Shibuya!!!

So our very enthusiastic sponsors were kind enough to take us to get cell phones on Saturday. Then, Saturday night, we all got on the train and headed to Tokyo. It was a really long ride, but really interesting. Kids in Japan go to school on Saturdays too, so we saw a ton of kids wearing their school uniforms around the stations at around 6pm. We got off at a station called Shibuya in the downtown area. It is also called Shibuya Crossing because it is an intersection where five streets intersect. It is amazing. It was really reminiscent of Times Square. There are so many people, but it is strange because it doesn’t feel crowded. Even when there was standing room only on the trains, you had plenty of personal space. We walked around and did a lot of people watching…there are some crazy styles out there, even more so than NY if you can believe that! So we decided to find a place to eat. We just walked around until we found a restaurant building. What they do, is have a giant display case that has really intricate plastic replicas of their dishes. Each section of the case designates a different restaurant and the floor of the building that it is on. We went to the 7th floor of this one and basically decided by looking at the plastic food what we would order. I got some egg battered chicken served with a salad with ginger dressing which came as a combination with crab fried rice with crab croquets on top. Everything was really delicious and I am realizing that I love all kinds of Japanese food! I already bought my Slimfast so I can have my food and stay on top of things too! Jessica (sponsor) took some great pictures that I will post as soon as I get them.
