Today was a variety show! I started the morning in Asakusa visiting the Asakusa Kannon Shrine with Joseph. It's like a circus out front with a whole street lined with stalls selling food and knick knacks. From there we wandered back to Ueno where we food Kappabashi (the restaurant supply district) and the motorcycle district. Score! From there I met up with Sarah and we went to the Tokyo Giant's baseball game. The stadium is immaculate and their fans are something else, giant banner, flag wavers and bands all in the stands! We spent a quiet night at a friend's house before finally making our way back home.
What well organized fans!
The keg girls - beer on tap straight to you. Not like you can't bring your own beer in either, you just have to exchange the can for a cup.
Our fantastic seats - only $25 bucks.
The real reason we don't feed birds.
Asakusa Kanno Temple - note Joseph and I striking our Japanese poses.
Kappabashi. The fake food mother-load, and this stuff is NOT cheap! Guess what my mother is getting for a souvenir?
Talk about weird Japanese food, here is Blueberry Cheesecake Kit Kat bars. They also have such classic flavors as Green Tea, Cherry Blossom, Raspberry Passion Fruit, and Chilli Pepper.
