Tokyo, Japan

I knew Tokyo would be amazing and it really hasn't disappointed. Although expensive, we were sort of prepared for that and nothing is taking away the shine.


On Saturday morning we stayed in Ginza, it turns out our hotel is just two blocks from all the retail action. We walked up the main drag; Ginza Street and had a spaghetti lunch in the food hall at the Matsuzakaya department store. Then it was onto the Hakuhinkan toystore - 8 floors. We then headed out on the subway to Harajuku to see if we could spot some girls dressed up (or the 'crazy people' as Liam calls them). We weren't disappointed. We also got some stickers from a band called Man With A Mission who wear wolf heads (at all times, it seems). Then it was back to the massive Apple store to score some free wi-fi and play with their macs.


On Sunday, we went to the Imperial Palace gardens, Cliff and Liam were going for a run (Cliff 15km, Liam 5km). There was some kind of running event sponsored by Disney on which was just finishing as we arrived. We also saw some huge carp in the moat.
