Stu-Art: Day 7: Dude Where’s My Typhoon?

As a typhoon warning had been declared yesterday, we didn’t actually plan any activities for today beyond doing some washing and sleeping in. We definitely needed the sleep in, but by the time we got up at 1pm there was neither sight nor sound of any typhoon. In fact, other than it being overcast, the weather was really nice. So we went across the road and had breakfast/lunch at a café and did our washing and just relaxed in our room for most of the day. Then David W and David Z came down and said they would like to visit Shabuya (which would henceforth be referred to as sha-BOO-YEAH!), which I had never heard of but apparently is the place where they have the intersection that you always see on television where everyone walks everywhere at once when the lights change. We didn’t need much convincing that this would be cool, so off we went. It was actually even cooler than I had imagined, as it was Halloween and everyone was in fancy dress! After walking around like idiot tourists for a while we found an English theme pub that Leigh had been to before and stayed there for a while before heading home.

Also, today Leigh and I realised we have an extra day in Tokyo! We thought we left for Hiroshima tomorrow, but in fact we leave Tuesday! Woo!
