We ate breakfast with everyone and finished packing up all of our gear this morning. Malikai had really wanted to see where the Giants played and we needed a couple more souvenirs, so we headed over to the Tokyo Dome. It was huge! People were staking out their spots to get in to tonite's game, and at 12:00, there were already a lot of people there. There was this crazy roller coaster that Malikai and I wanted to ride, but it was closed. This is the only pla...

Harajuku was so crazy and just what I expected. There were lots of funny shops and we even got to hit up H+M, one of my favorite overseas stores. We also got to eat Shaky's Pizza which is really a Cici's Pizza with exotic toppings as Adam or Jeff put it.

The shops in Harajuku are definite...

After so many days of going full speed everyone was ready for a short break. We are headed to the Imperial Palace and Ginza later today. Shinjuku was not really how I remembered it. I used to go there all the time with my friends and go shopping, but Jeff says i...

Today was a crazy traveling day. We left Okinawa and flew back to Tokyo. We made a miscalculation on the time of our flight, and ended up racing through the airport to make it on time. Us running through the airport to catch our flight? Hard to believe, I know. We also decided to take the train to our hotel, and that was a fun adventure! We saw the countryside and inner city. There are rice fields as far as the eye can see and then wall to wall buildings. ...
