touring Tokyo

Spent the day with Emi in Tokyo. It's quite the city. Emi has no sense of direction so we spent a fair bit of time being lost and back tracking. Their subway and train system is huge and complex. Some signs are also in English, but the majority is in Japanese.

In the afternoon we took a bus tour.

It's spring in Japan so it is a bit cold (but it's not snowing). Emi has been living in Brisbane, Australia for more than a year where it is quite hot so she's cold a lot of the time. This is Emi in front of the Imperial Palace.

We went to a Buddhist Shrine and the shopping area in front of it. It's much more fun to shop for gifts and souvenirs in Japan than in New Zealand because everything is so different and cute. Have to remind myself of the garage sale rule (don't buy it if you can picture it on the 50 cent table at a garage sale).

Having loads of fun.
