Today we had to be at school at 10 am. It was the first day where I had to ride the train on my own. No matter how insane the map of the metro/ subway looks... it's honestly not that bad. After our orientation, the small groups had a scavenger hunt. Sample items on the list: giant egg, big echo, take a photo with a police man, take a photo with a crazy costumed person from Harajuku, eat a weird lunch. There were so many items on the list I am not sure how we were supposed to do them all in just three hours. Our group opted more for the sight-seeing route and just chilled. We tried to get a couple of items on the list, but ... I mean you would stop too if you saw delicious crepes at Harajuku, right? We took a プリクラ too! We chose the massive eye option, and I looked like a bug :)
Afterward we had free time, where I went off with big group. This was where the frustration began. No one really knew where to go, or what they wanted to see. This includes me. I just wanted to explore, but this exploration HAD to have a purpose according to some people. In the end everyone broke off, and I didn't really want to go to Akihabara, so I went home.
Unfortunately the jet lag is still in effect and I am exhausted at random times of the day.
SEE THE CREPES IN HARAJUKU ARE DELICIOUSSSSS!!!!! and if u go to akihabara (or shibuya) there is the best store in the world. once u get to know more japanese students ask them to take you to Don Quijote (obvi this is all in katakana but ya) all the best gifts ive ever gotten for ppl are from there. so much fun to go w ppl and take pix of the weird ass items they have. omg im about to die cause i want to be in japan gonna stop now.
