alright

So I lied about getting the pics up tonight and such.

The internet decided to, of course, crap out and cease loading a damn thing.

AT LEAST TOMORROW I'M OUT OF CLASS EARLY.... for some reason I feel like you guys don't believe me.

No really. Tomorrow I will bombard you with photos. Tokyo Tower will have its own post because I swear I took 50 pictures walking up to that thing... We didn't go to the top of it (because that would have cost money), but it's still pretty lovely to just walk to the thing. We went at night so it was all lit up all nice and gold. c:

Also today I made this really quick yakisoba with spinach (which they sell whole and on the root here), carrot, garlic, soy sauce and fresh shrimp! I took the time to get shrimp with the shell on and raw, and I don't know the exact weight of what I got, but it was a pretty nice serving of shrimp and it only cost me 190 yen or so? Plus oh gosh it tasted so good freshly cooked and tender like that mmmmmm.

Ooops

I had not realized it had been a month since I've updated this???

Holy shit it's almost my birthday.

Also I went to Tokyo and I went to a concert on April 2nd in Shinsaibashi and last weekend I went to look at cherry blossoms with people drink booze with friend-ish people in a park in the vicinity of cherry blossoms. You'll get more details later! Probably later tonight because goddamn I do not want to study kanji.

Also at that cherry blossom thing, I will never bitch about pigeons or crows trying to steal food ever again because there were MOTHER FUCKING HAWKS diving and stealing food at that park oh my god.

So as a treat and for everyone to meet each other, a ridiculously huge group from my Seminar House went to this dessert buffet in Kyoto.  

Train tickets here are a bit pricey. That's one way. 

Makino Station! It's very small. 

Out the windooow on the train.

Best coffee shop name ever. 

Inside Sweets Paradise! 

I REGRET NOTHING.

But only that near plate was mine. 

The dessert half of the buffet *U*

I really love these food displays outside of restaurants. And they're everywhere too. The food's fake though, don't worry. 

Hey look lanterns. 

AXOLOTLS

Peep peep motherfuckers.

I ended up visiting this shrine again with my Religion in Japan class; MORE FOX STATUES ASDJKASNDKAS

I really like this spot *u*

Nyaaa~ :3

Shrines upon shrines.

They're all separate shrines to separate versions of Inari.

I tend to forget a lot that videos don't automatically rotate like photos. Sorry about that.

I forget again that videos don't rotate here. Woops. 

It was a cool statue though. 

Guys. Guys. 

SACRED TOADS.

And leaving through the back way!
