I came to Japan expecting Tokyo to cost me a BAZZILION dollars, but so far so good! Since we don't have oodles of time here, we are mainly just trying to check out lots of areas, which has proved tres inexpensive. Its like once we are done walking around an area and looking at everything, the day is already over!
Today we found a great contemporary art museum though which had some really really cool video pieces in it. Also discovered how AMAZING the photo-booths in all of the arcades are. You go in, pick some crazy theme or background, take about 6 photos. THEN, you go into another booth, pick three of the 6 photos, and have like 5 minutes to decorate them, add backgrounds, change you eye color - you know, the normal stuff that every photo should have. They also make your skin look FLAWLESS, and add stuff to your eyes so they look massive. Hilarious.
On another note- it is so hard being a vegetarian here! Everything has meat, and if it doesn't, it almost certainly has fish. Actually correction - it is hard to eat HEALTHY and be a vegetarian here. The chocolate bars, popcorn, rice chips, ice cream, and lattes are all good and veggie friendly, but defs not part of a balanced diet.
I guess I'll work on that part once I get back to my life where I can cook food (I think the thing I am most excited about when I get back, next to seeing people, is cooking and baking... yummers).
Alright, our time in Tokyo is almost over, only four sleeps to go! Tomorrow will be SO good though, as we are going to Harijuku to take in all the cos-play kids, and oh-so-famous Harijuku girls, who all parade around on Harijuku street every Sunday. I will also be taking in the Harijuku thrift store. Yes folks, I might just find some new duds. I am sure they will be MUCH more normal than what I'm used to... you can see why I'm excited.
