Lazy Off Donuts

Friday, October 17th, 2008 | 22 Comments

Blame the donuts for this particularly lazy entry. Honestly I’ll probably have Japan photos to post straight into 2009, hahaah. My current daily happenings are fairly light (read, boring!) Though we did get an XBOX 360 this week :*: :*:

I wanted to posts some snaps from an afternoon spent in Tokyo :good: It’s extremely image heavy :driftingoff:

Tokyo Tower
looks closer than it is

Coming out from the station you can see it in the distance

on the walk up to the tower
It’s actually a very lovely walk, uphill, to the tower with greenery and some older looking homes. It was peaceful despite the nearby busy intersection.

almost there!
so tall!

One of the mascots outside the entrance
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
A view from the main observatory

I wonder if pervs were down there looking up???
A glass part of the floor you could stand on & look straight down. Obviously for the sake of causing vertigo.
LOL I actually looked cute but heart face is cuter
Mike SERIOUSLY did not want to stand on it with me
censored!
CENSORED PURIKURA! Haha, basically just wanted to say they have a few older purikura booths there in the tower too Tower related of course.

We also hit up Asakusa for an even more super touristy feeling! :puup: Hahaha, honestly our mission was to BUY FAMILY GIFTS & SOUVENIRS. You know, because that’s what they wanted. Plum candies and sweet bean pastries and kimono fabric dolls & such. Unlike me who’s ultimate souvenir was a Cher eco bag! :driftingheart:

浅草寺

Smoke at the shrine. My friend said you can waft it over your head to bring you intelligence!
Asakusa area

My Omikuji fortune turned out bad! So I had Mike tie it for me so I could “leave my bad luck at the shrine.” It said I didn’t studied enough and felt failure *crushing*

Well, I’m exhausted. I’m feeling better. It’s weird, it’s like I’ve felt I’m “coming down with something” all week yet it never forms into a full blown flu or cold. Sinus perhaps? Perhaps .
