The bus was stuck in the traffic jam. I slept most of the high way part of the way but when driving through Tokyo streets I enjoyed the familiar view and folded some “homework” cranes… I still was not sure of my plans so I found my way to Tokyo Dome without any help)
The Tokyo Dome)
I also went to the park nearby and enjoyed it much better than Tokyo dome. It was raining hard and I enjoy walking in the rain )but now when I have to sit in the office with the fever I do not feel it was a good idea… what’s done is done)
In the afternoon I was supposed to meet bee and her bf in Asakusa, but they were running late , so I just stayed in asakusa on my own and explored the area better)
I still do not like the temple as I got bad omikuji there. One jap guy came up to me and started talking in English. I replied in Japanese but he continued in English trying to show off how well he speaks English. When I was able to get rid of him I went to meet the rest for bd party in Shinjuku.
Izakaya was nice and Lena looked gorgeous in her wedding aka party dress.
It was NewYear (at first i typed NY and then it hit me that i myself confused it with the guy XD) eve all over again, but this time the third half couple joined – next step in the relationship. UA girl (25), her husband (40 – doesn’t even look 35) and their baby boy (2). The new guy told other two all about visa issues, insurance, taxes, pension etc. the idea is – you need to get married asap cause it take slots of time to go through official procedures in Japan. After the party bee’s bf came up to me and said that if I have a guy I like I need to marry him really fast! On my remark that the guy I like is kind of slow he said that than such a guy is no good! Well, he has a point)
After the Shinjuku party we went to Roppongi. There was this whole night event – Roppongi art night. I was tired but I am glad that Bee was persistent about going to everyplace and checking out each place)
Surprisingly I got an omikuji! Even though I was planning on getting one next week, but you can not run from your destiny. And once again the saying had the menaing that I can relate to a lot. This time it said that to find my way back I need to listen. Listen to everything that is going on around me and to the “taisetsuna hito no koe”. It never said that I need to listen to my own voice XD I guess I am not reliable enough.
My camera died and I was using my cell to take photos, quality suffered but at least I got some memories captured on the film. For example a sunrise over Tokyo tower)
