On Wednesday we had a lazy day at home. We did a bit of shopping but that was the extent of our exploration. We played a game of Killer Bunnies, which is a card game. We played it in record time, 2 hours (it usually takes 5 of 6 hours to play). On Thursday we went to Shinjuku (shin-gee-koo or shin-ju-ku). Shinjuku Station is the busiest (train) station in Japan and one of the busiest in the world. Nearly 3.6 million people pass through it a day. That's a lot of people!!!! We went to a book store at the Shopping Mall there (Times Square). The book store was called Books Kinokuniya (Kin-o-kun-ee-ya). And they had a whole floor of English language books. We found a manga novel on Japanese Cuisine. We (me and my mum) love it. We had lunch down at the food hall and it was amazing. There were soooooo many different types of food here. On Friday we went for a walk and we walked passed Akasaka (a-ka-sa-ka, it sounds really cool when you say it fast). On Friday night we went out to dinner with on of mum's work mates you happened to be in Tokyo. We went to a Soba noodle place and it was delicious.
More coming soon,
Chloe

ReplyDeleteYou're right Chloe. Akasaka does sound cool when you sat it fast. But, it also sounds cool when you say it reaalllly slloowwwlllyyy in a growly voice. I might have to right a song about it it sound so cool. How are the cartoons over there? You need to learn Japanese so you can tell me what the good cartoons are over there these days.
ReplyDeleteI feel a bit envious! You are having a lot of new experiences. I thibk Akasaka could be put into a song something like "On the rtrack to Akasaka" We could start it with "There's a train going fast, with a whistle that's a blast, along the track to Akasaka". I am going,w ith Colleen, to Canberra today and will give your regards to the chooks. Any special messages for them or the twins?? Love Scoop
ReplyDeleteI think there's a Kinokuniya in Sydney - it's a great bookstore! The one you went to must have been huge.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you took Killer Bunnies all the way to Japan :P
