Japan!

we arrived in Tokyo on sunday evening after a 13 hour flight on delta.  remember the days when seats on airplanes didn't have the nice headrests and everyone watched the same couple of terrible movies on a handful of large screens?  delta is into vintage airline travel, so that's what we got on this trip.  but all went well, and customs was a breeze - not exactly a ton of foreigners stopping in Tokyo at the moment.  e navigated us through three train connections to get to Higashi Kurume, where we're staying with friends for the first couple of days.

monday morning we made our way to CAJ, the school where e attended 8th grade.  on the way, we made a stop at mister donut, where we ran into e's camp counselor from one summer.  after looking around CAJ, we spent the rest of the day wandering around Ikebukuro, Harajuku, and Shinjuku.


lunch in Ikebukuro:


some crazy t-shirts for sale in Harajuku:
