Festival in Asakusa

I should've posted this a while ago, but I got sidetracked.  2 Saturdays ago I went to the biggest Matsuri(festival) in Japan.  There were lots of people and it lasted 2.5 days.  My friends and I also went to a tall building nearby for some drinks.  We got to enjoy some great views of the area.  It was a good day.

Tokyo Disneyland

Last week after I work I went with a co-worker to Tokyo Disneyland.  They have a special ticket price if you want to enter the park after 6pm, so thats what we did.  People were already leaving the park at that time, so it was great.  The lines weren't as bad as they are on the weekends, so it was a great time to go.  My co-worker was too tired at shocked on how crowded the park was (it wasn't even THAT crowded) so he left after a couple hours.  I wanted to get my money's worth, so I stayed until the park closed and in 4.25 hours I was able to go on 14 rides/attractions.  It was a great way to enjoy my time after work.  Next time I'll go to Disney Sea!

Drinks on Saturday night (Japan)

I wanted to go on a bike ride on Saturday, but the weather was absolutely terrible.  So, I just went out for some drinks with some co-workers in Todoroki until the last train.  Good times.

Monthly CS meeting (Tokyo, Japan)

The last time I went to a CouchSurfing meeting in Japan was last year, so I decided that I should go this week.  It wasn't as crowded as the meeting last year so, it was much better.  In the beginning of the meeting the dominate language was Spanish and that was great because I was able to practice speaking Spanish. I had a great time and met some cool people.  Until next time!
