Halloween in Tokyo/ People watching in Shibuya


This was my third Halloween in Tokyo.  The last time I celebrated Halloween in Tokyo was 3 years ago.  That time and the time before I went to a really big nightclub (Ageha).  I had fun both times but I had to stay out until very late those times that I went to the club.  Since my mother is here visting right now and I had plans to see her on Sunday, I knew that going to a club this time around was going to be impossible.  I decided to just go to Shibuya and people watch until I had to go home.  It was awesome!!!! I am actually very happy that I didn`t go to a club.  I was able to see a lot more interesting costumes just hanging out in Shibuya.  Some of the costumes definitely took a lot of time and effort and were quite impressive.  I really liked the dedication some people had with making their costume as unique as they could be.

my mom's visit


My mother actually had her trip to Japan planned months before I got offered my job.  She was able to get a really cheap ticket from Los Angeles to Haneda airport.   Her trip is on a tight schedule, so I have to do my best in order to coordinate with her.  I was able to meet up with her and my uncle one night after work for dinner.  I hadn`t seen my uncle in 7 years, so it was good to see him again.  He looks exactly the same!  We went for sushi and there was a touch screen in which you could specially order what you wanted and right before it would come to you, there would be a warning that your food was about to come.  The next day, during my lunch break, I met up with my mom, her friend, and her friend`s daughter for lunch.  The food was incredible.  Unfortunately, since I was on my lunch break, I had to eat really fast and I wasn`t able to enjoy the food.  I would like to go to that restaurant again when I have more time, so I can properly enjoy the food.

Shibuya---REUNION

On Sunday, I was able to finally meet up with a friend whom I haven`t seen in 4 years!!!!  It was so good to finally be able to catch up with her.  The last time I saw her was in London.  We have known each other since we were 6 years old!!!  When I met up with her in London, I didn`t have the idea for my blog yet.  The blog started a couple months later.  So, of course I needed to take her photo wearing my glasses.  Plus she happend to be the 7,700th person to wear them, so that was cool!  (I didn`t realize it until I made this post!)  I saw some random people dressed up on the streets in Shibuya (because Halloween is next week) so I decided to get their pictures.  Then I went for dinner with some couchsurfers.  It was a nice weekend.
