Fantastic Weekend!!!

Had a fab weekend, got alot sorted for apply for jobs here, just off to get a bank account now then can get applying!!! :-) We had such a great day yesterday, we managed to squeeze so much in!!! and I can't even imagine how much walking we actually did yesterday! Crazy!

So we started at Nihombashi Bridge, It had pretty impressive statues on it like this dragon.

We then walked along to the Imperial Palace Gardens, which was so so beautiful! The whole place was surrounded by a massive thick stone wall and a moet. It was so peaceful. I really enjoying walking around in side here

There were a whole load of wildlife that I'd never seen before, drangonflies were as common as flies are in England, every bush was covered in a thick spider web, there were birds flying between the trees (mostly cute (but I can't stand the crows, they are huge and make such a horrible noise!!!)), and different coloured butterflies floating around. The butterflies never stayed still long enough for me to take a photo, I kept chasing them - bet I looked like a right idiot!

My Uncle Dave and KT!!! I've told him... I'm fasing out the uncle cuz it's just not cool saying Uncle Dave all the time... haha. No honestly, these guys have been so amazing, they have been ssooooo helpful, definitely couldn't of done this without them!!!! (although no more history museums please U. D!)

We visiting the Yasukuni Shrine which was very beautiful, the Temples and Shrines look very similar but the ones we have seen has slight differences. this was in my opinion by the far the most peaceful.

After that we split off from Dave and KT. Me and Fran headed to Harajuku again... only we didn't walk down the same road we had before because it looked quite hard to get anywhere - as you can see! We were told that to experience the real Harajuku culture we had to go on a Sunday. We were told that teenages gather and dress up in crazy costumes to resemble anime characters, punk rockers, or anything they fancy - just as long as it's crazy! They dress for the attention and love to pose for any camera!

 We actually just followed the crowd and we ended up at a concert venue, which had totally thrown us off. There isn't a concert every Sunday so I think we are hoping to spend the day there next sunday to really get some great photos, and soak up the atmosphere. We went for a walk in Yoyogi Park nearby. and we could hear music... so obviously (being us!) we followed it and ended up at this outside little concert venue, probably about 150 people watching/dancing/singing along to this rasta/acoustic music!!!


After chilling out to this pretty cool music we walked in the direction we thought there would be a place to get some food... I had no idea we had walked so far but we ended up in Shibuya! We had a bite to eat and fran got some footage for our first video. So be ready for that one :-)

We went back to the flat and totally flaked out! I think we are totally over our jet lag now - WOOP!
