Navigating the Tokyo subway 30/9/2010

Hey,
How's everything in Australia? Today it rained. It's a nice change from the dryness. Today I had my first ride on the Tokyo subway. It was really confusing trying to figure out how to find the Sobu line. On top of that it was pouring. We only had the one umbrella and it wasn't big enough for all of us. We ended up asking the ticket person where the platform for the Sobu line was. It turned out that we had passed it about five times. We were pretty much running around for 15 minutes in the rain. We went to the biggest Hyuku (100) Yen (en) store in Tokyo. It had FIVE storeys!! It was soooooo much fun. We were running up and down the stairs looking at everything. then we realised there was a lift. All that running around for nothing. When we had finished at the Hyuku Yen store we decided we should stop and have lunch at a takoyaki (Deep fried octopus) place we passed earlier on. We walk back up Takeshite (Ta-ke-shi-te) street and we couldn't find it. We decide to go home on the train. We went downstairs to the cafeteria and had lunch there. We sat down and started eating when we saw my dad and his host Professor, Yoshiro (Yo-shee-ro). They sat down to eat with us. After lunch we went back to our apartment and relaxed and watched YouTube videos (considering we can't understand the TV here so we watch YouTube) We're going to go back to Takeshite street again when it's not raining now that we know how to get there.

See you later,
Chloe
