Well I don't think I can eat horse or whale meat but if there are oysters around....count me in! Too bad your wasabi and pickles went bad. I don't like hot stuff but I hear their wasabi is the best in Japan. We met some friends of my sisters that she knew online (They got her a ticket for Untitled tour...not me though...darn) and we went to Aibas family restaurant but it was full....darn it. One of the girls said which window was Masaki's old room above it. Lol....we took lots of pictures outside (and some inside of the Christmas tree decorated with Arashi streamers and with the animated character that was in Aibas Christmas movie). Johnnys was fun and easy to get in and out but the real fun area was Harajuku! There were many places selling Arashi pictures and great items! I got a keyring with Ohno ....two pictures one being Ohno holding a toy fish....So cute! I would love to find places their dramas were filmed or the studios they use....do they have tours? My sister and i did do the tour line to buy goods....that was confusing (since we could not read the signs) but we slowly caught on and we got everything we came for. I was just starting to figure out the train and subway system when we had to leave. We dont have that where i live in Florida. Went to Tokyo tower...fun but a restaurant we went to seemed to snub us....we were seated and given menus but nothing else. They never came back. Waited on other people around us but even when i caught their attention they went somewhere else! We left. My nephew was with us so we went to the Pokemon store....He was very happy. We went to Shibuya and sorta got lost....My sister refused to try to ask for help...So I got us back in my broken...horrible Japanese. Lol. I never felt unsafe while I was there...even at night and alone. I fell in love with corn soup and egg salad sandwiches over there....They taste sooooo much better there! The smoking areas outside were really interesting.....I wonder how successful they will be on that when the Olympics get there? Anyway, this is fun talking about our trips. Take care!😊
