Tokyo trip Day 1 (Haneda --> Asakusa--> Shinjuku --> Oneu)

Finally tarted the first day of out trip and I love this hostel. Everyone here is warhin a thriller and m atching and typing this at the same time... Hmm... explains the spelling mistkes... Im not gonna correct them or you'll be confused. Anyways. about my day!

SO we trained down w our luggages all the way to the hostel which im currently in right now writing this. Dumped or bags there and went off to tour the streets of Tokyo! Before explaining what happened through the entire day, I have to say, the train system is CONFUSING!! Try figuring this out!


I wont blame you if you cant. Of course if you can, DO TEACH MEE!!! So heres what I love about their trains espite the confusing lines. THEY HAVE CUSHIONED SEATS! No, seriously. the seats are like long stretches of sofas. Pretty awesome. So.. heres some pictures from the first few hours of my day!

So anyways, thats the first half and now... we skipskip skip to Asakusa, Tokyo!! Once we got off the train we made our way down to the hostel to place our bags for safekeeping. As if I would be stupid enough to carry around EVERYTHING. Just saying, Well, we passed the Tokyo Skytree, some amazing looking building. Dont know what it really is, but looksl like a huge gold gurd so,, heres pictures of it.

Sparkling lemonade from the vending machine right outside the hostel.

So walking back to the city after dumping or baggages at the hostel and we passed a shop wit a really nice owner. He gave us kelp sweets and we bough seasoned scallop from him. Seriously, its AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. You dont even have to cook it, just it it like a snack. I freaking love it. Wish I could share it with Nick tho.. When Nick and I travel, ill be soo happy cos I wont have to wait for hours for people (my mom) to pick jsut ONE thing. Yes, im complaining lolol. Since Im getting a headache and sleepy and the HUGE can of Mountain dew isnt helping, Ill let pictures talk and Ill explainn along the way (:

(ok, im not sone but i got tired.. I promse Ill complete this efore posting the second one)
