First weekend in Tokyo

Saturday Alex and I deciced to go to Ikea to furnish our homes. i lie not when I say that the ikea was the size of a small airport. i bought this really cool lamp that is the size of a small sake bottle that sits on the floor and gives nice ambient lighting, some candles, and other doo-hickeys.

Sunday was a nice, random day. Alex, Nicky, and I met up in Akihabara, the electronic center of Tokyo if not the world. Then we went to Shibuya where we went to a CANADIAN BAR! Just imagine my glee. Yeah, a pint of Guiness was a thousand yen so I wont be going to that place everyday... but it was defintely worth it. Bartender was kinda cute to. So was Kerri's coworker, too.

The train ride home was exciting, mostly because I did not know as to whether I would have the privilege of having one. Unfortunately, JR lines stop running around 1, and then there is no feasible way for anyone to get home. After scrambling and running through Shinjuku, asking two Japanses girls for directions, I manade to get one of the last trains home. Phew!

Hey Pierre,

I have no account, so it'll all be 'anonomus', but whatever. 1000 JPY is how much CDN? And how is 'Guiness' Canadian? Christ, if they had Bacon and maple syrup, maybe...
