Lazy Off Donuts
Friday, 10月/17日 [2008年] // 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 
It’s extremely image heavy 
Coming out from the station you can see it in the distance
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.
One of the mascots outside the entrance
A view from the main observatory
A glass part of the floor you could stand on & look straight down. Obviously for the sake of causing vertigo.
Mike SERIOUSLY did not want to stand on it with me
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! 
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! 
Kaminarimon
浅草寺
Smoke at the shrine. My friend said you can waft it over your head to bring you intelligence!
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*
Nakamise-dori
pachinko & slots of course~
awe, sunflowers along the streets
train station
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

Mmm~ Donuts
Wow. I would be really scared to stand on that glass part. I’m seriously afraid of heights.
Haha, I usually never see sunflowers here.. TT^TT

Glad to hear that you were at least able to leave your bad luck at the shrine. It sounds like the type of luck I’m experiencing right now.

Those donuts look yummy! I’d probably go for the one with sprinkles on it since I really like the texture. Which reminds me, I should probably try to stop by Voodoo Donuts tomorrow while I’m in Portland…

October 18, 2008 @ 10:05 am
I think I’m going to stop being the silent watcher, haha.
I think Asakusa is one of my favorite places in Tokyo!
I’m so jealous that you got to see Tokyo Tower though!
And I feel really silly, because I didn’t know you could go up in it!
I really want one of those donuts. D:
October 18, 2008 @ 10:55 am

And japan is such a beautiful place and I can’t wait to head there in 3 years.
October 18, 2008 @ 1:20 pm
Wow, great pictures! I didn’t the Tokyo Tower is so RED! XD The places that you’ve been to look so interesting! I wish I could visit Japan one day.
Your fortune said you didn’t study enough? lol Good thing that you “left” your bad luck there! Hmm… if you waft the smoke at the shrine over your head then you won’t need to study too much (because it brings you intelligence)

I just can’t look past those doughnuts
They look really good.
I love all your pictures from Japan! Keep them coming!
October 20, 2008 @ 3:27 pm
Zomgs donuts! I still think about the last donuts you showed from Japan. ;~; I haven’t had any in so long. And might I add very lovely pictures: of an odd mascot or otherwise. :o
October 20, 2008 @ 11:02 pm
OMG JAPAN LOOKS AWESOME! I can’t wait to go there in 3 years, after I’m done college and save enough $$ for it. LOL.

The glass part in the Tokyo Tower reminds me of the Canada Tower. I took a picture on it and totally like it. I’m not afraid of heights.
Your pictures are literally amazing advertisements. I want to visit Japan now… *sigh*
I also need donut.
