tokyo















here you buy a candle (100 yen) and then light it, say a prayer and put it inside this glass case.
but not me! don't leave me here!

here we are at the asakusa temple. you pay 100 yen, draw a numbered stick out of the metal cylinder and you get a fortune!

so we've just arrived after a very very long 14hr flight. that thankfully wasn't too bad as we were able to switch seats so we weren't next to a small child. here we are on the narita express. a train that goes from the narita airport to tokyo station. as you can see by the blurry window behind we're going pretty fast!

TOKYO!

coming soon!
us in tokyo!
yes tokyo!!!
no, our tour has not quite gone international. . . however we did!
we took our vacation this year to tokyo to go primarily to the tokyo game show!
it was amazing!
only 8 days (with a whole day lost to travelling by plane) but it was amazing! so worth the pain of jet lag!
we saw so many temples, harajuku, dancers, girls in amazing clothes, shopping, so much yummy food!

and of course the tokyo game show was mind boggling! so many games! new games! we love games!!!

this is our friend john! he was a cricket in the show for a few months. unfortunately he was only a temp. a replacement for an injured artist. . which sadly means he has left us for another show!
