Tokyo - Day 1

Where to begin... woke up two hours earlier than planned -_-;; (damnèd jetlag grr) but we still ended up leaving the house an hour later than we'd said last night.. anywho... first thing... bus to Hibarigaoka station, and then took the train to Shibuya. First impression of the city: wow... wow... wow... impressive... hard to describe... (-_- just see the photos).

Then we went to Sensô -ji (temple)... Apparently I'm going to have bad fortune (I hope it stays tied to the bars though... i t worked like this: I shook a stick out of closed can-like thing... the stick has the number of a drawer on it: then you take your fortune from the drawer. There are several types - I can't remember how many... only that I seemed to be destined to bad fortune. Therefore, so as it prevent it from "following me", I tied it to some bars at the temple... but not before taking a picture- more on this in Nikko chapter) After my struggle with fate we walked around senso-ji and Mana bought these lamp-like plant thingies (see the red thing she's holding in one of the pictures) We had lunch around the temple area (i had sushi; a type that's served with the "toppings" all together over rice in a bowl... I'll look for the name at some point...)

After lunch we took the metro toyeah... I'm tired... really tired... and tomorrow we're going (overnight trip) to Nikko... I'll finish the post and put pictures up when we get back!!!
