We started by heading out to Asakusa, to visit our first temple. It was beautiful. The walk through to the temple was lined with shops selling all sorts, from food to souvenirs. We stopped off and had a beautiful fudge ice cream! Omnomnom!
The temple was beautiful. There was a burning fire at the entrance which you are supposed to waft towards you (so the smoke goes on your body) to bring you good health.
Then, inside you can pray and light candles. There were so many people!
We got a bite to eat for lunch, I had gyoza. It was so nice! The food over here is exquisite, there hasn't been anything that I haven't liked so far.
Afterwards, we headed back to Ueno and went to Ueno Zoo. PANDAS! AHHHHH!
Only 600 yen entrance fee (about 5 pounds) and we got to see pandas, tigers, gorillas, a lot of animals that weren't in Australia!
I have to say though these animals didn't look anywhere near as happy as the ones in Australia. I guess they're treated better there.
Finally we headed back to Akihabara, played in a few arcades, got some dinner (Egg, fried breadcumb pork and rice! Delicious!) and then got a crepe afterwards, which had chocolate, ice cream, and cream in it. SOOOO GOOD!
Last day tomorrow and it'll probably be the best, time to go to Harajuku and hang out with the Harajuku girls!
