Greg + Tokyo !!

Day one in Tokyo:

Sightseeing in Asakusa at Sensoji Temple and seeing the Asahi Victory Flame, which looks waaaay too much like a Golden Poop.







And then navigating up for a drink overlooking the city and to Shinjuku for a green tea Starbucks coffee.






And out on the town that evening:






The next day we met up with Anna, an ALT who came about 3 months ago [just after the quake- kudos!] whom we know from Knoxville. We met up in Harajuku for lunch and shopping.

Lunch was okinomiyaki, a very difficult mix of veggies and meat that is cooked like a pancake. We failed at the first, but the second turned out pretty good!







That night we went to [sorry all you meat haters out there] the whale restaurant in Shibuya. Its famous, its not common and it was, frankly, delicious.






Post kujira-ya, we headed over to Lock-Up for some insane asylum/Jail inspired drinks:


We made it juuuuust in time for the show:






The next day, Greg was leaving. We got him all saddled up and then said goodbye.





See you in August! :D
