Tokyo: My First Trip, Part 3

John headed out to get very drunk and dance a lot on Saturday night, while I headed back to the hotel (but still managed to stay up until 2am chatting to our friend Chris). So we were both a little sleepy and lazy on Sunday. Luckily the weather had cheered up, so we spent our day in the vicinity of the alternate Universe that is Yoyogi Park, relaxing and people watching. (NB: Alternate both because it is full of strange people doing strange things, and also because it is so different to the skyscraper-ville that surrounds it!)

Ridiculous skipping outfits in Yoyogi Park.

It made a weird honking noise. Naturally.

It was a lovely long weekend in Tokyo. We'll be back soon! 

PS - WHAT'S WITH THE WEATHER CURRENTLY? Last night I was in desperate need of an Ark, and now I'm scared of getting blown to Kansas. A quick reminder, Japan, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SPRING.
