Last Full Day of This Tokyo Run.

Our annoying roommates finally left. These girls were younger and a good level of irritating. They were asking both me and Grace if we were from America, where from, what are we doing, how many days are we here. I usually don't mind chit chat with people but they were like attacking us with the questions when we weren't even trying to make conversation. Unfortunately the day they leave we had to change rooms anyway. At least our last night we have a room to ourselves.

Our excursion today included the Ikebukuro district but there was a change in plans. We started the morning off going back to Shibuya and making a return for me at Tower Records because it turned out it was a dvd and thats not what I wanted. So then we went back to the Disney store real quick to check on something then we headed to, you guessed it, our morning Starbucks. Then it was off to Shinjuku district. There we were visiting the Government building

Metropolitan Government Building


The Ride to the 43rd Floor, our ears popped.


Sky high...



Look what we found at the Gov. Building!


On the way back to main Shinjuku area - its called the Cocoon building


The main entrance to Kabukichō - the red light district of Shinjuku ;P


Go for the gold...get it champions continue...


Something we did find interesting (a bit sad because of the small housing) but it was a pet shop.


My Manga Girls: I finally found what I was looking for. I still need to get one other because I know they will probably never publish it but we'll see. If I can't find it here of all places...Now that I have done searching it isn't as easy to get the things that I want, it has been a lot of looking high and low for stores and their entrances, what floor they are one and how to get to it. I haven't made it easy I am sure. I have been going into so many music and book stores trying to getting people to search for my little pieces of gold.

Lots of wandering again today. We didn't even make it to Ikebukuro, but I don't think we will miss it. We have done a lot I think. So I have to go pack and all that jazz. So gonna cut it short. I hope everyone is doing well in work/school/life. Love to all!

One more thing KIM - look what I have been drinking!

If truth be told I would be the first person to make comments if I was actually making comments. I told them on Sunday that I can always tell that they are not awake yet since there are no comments listed when I read the blog. I think I like email better
for my comments.

Lisa: Americans yes, most annoying people over here are. They were like we are from Arizona...it only rains like 1 day a year there. We did not care...shut beep up and go back to Arizona!
