Day 3 and 4 in Tokyo
Tina McInerney
This day began with our trip to Starbucks and then off to the Pig Cafe. Something different- sitting on the floor with a rug on our knees and the little pigs climbing on our laps. The girls loved it. And Daniel did too! I sort of liked it.
Next we were off to meet Paul, Maki and Sara at Dad’s favourite restaurant - the Oak Door at the Hyatt. Delicious meal as usual. After that we went to see Team Lab Borderless. This is an amazing digital exhibition. We spent about 1 1/2 hours wandering through all these rooms with fabulous digital displays - hard to explain but it was beautiful.
After that, we went up to visit Paul in his very flash offices.
Next was a trip to the top of Tokyo Tower - pretty fabulous looking across the city.
And we ate at Mosburger!
Day 4, off to Starbucks for Matcha Frappes and coffee then Dan and Benji went off to do boy’s things.
The rest of us went for a little Red Bus tour around Ikebukuro, the suburb of Tokyo where we were staying. We visited a lovely shopping centre called Sunshine city and the Daiso shop.
We met up in town and had lunch at a Yakinuki place in Shinjuku. You barbecued your meat and vegetables at the table.
We then waited to see Godzilla ( a big gorilla on top of a building) but it was in the daylight so not so exciting. At night, his eyes and ears shoot out flames!and I think that was it.
