The last few days in Tokyo have been fun as well. Thursday I had my normal classes and then after class I went to do some shopping in (guess where) Harajuku! I finally found not one but two pairs of shoes that I liked and that fit, so it was a pretty successful afternoon. After shopping I went to this area called Hiroo to meet some people for dinner. The American government hotel is in Hiroo and a lot of foreigners in general live there, so it almost felt like home -- there were foreigners everywhere. We had dinner at this Mexican place which was really good but kind of expensive given the portion size. I had two teeny "burrito" that were basically just meat wrapped up in a tortilla, but it was still nice to have something other than Japanese food for a change!

On Friday classes were uneventful and I headed home after class to take a nap in preparation for going out that night. A bunch of us were planning on going to this event at a club we had been invited to on Facebook that had a good deal. We headed out to the club in Roppongi around 10 and hung out with some friends in the area before going in -- it was a lot of fun and I really liked the music, but they let in a ton of people and it got way too crowded. Earlier in the night my friend had been raving about the kebabs he had eaten in the area before, so I decided to try one around 3am -- it really was super delicious.

| First light in Roppongi... ~4am O.O |
By the time we headed home around 5am it was already really light outside -- the sun comes up really early here since there is no DST. I was in bed by 6 but couldn't sleep that late since my curtains let in so much light -- I got up around 11am, puttered around and ran/showered, and then took a long nap in the afternoon before going to a new place for dinner with some friends. We biked to and from dinner, which was an adventure because one of my friends hadn't ridden a bike in a long time, and I always end up with a bike that is too small for me -- you have to sign out the bike and get the key inside the dorm, so I can't look at the bikes to decide.. But, we all made it back from dinner in one piece and then I hung out in the kitchen for a while with some people who were having Chinese hotpot for dinner. It was a nice, relaxing night in but I didn't go to sleep until late since I had taken a long nap earlier! But, of course I couldn't sleep that late this morning, so I've just been packing and hanging out in my room since I woke up. It's almost time to go the airport -- I'm so excited! Unfortunately it's about a two hour trip there, but it's definitely worth it! Time to finish up packing and then head out! Matane~~
