Me at the enterance of the shrine
The Group at the enterance
Hello all! Today I did more sightseeing...big surprise. We had a short orientation (I think it was the last one) and then, as a big group, went to Harajuku to explore some more. We walked amoung all the shops (I bought a crepe!) and I finally saw some of those weird cosplaying people.
After the shops, we went to the Meiji Jingu and explored the temple their. It was very pretty, and their were a lot less people than there were at Asakusa!!! I was very pleasant and I stopped to take pictures about a million times! There was even a women there posing in a traditional kimono...it was very cool!
Then, (now a much smaller group) we went to a store called "Book off." Basically, it is like Powells, only there are more than one. They have very cheap books, and I bought some manga.:) They even had nintendo DS's for very cheap! I will have to go back soon!!!!
After that, we went shortly to Shinjuku. There, we played crane games and went to a "Don Quixote" store, which sells just about everything you can think of.
By the way, since I can use the internet on my phone, I can read emails anywhere. therefore, you all should email me! Otherwise, the train can be pretty boring...so if you have any news, email my gmail at majaye@gmail.com

Maddy! I miss you so much and love reading your blog. I check it every morning, and reread it when I get to teacher aide class with Mrs. Dietrich.
Your pictures are great. My favorite one so far is of you standing under that big arch. It's so hard for me to picture you in a setting like Tokyo-- actually, I don't even think I can picture Tokyo.
You'd better get that nintendo DS! Are the crane games there as stupid as the ones here? Or can you actually win at them?
I'll email you soon!
M!!! I just bought Allie a DS for Christmas... well, Santa and the elves delivered it, I mean. The best games are like $30 here. And the DS is $120. I am curious what the translation is.
Your phone may be a little scarry. Resolution the more you have the better the photo.
Navigator sounds like what I need!
