K a r a o k e
I just have to summarize the past two days.
- Wednesday we were in Shibuya, another Tokyo prefecture. First thing we see is a little staue of a dog and lots of japanese people posing next to it. It was appearantly a dog that for 20 years followed its owner to the train station and then waited for him to come back. When the owner died, the dog went to the station and kept waiting for its owner to return.
We then had breakfast at a Starbucks there, I had blueberry scone and tea and it was very ordinary. Then we went through an entire shopping mall just for girls, Shibuya 109, but I just bought some necklaces. The sizes are REALLy small here so shopping clothes is pretty hard.
We had dinner at a real, albeit fast food, sushi place, where the sushi came on tiny plates on a treadmill. It was very nice but as they were short on vegetarian dishes I had seaweed soup and cooked salmon sushi. I will put up pictures of this later cause you'll definitely wanna see it.
Then we went looking for an infamous bar street nearby our hotel: Golden Gai. We curiously and anxiously looked aroundat the low houses and decided on a place that explicitly said they welcome tourists. We had one great mojito each in that cozy place before rushing on to our next appointment.
The hotel lobby helped us get a room reserved at a big karaoke place. It was great! We sat there for 2,5 hours singing and drinking cocktails and eating honeytoast, which is a very interesting concept. It's like half a loaf of really white bread, then you spray cream on it and place fruit and honey on top. Again, I will put up pictures, possibly later tonight.
After leaving the karaoke place in high spirits we went back to the cozy bar in Golden Gai with the mindset on staying for an hour or so. But then we met some other people there, an american and his japanese friend and we didn't leave until much later.
- Thursday meant going to Akihabara, a part of town known for their game arcades, vending machines and electonic shops. Indeed, the signs in the subway indicated "Electric Town Exit". We had breakfast there at a tiny café where you ordered and paid by pushing buttons and a machine (preferred paying method was the subway card, very useful!).
After spending some time in the arcade I felt I was done, so I had some more tea at the café. I hoped for veggie burger for lunch, but we had lunch plans at a maid café. Which I will tell you about later....
I gotta run, I'm off to a prison themed restaurant..!
