Pics finally up!

served me my latte first, and it was pretty darn good. The pasta was good too, but the portion was on the small side. The view could've been better.

Hotel in backgrounda department store, but I've decided I really hate not being able to buy stuff I like. So, I pretty much ran through the place. There was sooooooo much cool clothing -- that were really expensive though (which, for me is 100 bucks for a pair of jeans, or 50 bucks for a belt, or 400 bucks for a sports jacket). But yea, the fashion really is really nice.

We then walked to Yoyogi Park, where the site of the 1964 (?) OLYMPICS were held. There are a lot of PERFORMERS along the sidewalks and paths here, and a number of them are pretty good. There is a MEIJI SHRINE located in this vicinity, which we visited as well. Our "tour" was pretty quick, as there was no guide to give us little tidbits of information... our feet hurt a lot after all that walking, and we basically go to some "interesting" place to look at for a few minutes, take a picture, then leave. After the shrine, we finished at around 3:30PM. I was expecting us to be done at 4. Pretty good guestimation.

Tisa was an awesome companion. But, I can't wait to come back with the French guys and Finally -- a pic of me up!spend more time people-watching! Tomorrow I start the 2-week "Survival Japanese" course. Next stop is Roppongi on Tuesday night -- I'm going to try to organize a large (as in, 80% of the IES kids perhaps) group to karaoke that night. I don't know what the room limit is, but I figure 2 rooms will be fine. One room to sing, and one room to sleep. Then we can catch the morning train on Wednesday, to get ready to go on the IES tour of Tokyo at about noon. [Trains usually stop running at 1AM, so if you want to spend the night out late, you have fun all night until the first train at 5AM -- you can sleep at the 24-hour Denny's or nap at a sort-of PC Cafe that has cubicles, among other options].

I'm going to study some key phrases and get some sleep for tomorrow. I think tomorrow's entry will be pics of Makuhari, where my school is, and pics of my walk home. Sweet dreams.
