa with Yohsuke's friend, Kayako. Later we were entertained by magic-doing ninjas at the Ninja restaurant, and enjoyed a drink at an English-style pub in Ebisu. Sunday was spent shopping and wandering around Harajuku. It was great to get away for a few days...and take in the coolness of Tokyo.
