Tokyo

Okinawa and Tokyo could not be more dissimilar. I have been loving the smell of autumn, crisp air, and bright city lights. No really, the streets are lined with TV screens and there is music for everything from getting on the train to ordering Ramen.

I met up with my friends Alex and Mackenzie (also NU peeps) on Thursday and have since been making small tracks across this enormous city. From where we are staying in the busy neighborhood of Shibuya, to the older city and temple filled park of Ueno -we have ascended Tokyo tower, wandered through Tsukiji fish market, and got lost and wound up in Akihabara - a neighborhood filled with arcades and anime.

Headed to Mt. Fuji and then kyoto tomorrow!
