Then we went back to downtown area to see the imperial palace. Except it closed 5 mins before. The Japanese guard was not willing to bend the rules. So we went back to harajuku and chilled a bit with a drink.
This started with a trip to India with a Rotary Group. We vaccinated kids against polio and saw some sights along the way. And as usual I had done very little research about India, so really, what DID I get myself into? The rest of my travels are in the same vein, I often have NO IDEA what to expect. I think I prefer it that way!

Day 12 Tokyo
We started the day with a late breakfast, a trip to the local cat cafe and then we kinda figured out the subway system and went all the way across town to the Senjo ji and Skytree.

Day 11- Tokyo
Today we went to breakfast, then walked around Harajuku where we're staying. Bought many gifts mostly Hello Kitty and then ate some crepes.
Then stopped at home to drop things and met some ladies who were starring in Dream Girls! Unfortunately didn't start until wed when we have to leave. Then we saw a temple, and walked around the park. Saw bonsai trees.

Day 10 Busan to Tokyo
Flying to Tokyo! Got a little bumpy but made it to Narita... Asked about taxi and was going to be $250 USD, well that equivalent. So the train it was. Was very easy and we got off at Harajuku, walked down Takeshita street and found our Airbnb around the corner. We're right in it! Danielle found a fun place for dinner, it was cook your own and very delicious.
Tokyo is so fun!
Exploring tomorrow and possibly a tour.

Day 9 - Busan
Fun day with Sarah, Cathy, and Danielle. First we went over to the APEX building and walked along a path and saw a mermaid statue. Then to the Buddist temple. It was raining but it was still busy with lots of people. It's really beautiful!
After that we were pretty soaked so we changed at home then back out to get a dinosaur chocolate egg. See video on fb.

Day 8 Seoul to Busan
Train to Busan then got into our Airbnb. It's tiny but very nice. We walked to the beach and there was a bunch of sand castles!
We took the subway to meet sarah and she took us to a place they call penis magkeoli for dinner. Really good! Lots of carved penises. We ate some traditional foods and flavored rice wine. So good.
Then we went over to a micro brew pub and sat near the window looking out to the beach and bridge. It was really cool. Called it a night aroind 1:30 am. Which is tough cause I think we're all kinda jet lagged or just in general exhausted from all the travel. But we had fun. So much fun!
