Tokyo Day 2

Last night I got to know two girls who are studying in Seoul close to my university. How nice is that? We stayed up and talked for a long time. The plans for today was to wake up too early to experience the fish market but I didn't manage to get myself out of bed.

The second day in Tokyo and our walk continues. Again I am lying in my capsule with feet screaming for help. Our plan for the day was to walk around and explore the heart of Tokyo. We started by taking the subway to Ginza for breakfast. We walked around Ginza, Roppogi and Shiodome. We visited the Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple which organized a roll pipe concert. Next to the temple, we saw the fish market so we decided to take a look. 

One thing we both wanted to experience was to get up in one of the towers in Tokyo. One of the most famous one is Tokyo Tower, located pretty close to Ginza. Before we got there, we had the opportunity to see the chief temple of the Jodo-Buddhist sect. Zojoji. The temple was huge and surrounded by a beautiful garden with mini-buddhas. Tokyo is the biggest city in the world, but there is a lot of space for beautiful gardens. Sometimes it almost feels like you are walking in a rain forest.

When we arrived to the tower, we took the elevator all the way up to the top of Tokyo Tower. Even though it was a bit cloudy, the view was amazing! After our visit to the tower, we walked through the area full of lights, life and party called Roppongo. A long day behind us again, but it wasn't over yet. We took the subway home, made ourselves ready for dinner, drinks and partying. We met up with Barry, an exchange student from KHU, and had dinner together. The rain was making us crazy and we decided to just go in to the first pub that came in our way. Of course, we ended up in a british pub. We made some new friends from Tokyo who were sitting next to us in the pub and we all decided to go clubbing together. We went to the club across the street, called Black Horse. The place was packed, full of party people dressed in halloween costumes. The nightlife in Tokyo is crazy and trust me, anything can happen here.  We took the first subway to our home area and we managed to be so drunk and tired that we missed our station. So all we could do was to go back. The night out in Tokyo was awesome and I would do it again, anytime!
