Narita City - last day in Japan

Photobucket

Only one stop away from Luigi's place. At the famous Anko place.

Delicious! Raf went back for seconds!

Local goodies - typically Japanese biscuits/cookies, pastries/mochi, and eel
Photobucket

This was super cool - fresh eel

Look how fast he filets

Then off to Narita-san

Then a bowl of crappy ramen - I noticed the ramen shop was filled with pilots/anglos. So if you happen to walk by this place, don't eat there.

Unless you want gyoza. It was quite good - even better than what we had in Tokyo.

Going back home

Roppongi, Tokyo and Curry udon

Went to Roppongi later; where all the American and European expats live. A bit quiet, very modern, and a lot of English around here.

Getting tea
Photobucket

Matcha and red bean, bitches!
Photobucket

They have these all over the world...

...in Paris too, in my old hood, Jardin des Tuileries where I used to run, and enjoy the sun. (Looks better in Roppongi, IMO)

From the big ex-pat mall

Decided to hit up a curry udon place in the mall.

Delicious curry udon with a side of shrimp

It hit the spot.

Harajuku + Meiji Shingu Temple

Met up with Luigi outside the metro station.

Then off to Harajuku via metro.

Her legs are about to give out!


Photobucket

Then off to eat gyoza.

We walked to the bridge where the Harajuku girls are normally at. They only come out on weekends though. We went to the Meiji Shingu temple right next to it.

I tried to get Luigi to jump but this is all I got. HAHAHAHAHA

Customary to wash hands and mouth before entering.

Japanese girls love their stiletto heels - rain, shine, gravel, doesn't matter.


One of the prayers we found
