Well, I've been sick again since Friday, so this time I actually went a bought a mask to wear out in public to hide my germs from everyone (the good old Japanese way right lol) But anyway, on Saturday, me and some of the other people in my dorm went to see the Tokyo tower and we had to past through Ginza to get there. Ginza is one of the cleanest places I've seen in Japan.....even though most of the cities are really clean in Japan if you compare it to America. But one of the things I can't stand is how much everybody smokes! And then they allow people to smoke in restaurants and stuff and I just can't stand the smell. That's one of the things I really hate about Japan is how much everyone smokes here.
Anyway, yeah, Ginza is really clean and since I went during the night, the city was all lit up and pretty! It's like a clean version of New York or something lol! At Tokyo tower, we first went up to the normal level watch tower and it was pretty cool! You could even see Yokohama from the Tower! (However, I was kind of disappointed because when I went to Korea and went to their observatory, they had these machine binocular things that allowed you to look even closer to the city....it would have been nice if the Tokyo tower had that) By the time we finished looking at that level, we wanted to go to the first level (or the special observatory that cost 400 yen extra to go in) but it was really late and as soon as we went to the ticket booth they were closing, lol so the Japanese girl that we were with (her name's Chika) lied and said this was out last night in Japan and we really wanted to see all of Tokyo and we were looking forward to this all day and what not, so they made an exception for us lol!!!! (Good job chika lol!!!) In the special observatory, we could see a lot farther away and I got some cool pictures.....what was really awkward though was that in the special observatory, most of the people there were couples lol so it was kind of weird lol!!!
