Shibuya
The great thing about flying home from Japan is the time difference. Our flight was 9:15 on April 4, and we arrived home at 8:30 April 4th! We were able to play just a little bit more before we came home. We started the day by getting our last dose of sushi for breakfast (gee, what a surprise, eh?) and then we headed off to Shibuya. I wanted to go to my favorite store, The Loft, and also take a picture by the Hachiko statue. If you don't know the story about Hachiko the dog, you can read about it here. Any dog lover will be touched.
This is a very famous dog in Japan, they even named one of the station's exit after him. Here is his mural...
Shibuya is a very busy city, as you can see, a little like NYC with all the neon signs and lots and lots of people!
Hachiko bus...cute, yah?
This is The Loft...I could spend hours and hours in here. It has 6 floors of all kinds of furniture, gadgets, paper goods, kitchen and bath stuff and a whole lot more. I wish they'd open up one in the US!
Well, I'm back home, exhausted, but happy! It was a fun (and fast!) trip but I pretty much got to do everything that I came to do :) I probably won't be eating sushi for awhile, I think I've gotten my cravings out of the way for a loooong time. Maybe a month? haha!

Welcome home!! We missed you.
Thanks Jalna! Missed you guys too, not too thrilled about going back to work though! :(
Glad you're home, Les. Judging from your pictures, you obviously had a grand time!! I would suppose sushi tastes a lot better in Japan than here in the US.
Thanks Betty! I had a blast! The sushi doesn't necessarily taste better, the good stuff is just cheaper and there's sooooo much of it! :)
WWAAAGGHH! Sachiko is such a sad story..~sniff. Welcome Back!
I know!! there's a movie out now too...I wanna see it :*(
I just watched haole version last night with Richard Gere. It is a great story, very sad, very moving. There is an Irish or Scottish version too, I think it was a true story also. I love the picture of you and the dog!
I wanna see the movie too, but I know I'm gonna be BAWWWWLING!!
