Day 2-5

I'm having so much fun that I forgot to blog, that's a good sign, right?  Our first night here we made a group of friends at a restaurant.  They are so friendly and funny; we went to dinner with them, and the younger friend Makito showed us around Tokyo.  They have helped us practice some Japanese and we helped them with their English. 

We had a field assignment to Ueno Park and Ueno Zoo.  The park is beautiful, there are temples where you can pray and meditate, a huge pond full of Lilli pads.  I wasn't a fan of the zoo but only due to personal beliefs. We went to 

We went to Shinjuku, the train station here was the biggest i have seen so far it was almost like a mall, tons of shops, food, and things to see and explore.  We went to Me Tokyo which is 3 floors of claw machines big and small, and a floor to dress up in cos play and take photos.  I spent a lot of time and coins on the claw machines, they were fun!  Then a group of us went to eat and had amazing ramen and the best fried rice I have ever had in my life!

  We went to the metropolitan building in Shibuya which had some awesome views and souvenirs,

also, where the world's busiest crosswalk is which was cool to see, then we went to the Pokémon center where I absolutely geeked out like a little kid lol.  This train station might have actually been the bigger one, it all starts to run together after a few days.  It started to rain heavy, and we got separated from the group and decided to explore the train station and dry off, we had lots of amazing food then made our way back to the hostel.
