Big long day. I left the house at like 9 am and I got back just before midnight. There's so much that I've seen that I really cannot even begin to try. I went into Tokyo with some friends. We first went to an Art Deco house that was completely stunning and perfect (except for the cool art exhibit that was going on, because they put these panels to display the pictures and that blocked the view of the design of the house). It's now the venue for the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, it was built as Prince Asaka's house. I just figured out upon returning home that it's right near where Christopher lives. From there we decided to walk and we found a place to get some food. It used to be an old house, now it's this funky little place with some cool Japanese cuisine that looks very LA/West Coast. We then walked some more and saw a tonne of random city sights (nothing famous or worth noting, just a whole lot of city) and some serious designer shops. We came upon this one building up off a main drag and it turns out that they were just setting up an art exhibit, complete with a Japanese woman who does traditional Thai dancing. She was practicing and the two men were mounting pictures. They told us to come it and we got a free and exclusive show of traditional Thai dancing. We then met up with a former receptionist of the school who is now working a few blocks from where we were in Shibuya. We went for dinner at this traditional Japanese restaurant and had some very good food and shochu and laughed and then we came home. So this may not seem like much, but we figured that from after lunch to the time we stopped walking in Shibuya it was like 5 hours straight, of just walking with no purpose and finding all sorts of randomness.
My feet hurt.
