Sunday (fog)
We woke up just in time
for breakfast. Again we enjoyed a nice traditional Japanese
meal. It included crab soup, squid sashimi, and a ton of other
stuff, oh, and a piece of salmon. We went to the hot spring again
after breakfast. The thing is they took all my towels that I left in
the room, so I had to do w/o the lil towel..... Dammit,
stop picturing it! After the
refreshing bath, we were taken to the train station. The weather
still hasn't cleared up, so we couldn't see Mt. Fuji =( (and we
specifically got a mountain view room too!!!)
We were quite confused by the
train system. When am I not confused
=P We rode like 3 trains w/o really
knowing why we are transferring. Good thing is we eventually
ended up in Tokyo, and it's a good thing we had JR passes so it was all
free. (Rob rode for free too, the station employees kinda weren't
strict at all) My bro and I both fell asleep after we got back to
the hotel.
That night Rob went to
work (on a Sunday! poor Rob) and Andy went to have dinner with his
friend. That night? I guess I
wrote this a while after the actual day then, lazy me =P My
bro and I were going to check out Odaiba or Joypolis , but the hotel staff
told us they were probably closed I
later visited both places =] So we
decided to go to Shibuya. We at e dinner a t a stone bowl
place. It was pretty interesting, you sorta cook your own food in
the stone bowl (the way you eat a steak on a hot plate) Mine was a
lil too spicy for my taste, but my bro's dish was really
yummy.
Ooh,
I almost forgot, before we went back to our hotel after our hot spring
trip, we already went to Shibuya once for lunch. We ate at a really
popular rotating sushi place. Each person was limited to 30 min of
eating and a minimum of 7 dishes. We had to wait in a really long
line, but the line moved fairly quickly. I ended up eating 15 dishes
(30 sushi!!!) The sushi is ok good cuz I had to eat it pretty
fast. However, it was relaly cheap, each dish was only 100 yen, so I
ended up only spending like $15.
After dinner, my bro and
I walked around some more. We even ate at a McDonald's, (well I
wanted to get a special Japanese burger, I'm not that stupid, ok?)
We played a lot more video games (I'm going to write a special page about
all the games I've seen in Japan at the end) Nah,
I'm not going to do that, cuz I realize they pretty much have all those
games in US now. Plus, I'm lazy and I've forgotten most of the games
I've played since it's now 7 MONTHS after the trip.
Afterwards we headed back home around midnight.
