Later, we went to a huge toystore in Ginza. We spent hours playing with japanese toys.
Mr. Soccer. Remote control robot soccer. I brought home "Japan vs. Brazil" for Thomaz!
Apple store in Ginza. I took this picture for Thomaz.
Sunday we went to another area of town, and found another million people :)
There was some parade happening. We tried to ask what it was for, but didn't really find out exactly.
This is the area of town that all the kids dress up and walk around in costumes on Sunday. So we saw a few little bo peep girls like this.
We went to a cool art museum.
They made us take off our shoes.
We found this crazy performance art band when we were wandering around. They attracted quite a crowd!
On our last evening, we went for shabu shabu dinner, and got a private tatami mat room.
Here's the woman that prepared everything for us, and showed us what to do.
On monday I was off to Korea. The conference was at Jeju island off the southwest coast of South Korea.
The view from my hotel, it was super fancy.
One afternoon, I ditched the conference sessions with a friend and explored the island a bit. We found this authentic place for lunch.
They brought us all these little things.
And cooked us some meat at our table.
Then cut it up with scissors, and we ate the pieces wrapped in lettuce leaves. It was good!
Then we wandered around the "Folk Villages"
We think they had everything set as it was in the old days on Jeju.
And they encouraged you to try it out.
I'm pretty sure this was lunch...
These dudes must be the mascots of Jeju island, because you see them everywhere.
After the village we found a walking trail along the coast.
