Nearly Two Months In...

It's crazy to think about...Time is passing by extremely quickly. I can't believe UVA is over for the year, I've only got a bit longer here, I'm a fourth-year now, etc...

But I don't want to dwell on that, I have many many pictures to post!

Continuation from last time...

The Periodic Table of Elements!

Daniel and his early ancestor. See the resemblance?

A crazy looking moose thing.

Daniel completing the "(Japanese) Man Through the Ages" exhibit, representing present-day man. My photo-taking skills are not that great, so you can't really tell that he's inside a glass display case... :/

Well, here's the rest of the display, and on the right side is the empty case where you can step inside.

A close-up of that whale.

Cute. Painting along rails that you can only view from the side.

We continue our walk. On the way to Uguisudani. The view from the bridge was so pretty, even if it was just train tracks and buildings.


Then on our way to the next station, it got a bit hard to follow the tracks directly so we were in this alley...Lingerie for 500yen! But beware! Not for those younger than 18! Because somehow the machine will stop you if you are too young...

Nippori Station. But it's really cool, because...well, look at it! We walked through a bunch of graveyards to get to this point too...

After that, we continued on to Nishi-Nippori and Tabata. Then it was off to eat dinner at Gut's Soul, the awesome yakiniku all-you-can-eat (which we deserved after a long day of lots of walking).

Ah, so Krispy Kreme is really popular here. Also, really expensive. Daniel and I had to wait an hour to get into the restaurant so we took a quick trip to Shinjuku, where this Krispy Kreme is located. It's dark, but you can still see all those people lined up.

The guy pointing in the middle is one of the official dudes in charge of keeping people in line and everything. So intense.

Ahh! Attack of the octopus tentacles!
