Bye Bye Katherine

Yay. Katherine was here for a whole week! ^_^ Thanks for coming!

It was definitely a surreal feeling walking around Tokyo with Katherine and Midori, as if we were back in Pittsburgh heading to Squirrel Hill or the Waterfront. It just seemed so out of place, until you see your environment and yeap, they're all Japanese.

Not to mention I got sick. So... that fever could have helped the feeling a bit.

But I have no photos (wah!) because we used Katherine's camera the entire time. But we went to Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara, Ikebukuro, and Asakusa. Ikebukuro was the new one for me. All was fun, some things disturbing. There was a short moment when I became all fangirl over some Final Fantasy merchandise. Bought more clothes at Uniqlo (I think I am becoming the Uniqlo poster girl...). And walked a lot.

Oh and ate a LOT of food.

Asakusa was fun even though I was going a second time. Without the huge swarms of crowds, it was a bit easier to explore the shopping. It felt like an old people's place to go, but really, it felt nicer than Shinjuku or Shibuya. No desire to kill the slow crowds that keep stepping in your way.

And no screaming girls. That's a plus.

But yeah, it's been busy and now I've got tons of homework for my procrastination. Not Katherine's fault. I just don't concentrate as well when there are people around me. So... today I slept. Guess I'm doing homework all night?
