Tokyo

Tokyo was an electrifying place that is non-stop with cars, people and light.

Thanks to the Russian Embassy, we weren't able to leave Tokyo at all which was a blessing is disguise since we got to explore vitually every inch of the city. Each district was more interesting than the next with so much to see, do and taste. Some of our highlights from the city include:

Shibuya crossing. As mentioned before, it feels like 5000 people cross the street every 5 min.

Dinner at the Saito household. Tsubasa's family kindly took us in for the night, where we treated to hand made sushi and fresh crab.

Harajuku girls: human barbie dolls that conveine weekly to stand around.

Tsukiji Fish Market. This is where 4500 tonnes of fish are sold each morning. Then you can dine on the freshest sushi in the world in the small restaurants around the market for BREAKFAST.

The transit system, although expensive, moves so many people on a schedule that is never broken. 3.5 million people go through Shinjuku station every day!

Vending Machines, tucked into every nook and crany. So a beer, coffee (hot or cold) or any type of drink is never far away.

Sake museum in Niigata, with 300 sakes in a huge vending machine to sample.

The old temples of Nikko north of Tokyo.

And of course ACDC!

Thanks Steph and Tsubasa! Best hosts ever!
