Tokyo Disney - Japan Day 11

On our last full day in Japan, Jim and I went to Tokyo Disney. What can I say? It was full of things from the 90s, The Country Bears, The Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, Stitch was a featured role in The Tiki Room, and Princess Aurora was quite nice. Enjoy these photos (it's not even half of what I took) and feel free to ask me any questions about my trip! I'm so fortunate to have been able to go to Japan for fun and it was an amazing trip.

Nakano to Ikebukuro - Japan Day 3

The third day of our trip consisted of exploring even more of Tokyo. The three of us started off browsing the collectables and vending machines of Nakano. There we met our friend Sam, who was in Japan on a vacation from her job in China. After that we visited a (rather sad) aquarium for a bit. Than later that night Jim and I had dinner with my high school buddy, Mike, who's working in Japan as an English teacher. We had a great sushi dinner in Ikebukuro. It seems that where ever in the world I go,  I run into friends.
 

Exploring Tokyo - Japan Day 2

During our second day in Japan (It was the 4th) we spent our time exploring around Tokyo. We did some shopping, some looking around, and mainly just getting a feel for the city. It was a bit rainy but nothing too bad. I love the feeling of being in a new country and experiencing something so different but also familiar in a way. There's something about consumerism in another language that fascinates me. It's how something so foreign and strange to me is someone's day to day, someone's normal. I miss the feeling Tokyo gave me, and I really miss those hot coffee vending machines!
