Kawagoe

My friend and I went to Kawagoe 2 weeks ago and a man at the train station told me that I needed to come back on the weekend of the 19th and 20th because there was going to be a big festival that has been going on for over 360 years!!! With that in mind, I knew I HAD to come back. While walking around my friend and I met the most amazing people. I had them wear my glasses and next thing I knew we were drinking sake with them, got a scarf with their town name, ate traditional food with them, got to wear a yukata, was invited into 2 different homes, and was part of the parade with their mountain car! Such an amazing day. Thank you to everyone who participated and those who made it such a wonderful day. Thanks for being such a great tour guide and friend. Your generosity and kindness today was very much appreciated! Domo Arigato!!!!!

cat cafe

My friends and I were going to go to an Alice in Wonderland cafe, but it didn't look the best and it was pretty pricey. So, one friend suggested we go to a cat cafe. I have been to one in South Korea, and it was alright....nothing really anything to write home about. This one we went to in Shinjuku, well, ummmm, no words. It looked like the space used to be a day care center for kids or something like that. The set up was soooo bizarre. There were 52 cats in the "cafe". Mind you, it didnt look like a cafe at all!!! Anyways gotta try things once right. Thanks to those who participated.
