Merry Christmas!! I don:t think the Japanese celebrate Christmas really but in any case they seem to celebrate American Christmas - as in the commercialization of Christmas. There are holiday displays everywhere - very festive:
- and Christmas themed displays and posters in all the stores. They were even selling a cake on Christmas eve - looked like a regular birthday cake to me.
Today we started the day off by looking for the Japanese sword museum. We did eventually find it but it took forever and I had to ask for directions 4 times - if you know me, you know that means I was mega-lost. We finally found it after a nice lady walked us all the way there, to find that...it was CLOSED. But there were still some explanations we got to look at before we went along on our merry way.
Then we went to the top of the Tokyo Met. Gov. building again to see the skyline during the day. Not nearly as cool I think.
We spent the afternoon visiting a shrine and walking around Harajuku and checking out the Harajuku girls. Apparently, legs is the currency in flesh here. Today was a bit warmer than usual and there are short shorts and short skirts everywhere. Sorry, no pix.
Fish market tomorrow.
