Weekend in Tokyo!

After work this past Saturday I hopped on the shinkansen and headed to Tokyo to meet some friends. I stayed with my ex-roomie, Valerie, at her place in Omori, and had a crazy all nighter in Tokyo with some other AEON teachers that I trained with. Local trains stop running around 12:30, and start again around 6am, so that means if you go out, you can't go home until it's light outside. We had a lot of fun going to different bars, dancing at The Womb, and finished off the night with breakfast at Denny's. The next afternoon we headed to Yokohama for lunch in Chinatown. I really loved Yokohama, I think because it reminded me a lot of San Francisco. There is a huge Chinatown, a beautiful bay, and one of the most gorgeous skylines I've ever seen. I think Yokohama might be my favorite city in Japan so far. Later that night we went to Roppongi Hills, a place famous for it's high end shops and chic bars. The next day we did a little shopping in Harajuku, but time passed too quickly and I had to catch the shinkansen back home. I had a fantastic time in Tokyo, and sometimes I feel that I'm really missing out here in Fukushima. Look at the pictures, and you be the judge.
