A month in Japan

• Morning/Afternoon
o Nate and I woke up at around 12… We both managed to make ourselves look slightly awake and then we headed out to meet Iori for lunch. On the way, we ran into her mother, and so we all headed together to meet Iori. We had a nice simple lunch of lots of random Japanese foods (umm… udon, miso soup, the usual suspects,) Iori had to go back to driving school, so Nate and I headed out to Shibuya to look at clothes and just relax.
• Afternoon
o Shibuya is amazing. Nate and I arrived at Shibuya station… at the famous intersection that you often see in photos of japan. This is the intersection where hundreds of people cross it ever few minutes. There are so many people that you can’t see the ground at times. I really don’t miss the ground that much. Another fact of shibuya is that the girls are def more attractive than Osaka… granted, Osaka isn’t bad in that respect at all, but Tokyo in general wins. Osaka sure as hell beats the US, but this isn’t tough ahaha, I’m such a horrible person. I’m going to come back to the US, and look at the percentage of people that are overweight and just close my eyes and hope things will change. Ok, enough about how the US fails. Nate and I walked around Shibuya and I managed to buy a shirt that wasn’t $100… to my relief. Shibuya is rather expensive, more so than Harajuku. Nate managed to buy a $100 pair of jeans and a $100 hoody… but I’d be more lenient with my money if my parents gave me unlimited funds too haha… but enough about that, since he usually pays for my lunch when we hang out I’m in no position to complain. We went to a Korean barbecue place to get a drink after shopping for a while. The weather was so hot, so we were just looking to have a beer and sit and talk for a while. Yet, as we sat down and I ordered two beers in Japanese… hell yeah… the waiter put down the coals in the barbecue so we were rather obliged to order something. We ordered a plate of meat that neither nate nor I really knew what was in it. Luckily, we asked about one suspicious looking piece of meat and it turned out to be stomach… close call, we didn’t end up eating it. The rest of the meal was delicious, but decidedly more Japanese looking than Korean looking. We headed back to Roppongi to meat Iori for dinner.
• Evening
o Iori was exhausted, so we took a quick trip just one metro stop away for dinner. We had Korean barbecue again haha… didn’t plan it. It was better this time and decidedly more Korean. I just had a simple dish and we all shared a bit of meat on the barbecue and a few dishes. Afterwards, I took the long trip back to my hotel and by the time I got there it was almost midnight. Sleep was easy.
