Hanabi

Yesterday was the first full day in Japan since our return from Korea.

Rebecca and I went to meet Michiyo at Adachi-ku. It was so crowded. There were people everywhere, everyone heading for the same direction; to go to watch the awesome hanabi fireworks.

The fireworks were amazing. It lasted for about one hour, and lots of people everywhere. It took quite a long while to get to the train station afterwards..

Well, we went to Shibuya to the bar Raku. I got to know Taka, who works there - and Yuuka, a friend of the other people since earlier.
We pulled an all-nighter and had lots of fun. In the morning we ate some delicious ramen before heading home to Machida.

Tanabata

Yesterday we met Michiyo and Misako. We got some awesome yukatas from them, as a gift. It was really nice of them, and we had a fun day together.

As it's Tanabata celebrations going on, we went to the temple close to Tokyo Tower. It was difficult to walk in the shoes, but with time I got used to it. At the temple we wrote wishes on papers, and tied them to trees.































































Then we went to the Tokyo Tower. Free entry for everyone wearing yukatas, so it was good.
The view from the tower is impressive. We stayed there 'til sunset and it was a beautiful view to watch.
With time we all got really hungry, so we ate at a restaurant in one of Tokyo Tower's bottom floors.
