Tokyo Tower

17 april 2017 - Tokyo, Japan

Today I finally went to Tokyo Tower! The place I didn't enter when I was last there. I thought I'd need a full day here. I was wrong. In a bit over an hour, I had been to all the attractions. Still, it was fun, though. One Piece Tower that is!

There were all these figurine statues and a couple of attractions, some of them interactive too. There was one where you had to search around the "park" with a "Den Den Moshi", or Transponder Snail, for hidden glyphs. It's kinda stupid that I didn't take a picture of that one.. I'll check if I can find one real quick. And just act like it's my own mwuahahahah.

After that I went to the observation deck of the Tokyo tower. Which really wasn't that impressive anymore, as I already went to the skytree, which is way higher.
One thing was really weird though. There were braille plates all over the observation deck. Not sure if that's an English word, but I mean those thingies blind people use to read. What the heck would a blind man be doing at an observation deck of the Tokyo Tower where the only piece of entertainment would be sight.. If someone could elaborate. Please do.

After the tower, I went to another garden. One that was free. Recommended by.. someone at ASAB, not sure who it was.. Cherry blossoms were nearly gone, but I saw some scattered over a lake. Or piece of water anyway. And this reminded me of something. Supposedly, the canal I went to earlier, with the lots of cherry blossom trees. Is also called the Pink River, because after the peak perion, the river would be pink thanks to all of the petals that fell in.
There was a museum here as well; a museum of science. Might have been worthwile, but I got there too late.. So I just went back to the hostel and..
Made my way to ASAB once more!

I was thinking of checking out a different bar, but I had so much fun there last time. I decided I wanted to go there atleast on more time, to thank Yu (hehe).

This time, I did not stay as long as last time, but I did meet some new people. One of them was an Australian guy. With the best accent ever. When I asked him where he came from, he said: "I'm Australian, mate". And I thought that was awesome. We talked for quite a bit, and we actually sang some songs in the middle of the bar. Never done that before, but the strange thing was. Nobody gave a damn! The rest of the people in the bar, just minded their own business as if they didn't even hear us. 

Anyway, this guy urged me to go this place called the "Paper Moon". A karaoke bar. Not a karaoke box; a karaoke bar. I would probably be the youngest one there, ever, but it should be great! Seeing Japanese people sing English songs. And of course, for me it was another way to step out of my comfort zone. To sing for a completely unknown audience. I did not go there this evening, but I would surely go there another day.
