Tokyo

There, Proof that I`ve been here.
That`s Tokyo tower, which is right downtown Tokyo, a short walk from our hotel we were staying at. The hotel by the way came with free bottled water, toiletries, and mostimportantly, a Kimono, for sleeping.
The city literally looks like this in all directions, it`s almost unimaginable. The view up here was spectacular, the tower is 333 meters tall, 13 meters taller than the Eifel Tower.
On one side was the river and the rainbow bridge, the other side was the Diet building (aka Japan White house, as described by one of my japanese friends...) and on all sides was skyscraper after skyscraper.






I slipped of the edge and fell from the tower, but luckily my trusty cameraman/professor fell with me and took this amazing picture. We barely survived, but I landed on a crepe vendor who saved me.

This was the main Shrine in downtown Tokyo. It`s crazy because Tokyo will just be buildings and then a Shrine or Temple will pop up out of nowhere. The people are wafting inscense onto themselves before then ascend the steps, throw money in a huge box to appease the gods and then bow and pray. There was a monk leading a prayer, which was awesome.

This is a five story pagoda at the same shrine, they have these at almost every shrine around japan. We ate beef and pork on a stick and had a beer from the street vendors, which are plentiful around the shrine and everywhere in Japan.













These were just delicious. And totally sanitary.

Tokyo is full of beautiful and amazing cars. The drivers gave us terrible looks as we gawked at their insane autos. Well come on guys what do you expect?
