Do you want to go, Want to go to Tokyo?
After a two and a half hour bullet train to Tokyo at 6:30 AM, we arrived in TOKYO! Since the Imperial Palace was near the station, we just made our way over and looked at the Emperor’s pad. Then we made our way to the Sony building, which is basically like a giant Best Buy, if you ask me. We headed over to the Shinjuku district, where their version of Times Square is. Basically it’s the big signs, flashing lights, and lots of stores kind of area. We walked around. Found a petstore with the cutest little baby animals. All while trying to find a hotel for the night. Finally we got frustrated and decided to eat at a little hole in the wall. Had some pretty amazing potstickers. By this point, if my adventures with chopsticks was a movie I’d be at the end, where they zoom out with me proudly holding them semi-correctly, scooping up my potstickers without dropping a bite with end credits beginning. Can’t say SAS wasn’t for nothing! Haha… joke! Then we decided we would figure everything out after we bought baseball tickets. You heard me! We headed over to the Tokyo Dome where we bought tickets for the Giants versus Swallows baseball game. To kill the time until the game we went to the fashion district- Harajuku. We spent an hour roaming the packed streets and cheap, adorable shops. We made our way back to the baseball game where we sat behind home plate in the nose bleed area along with half of SAS. After the game we had some time to kill so we went to a 24 hour Denny’s and took our dear sweet time ordering. After Denny’s we made our way to another overnight cafĂ©, this one far more sketch. This one was a small room, with the lights brightly shining, and men sleeping in chairs. We got a little private booth and crammed four of us in the little padded area.
