Tokyo

I don’t know how many of you have seen the Kill Bill movies, but I was really excited to go to Tokyo and pretend I was Beatrix Kiddo. We got up early and caught the train from Yokohama to Tokyo. The trains here are amazing. Everyone gets their tickets and waits in single file line for their train. When the train arrives, everyone waits for the arriving passengers to get off before everyone boards. Along with regular cars they have cars exclusively for women, children and senior citizens. We got to Tokyo and it was raining, which reminded me of home. For those of you that have never been to Tokyo it is like a giant NYC except in Japanese. They have the biggest intersection and crosswalk in the world! It was nuts. We found a few temples and had lunch at a really yummy restaurant that reminded me of St. Honore except with a self-serve salad bar that was SO GOOD! It was super green and organic and such a nice change from all the foods I have been eating the last 4 moths. Tokyo had a 4 story H&M and so you can imagine my excitement as we ran toward it! We visited the China town in Tokyo and then headed back to the ship in Yokohama.
