Well I arrived at 7 am on Sunday in Tokyo with 80 other Australians! We were taken to the Keio Plaza Hotel which was a very nice 5 star hotel and it was all paid for! We settled in and then us 6 Adelaide JET's decided it was time for exploring Tokyo! We headed to Harajuku, Yoyogi-koen and Meiji Shrine. It was so so hot and humid compared to the Adelaide weather we had left the day before but it was so exciting to be back in Japan and in Tokyo!
The entrance to Meji Shrine
Walking to the Shrine we saw these girls. . .
We also caught a glimpse of a traditional Japanese wedding at the Shrine
Meiji Shrine
When we went to Yoyogi-koen we saw these guys (I have seen them each time I have been here!) dancing to rock and roll music and looking very cool!
We then walked around Harajuku where all the young, cool people hang out and express themselves in costumes.
And of course this only happens in Japan! Kind of cute but also a little scary!
The shopping street in Harajuku which was so so busy!
We went out in Shinjuku on the Sunday night for dinner and drinks.
The view from my hotel room - the 27th floor!
All the JET's going to Hyogo prefecture (state) had a night out together. There are about 54 of us all together spread out around the state! At one stage we had 19 bottles of beer on our table!
The view from the breakfast room in the hotel - 43rd floor!
The 6 Adelaide JET girls! We did a lot together during the time in Tokyo and we even shared hotel rooms!
Rayna, Laura, Lucy, Nicole, Laura and me!
And when we were leaving Tokyo I saw the cutest bus ever! A Hello Kitty bus - yes my addiction has started again! :-)
Tokyo was fun but quite busy with orientation meetings but it was a great chance to meet people from all over the world!
