Tokyo post 1

Hellooo!
I've been in Tokyo since Monday,, and I'm loving it! There's always the thing of getting used to being stared at, but mostly the people are so nice here :)
The first day we were super tired, we had to change planes in Vienna, and our Tokyo flight was 3,5 h late, so the total waiting time was 7,5 h! And I didn't get much sleep on the plane, so I was pretty beat. But we went to the super market and made food and watched some TV and went to sleep at about 8 pm :D The next morning I woke up up at 5.30 and couldn't sleep anymore so I just read a magazine and surfed the internet :D Later, when everyone was awake we went to Akihabara to buy one of those one time only cameras that were really popular in the 90's. After that we went to Shibuya so that I could get my extensions :) loving them, so loooooong ;D And the girl who did them for me was so funny!! She's the same I had in December, she's super sweet :) And then we checked out some shops in 109, went to karaoke and came home at 11.30. On Wednesday we went to Harajuku but it was raining so much, we didn't stay long. I managed to buy shoes, a hat and 2 t-shirts though ;D Later we made pancakes :) On Thursday we checked out the second hand shops here in Koenji where we're staying. I bought sandals from Listen Flavor, but all of the vintage shops were really expensive :/ even jeans shorts would go for atleast 3000 yen :( so we went home and made food and started drinking. We went to a local bar we also went to last year, and had a great time! On Friday we again went to Harajuku because the weather was better, it was really humid though, so not very comfortable. But the guy in the Sex Pot Revenge shop was super nice! So cute! I chatted with him for a while and he gave me a flyer to go to Decadance when he heard I like to party LOL. Theeen we went to Shinjuku to eat and to look at the awesome views from the Office Government Building. It's free, so if you ever go to Tokyo, you should definitely go! We were in Koenji at around 9.30 and found a cute band playing outside the station. They were so good!! http://www.monograman.com/ They are playing again today, so we're gonna go watch :) Today we're going to Ueno park for a picnic.
Catch you later!
