Lights, Camera and Noise!
Chris awoke this morning with tails of rainy dreams. He had a dream that started raining then awoke to the top bunk dripping through to his. Luckily it was only water that the guy spilt. our 3rd day saw us heading to the wooded grounds of Meji-jingu. We walked throught he grounds and garden, following the crowd we ended up praying at a well that supplies the grounds. We then checked out the shrine, which started with us cleansing ourselves before entering. Wash your left hand, right hand, rinse mouth using left hand, rinse left hand then ladle. Entering we saw a wedding ceremony about to take place, the guest…
Festival time.
After waking we got changed and headed out. The first thing we noticed upon leaving was the shear heat that blasted us, you think we had a heat wave back home? that’s nothing. Quick breakfast and jumped on the metro system, which is so efficient compared to London. The latest we have seen a train arrive was 1 min late so far. First stop was the Imperial Palace. We exited the tube and started walking. 10 mins later and we find out we’ve only been heading the wrong way and on the wrong side of it anyway. A few tube stops later and off we get. You can not enter…
Meat feast!
Well after our nap on the first night, we headed out. After a quick walk Chris had taken me to a Japanese BBQ. We spent 5 mins trying to decipher the menu before the waiter came over and gave us an English menu. Still not that clear we ordered anyway with the typical pointing and nodding of heads. The BBQ was brought out and as soon as the lid was lifted we were blasted by the heat. quickly followed by some refreshing beer. The first plate arrive which was Salted Beef tongue, which was deliciously. Then the plates kept coming, flames were getting high, quickly doused by ice cold water.…
Sleep on the plane to trick the workings of a tired brain.
After setting a 4am wakeup call, then excitedly being awake till half 2 I finally drifted off. The shock came when I rolled over and saw the half 5 being displayed on my obviously unset alarm clock. Springing out of bed I rushed into the hallway where me and Chris almost collided, both saying “we gotta go” 2 quick showers later and we were out the door. Luckily I set my alarm clock an half hour fast for such situations. Picked up my Parents, so they could bring my car back home, and proceeded to get stuck in the good old M25 traffic. Have I mentioned I hate traffic. Even…
