Tokyo!!

After managing to sleep a couple hours on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo, we braved the cold and headed into the city. It was quite a switch from 80-90 degrees to 40 degrees, and to top it off, it was raining. First purchase, an umbrella. Then we just ran (literally since we only had 6 hours before heading back to the airport) through the city to keep warm and had a fantastic time. We went to the Senso-ji Temple, saw the huge pagoda, and walked through stalls and stalls of fans, swords, dolls, tea sets, etc. In order to escape the cold, we found a museum and amused ourselves playing any kind of drum you could imagine. Most of our time though was spent eating (no surprise there). The best was a sushi restaurant that we were pulled into by a man yelling at us from across the street in Japanese. As soon as we got in the door, there were waiters/waitresses everywhere also yelling at us. We couldn't stop laughing since they could have been yelling absolutely anything at us, and somehow managed to figure out the computer at our table to order our meal. It was delicious! We also found these crazy desserts which look like tiny billiard balls, but were flavored like green tea, red bean, coffee, etc. Despite the weather and our short time there, it was one of our favorite days of the trip. Tokyo is definitely worth another trip.
