... wonder why it wasn't entirely closed off, and how often that officer has to push confused westerners back to the main trail.<br><br>The gardens were pretty as I said, and had a few points of interest. One fun thing is that there were large walls all throughout the garden as it was the place of the former palace I believe. There was also the ruins of a guard tower, which was impressive even in ruin form. These ruins were nearby a music hall which Kat became ...

... retail shops!), walked the entire grounds (some parts twice!), took many, many pictures and tried some food. We were also lucky to catch the parade with many of the Disney characters, lots of dancers, brightly dressed cast members and some very beautiful floats. It is a very clean, spacious park, so our wait times were minimal and paths were not overcrowded. Whoo Hoo! Speaking of food, for lunch today, I tried a shrimp cutlet ...

... Tokyo makes New York city look, feel and behave like a baby. If you don't believe me, then come h**e for yourself J. In t**ms of she** magnitude and div**sity, Manhattan is amazing, but so is Tokyo. The Japanese people h**ein tokyo are the coolest lot we've seen, and its just really exciting to be h**e, make friends spontaneously as we've been doing (they're sup** humble, friendly and helpful). The Hirajaku district was so much fun to be in, because of all these cool stores ...

... didn't want to wander out in the cold too much. We decided to go to a local restaurant near to the station and try the local food... hhmmm note to foreigners eating in Tokyo... do not eat at restaurants where there's no plastic food (they have plastic food outside showing what the dishes look like so you can point to the one you want - and you get exactly the same as the plastic version- only edible!) and don't eat where there's no English menu or photos of ...

... graves of 47 Samurai. It was an interesting place with an interesting story behind it, there was also a little museum showing various artefacts from the period, telling the story along the way. When I was done there I headed back to the Subway and made for the Yebisu Garden Palace which, amongst other things, is home to the Yebisu Beer Museum. Unfortunately for me, it appears a great deal of museums are closed on Mondays! I wasn't too bothered though...was ...

... in Kiriyu." A: "Oh?? When??" M: "Oh, within the last 5 years." A: *frowning* "Not.... Stuart?" M: *JAW DROPS* *Starts laughing* How cool is that? How random is that? LOL Cracked me up as well. It was nice to pull an all nighter again, I always have fun when I do that in Japan. Was great to see Mike again. He's one of the few I've actually kept in regular contact with.. and makes me actually want to pull my socks up in keeping touch with other people.

... to watch - but I had just as much doing it too! Momo later said that I looked so happy while I was doing it - and it's true! I really enjoyed myself. I think that all Eastern forms of ritual and art and practice are really amazing. There are many parts of aikido that remind me of yoga, especially certain aspects of balance and placement, breathing and awareness. I think that all of these Eastern arts offer a valuable insight into the human bodies ...

... millions of residents and visitors. My memories of the city will simply be added to what had already collected in my mind. Memories of the noodle shop, the rainy walk and the view from the tower give me a personal connection and balance what I see presented by media and pop culture. Now the city feels real, less fanciful. But the character of Tokyo remains illusive and ever-changing for me. My view is just as crowded, confused and beautiful as the city itself.

... of flowers and art work. Right in front of the temple is a huge incense burner where the smoke will cleanse you and reportedly helps cure ailments. We both wash off in the smoke. From here we walk west about 10 minutes to Kappabashi Dori, Tokyo's district for wholesale restaurant supplies. There are about 8 blocks of shops on both sides of the street selling pottery, plates, chairs, appliances etc. etc. We are happy to see the stores selling the plastic models of food ...
