Day One - Tokyo


So, I arrived late yesterday afternoon. The flight was about 20 minutes late since we actually took off from ORD about 45 minutes after we actually pulled away from the gate. The flight itself was uneventful. At least I managed to get my seat changed to Economy Plus (more legroom!). Didn't do to much after getting in but to freshen up a bit. Went out to dinner with my friend. We went to an Indian/Nepalese place calles Lakxmi (sp?) near Meguro Station. The food was pretty good. :-)

Today, we went out to Togo Jinji near Harajuku to check out the flea market. Somehow there were less vendors than when I was there last year. In any case, there were still a fair amount of vendors. The weather was starting to get a little wet. After the fleamarket we headed towards where the Harajuku cosplay folks and goths and the like were hanging out. Didn't explore too far since it started to sprinkle a bit more. Aftewards, grabbed some lunch and then met up with a friend of my buddy. Had more food, then afterwards we swung by Ginza and the Apple Store. :D By then it was showers instead of some sprinkles. :-p Thank goodness for cheap 400 yen umbrellas! Afterwards, we came back to chill and watch some Firefly episodes and Jim Jarmusch movies.
