It’s pretty crazy one Saturday I was hiking in Rwanda, marveling at glamorous Kigali and the next Saturday I’m visiting a high school friend in downtown Tokyo!
We spent a day visiting a popular temple.
Rieko took me out for a traditional Japanese dish. I can’t remember what it’s called, but I have never had anything like it! The restaurant gives you all of the ingredients and you cook them yourself into a sort of pancake on the grill built into your table. To eat it, you use a tiny little shovel-like utensil.
It’s common for restaurants in Japan to have plastic examples of their menu items in the window, so we wandered around an area where they sell all these plastic foods.
Coffee cup balconies.
A massive beetle crawls up this building.
The same temple at night.
