... amp; the last train so we made some feeble noises about leaving &amp; were promptly told that wasn't acceptable &amp; that we must come clubbing with them - yes clubbing! Taxis here are very very expensive so everyone take the subway, however if it closes at midnight how were we supposed to go home, the answer to that was simple - do as everyone else does &amp; stay out until the subway starts at 5am!!! We were then taken to an alley past all the "love hotels" where suddenly one ...

... se me hizo muy corto, fueron tre horas que entre que conoces un poco a la gente con la que vas y echas una cabezadita ya han pasado. El aeropuerto de Helsinki es como muy Ikea, muy fashion y muy limpio y son todos muy rubios y muy escandinavos ellos. Allí esperamos poco más de una hora, el avión que cogimos para Narita era enorme. En el avión nos dieron la cenita nos pusimos una peli y a dormir. El vuelo de 10 horas a mi no se me hizo largo en absoluto, entre dormir, ver peli, cena ...

... ate a whole piece of tuna sushi and even I forced myself to eat a bit, but I have to admit, sashimi is something that is obviously wasted on me so I passed most of mine to Michael! Next we walked along the street trying to find something for the kids to eat for lunch and luckily found some superbly boxed strawberries. For roughly $6 the 2 boxes were a bargain and each strawberry was perfect - not a ...

... fantastic - I highly recommend it, and I'm not usually a big museum person. Its focus is Japanese art history, with religious articles, statues, tea sets, painted screens, calligraphy, armor, etc. It's a very nice collection, not overwhelming since they select only a few pieces to display, have nice explanations, and some of the best, well-lit displays I've seen. The Ameyoko arcade outside the Ueno station is quite a place - lots of people ...

... fom not sleeping on the plane. So we took a nap once we got home. When we woke up it was almost 8pm and so we decided it was time for dinner. We decided to get an appetizer downstairs which is a part of our hostel because we recieve a free drink everyday at the bar. WHAT A DEAL!!! We then headed to Shibuya which is supposed to be the craziest part of Japan with the streets filled with people. It was definetly crazy. We knew we were getting close because the subway ...

... the Harajuku girls. The price of fame was too much for them and they were lured by the lens over to the teddy boys patch. I imagine regularly that wouldn't make for a pretty site but it seemed a truce had been called and they were dancing together for this one scene that seemed to go on forever. No bloody wonder it takes so long to make a film. Remind me never to become and actor, it looks bloody ...

... behind the shopping center. We took some pictures, but didn't spend a lot of time there, as we will be coming there for a Festival in a couple of weeks. On our way back we grabbed a dessert thing that people were lining up for since we got to the temple. They smelled great (its so hard to find baked goods in Asia) so we bought 10 of them. We were sadly disappointed to find out they were filled with Red Bean (For the last time Red Bean paste is ...

... sexual differences between 'Us' and 'Them', but i can tell you that I found a ton of kinky, and sometimes disturbing, material... A travel guide titled Tokyo Damage Report directed me towards a part of town called Akihabara, aka "Electronics city". Its kind of a hub for budget electronics shopping, but I found a lot more than just digital cameras and stereo equiptment.... In a 6 story mall full of ...
