The Past Couple Days!

So we made it back to Tokyo and have just been so BUSY! So on Saturday we did laundry cause we only brought enough clothes for half a trip. And then we went to Shibuya and ate whale! Unfortunately they didnt have any whale penis, I was excited at first when there was something on the menu called "5 different kinds of dainty bits" and I thought they might be referring to those dainty bits. But alas, it was just a combo of different delicacies! (like tongue, heart, intestines...) So we stuck with the cheaper stuff, whale sashimi and bacon of whale. The bacon was pretty good... but the sashimi... not so much. Tasted like a mix of fish, beef, and blood. Maybe it woulda been better cooked! Then we wandered around Shibuya, and man, it was crowded! So many people that it was like waiting in line just to walk down the street! But we did win some free vitamin water, and a guy dressed like Jack Sparrow helped us win it!
Then there was Sunday, we finally met up with Mallory. She and Jerusha showed us around Roppongi and the Tokyo Tower. (Roppongi is HELLA boring, but the tower was badass!) And there were some extreme right wing Japanese in black vans yelling at different embasseys for the foreigners to go home. Mallory told us that they yell at her school all the time, but mostly just hate the Koreans. Then we went to a Matsuri (festival) and ate lots of food, sno-cones, and I won prizes!
Monday we went to Odaiba with Mallory and Jerusha, which is like one giant amusement park/mall. (mostly mall, really) But that's where Muscle Park is, where I tried the Ninja Warrior obstacle course!! It was just a mini version of the real thing, but it was loads of fun! We ate crepes, shopped around, and saw a 59-foot gundam! And man, was it huge! Some people would call it giant, but I would just call it normal-sized, since that's the size they are supposed to be. And it talked in Japanese and its head moved, and we got to walk between its legs! mallory and Jerusha had to leave early, but then me and Liz headed over to Venus Fort, which is like a big mall decorated like 17th century Europe. And the roof was painted like the sky and it changed from day to night, with a sunset and everything! But the stores themselves were not that exciting, so we ate more crepes and left. By then it was around 6pm so we went to Oedo Onsen Monogatari! An onsen is like a public bath, and this onsen was the Amusement Parks of onsens! We got to pick out our yukatas (robes) and then went into the outdoor foot bath, which was kinda like a stream of still water. It looked all natural and had rocks at the bottom that made it uncomfortable to walk around. But you were supposed to walk on the rocks so that it massaged your feet. Then we went into the women's bath and bathed in every tub and bath they had! We were naked! Everyone was! And there were hot baths, mineral baths, cold baths, a sauna and steam room... and there was an outdoor bath that looked like a natural pool with plants and rocks. So it was pretty awesome! There was even an area in the center for eatting and playing games! (clothed of course!)
