This is Chris! Its finally my turn to write the blog! (: Well anyway, today we woke up fairly early, around 7:30AM to get ready for our tour around Tokyo. We left NYC at around 9 after breakfast and walked to the shangubashi train station to take the local train to Shinjuku, where we transfer to the JR line. The first thing we did in Tokyo was the sky tour, where we got on a double deck tour bus. W passed by the Tokuyo tower and went on the rainbow bridge on the tour bus. It was a sunny and hot day so most of the girls fell asleep on the bus.
After the sky tour, we got on to another train to asakusa, where we visited yet another temple. After the temple, we walked over near the Sky Tree, the tallest tower in the world currently. At around 1PM, we went on a boat tour in the rivers of Tokyo. We passed by many types of bridges and also a fish market. When we got off, we directly transfer to another boat to Odaiba.
In Odaiba, we saw a small version of the statue of liberty. Than we had free time until 5:30. Alec, Andy, Anna, Joey, Sensei, and I went to the science technology museum while the rest of the group went to Palette Town and walked around. The ones that went to the museum was going to buy the tickets individually but Morikawa sensei was so nice that he bought the tickets for us! We had so much fun in the museum that we forgot what the time was and couldn't do much afterwards because it was so interesting in there. From what I heard, the other group went on the ferris wheel, which is Japan's second largest one.
After Odaiba, everyone went our separate ways. Andy, Toyomi, and Jennifer went to Akiharaba. Sensei and Alec went back to NYC. Joey went to see his grandparents. While Alaina, Marisa, Niki, and I went to Harajuku to shop some more.
By the time we came back to NYC, it was already 9:30PM. We still had to shower and pack for the host family after we got back. Most of us did laudry and slept late. For the boys, we slept at around 1 in the morning. And that was the end of our day ＾～＾ Only 4 days left! D:
