Welcome Home, Japan!

So Mike and I have been in Japan for about 5 days now. We have been doing all kinds of crazy shit like hanging out with our friend Hiroto's entire family, eating tons of food, playing DDR and...well...we have not really been doing that much crazy shit. It has been, in fact, pretty relaxed.

Today we wandered around Ikebukuro some and wound up in Sunshine City. For those of you who don't know, Sunshine City is this HUGE building with tons of shopping, food and, most importantly, a HUGE theme park called Namjatown. Namjatown is home to two of my favorite things in Japan: Ice Cream City and Gyoza Stadium. We were too full from breakfast to eat at Gyoza Stadium, but we did wander around Ice Cream City. They had every flavor of ice cream you would never want to eat and then some. It was pretty amazing. Definitely worth the 300¥ entrance fee.

Here are a few videos of our travels thus far:

So yep. That's Tokyo so far. A lot has happened in the last 5 days but I'm lazy so that's all I got for now. Now I'm going to finish the alcohol I purchased at 7 Eleven and then walk to Coco Curry for dinner. Japan is sweet.

Jaa, Matta!
