It is the morning after an eventful day 5. We finally managed to sleep in until 9am. After lunch at the train station, I met up with Jennie, we chatted for a bit, and then we traveled to Harajuku. While we were shopping, it started to pour outside, much like it did that day at the museum. We walked from restaurant to restaurant, trying to find a refuge while the typhoon filled the sky with raindrops. We found a ramen restaurant where I ordered ramen served with corn and a square of butter. We returned to Ueno and shopped at Muji and IOIO. There were some shirts at IOIO that I really liked, but they were each $150 CAN. I couldn’t get myself to do it. Thankfully, I finally found something within my budget at Muji.

We splurged on foot massages. After the massages, we went back to Ameyoko to buy gifts, and ate ramen for dinner. We met up with the rest of the guys, and ate dinner at a Korean barbeque restaurant. Jennie and I entertained and confused our friends. After dinner, we sang karaoke at Big Echo until 4am.

Songs I now like to sing at karaoke: Copacabana, and You Lift Me Up.

We had 3.5 hours of sleep, and now we're headed toward Osaka.

Thanks Tokyo, you’ve been great!
