After yoga, mama and I came back home to find something for lunch. After much thought, mama decided to take me to one of her favorite sushi places in kawagoe a city north of shiki. After a nice walk through kawagoe and seeing people all around enjoy the tiny beginnings of cherry blossoms opening with barbecues everywhere and food stalls along the river banks, we found the sushi place. We sat down an had a nice lunch. After lunch we headed ban home to get mamas things for a meeing she has this evening in shinjuku. Together we took the train to ikebukuro so I could exchange my japan rail pass in or the ticket. I then went alone around ikebukuro for some shopping– mainly to see what’s new in the electronic stores and stores I used frequent when living here. After a couple if hours, I’m now on the train back home to meet up with papa for yakitori :).

This morning, mama and I went to yoga after a great breakfast and eating my itty bitty birthday cake. I sat in the yoga class with about 10 other older women and did various yoga poses! Needless to say, it was a fun experience and really great to stretch after my long journey yesterday.

After a long flight with probably the best seats shirt of business class, we arrived on time. I rushes through immigration and customs so I could make my bus departing at 4:30. Everything went smoothly and I was quite surprised that immigration now does two fingerprints and face scan. My how times have changed! It’s a little rainy an overcast and definitely the ride to shiki will put me to sleep.

This morning I woke up early to get all my stuff together for my trip. Last night I got a beautiful birthday cake that I wasn’t able to eat so it just got a free trip to Tokyo:) I got my iPhone loaded with lost, survivor and desperate housewives so I hope to see a decent charge on the phone to let me watch them all. As I joked yesterday I may have to go to the lavatory and plug into the charger there ;) these past few months have been extremely busy-perhaps the busiest ever. I’m so excited for my break and to visit my childhood dream of japan for cherry blossom season is the beat rejuvination I can imagine for my new decade of life. Stay tuned as my adventure unfolds!

Too short! This trip, albeit was supposed to be just a quick stop over, I didn’t realize how much I loved being in Japan, but using my Japanese everywhere was such a treat. It’s such a waste that my company doesn’t use my Japanese more, I hope someday I’ll have an opportunity to use it with my job, but if not, I’ll just have to make more trips to Japan!
The whole family came to see me off to Narita, and now I’m sitting in my upstairs cabin lounging back typing away on what I did the past few days. San Francisco, I’m coming home!

Today, after breakfast I headed to Asakusa to take some pictures of the temple there. Turns out that there was a pretty big Fireworks festival that night, so everyone had donned their yukatas for the event. Got some great photos, and did some shopping, then headed for my beloved Shibuya to hang out. There I got a call on the cell from Kano and we decided to meet up in Roppongi to go to the Roppongi Hills Observation deck. Again, great photo ops, and we then headed to dinner on her favorite, Ometesando Dori. We ate a great place called Las Chicas, and had some risotto and ravioli. After a nice long dinner we walked back to Shibuya because the weather was nice, and then after some more pictures headed for the subway to go home. Yet another great day seeing Tokyo.
