Tokyo

Finally we set off for our last stop, which was Tokyo! We got there around 10am and found our really nice posh hotel. We weren't able to check in that early so we left our luggage and took our money and camera and set off to explore. First stop was Shibuya, where the worlds biggest and most busy pederstrian crossing is. I must say I thought it was going to be a bit bigger... But it was better when we came back in the afternoon!

We had lunch at Starbucks overlooking the crossing, and then we took the underground to Shinjuku where we went looking for "alternative" people, you know the ones with lots of make-up, red hair and lolita clothes. But we didn't find any :( Our guide said they were probably taking the day off because there was a big sports arrangement or something nearby. We did find a couple of really cute little girls in kimomos!

Then it was shopping time! First destination was Akihabara, or Electric Town as it's also known. It was crazy! Huge shops everywhere with everything you could imagine of iPods, cameras, telephones etc. I was looking for a new lens for my camera and I found a really good and cheap one. Then Astrid and I went back to Shibuya where we shopped till we dropped (we did actually drop onto our beds first thing when we got back to the hotel!). I ended up with a lens, two everyday dresses (from H&M actually...), Adidas shoes, two pairs of earrings, a very cute white fluffy hat, and lots of other stuff.

Then we all dressed up and went out for a last sushi-meal, karaoke and party! Great night! Not so great flight the next day.
