Happy Holidays from the Waseda Bear!

Interesting food

There is always plenty of amusing and downright funny food in Tokyo.
1st pic: Look ma, Bollywood has invaded Tokyo, and they even have their own Masala flavored chips.
2nd pic: Yum, "Asse" chocolates!

2 weekends ago, I went to the Waseda-Keio final baseball game at Meiji-jingu stadium! It was so crazy, loud and fun! Waseda won, ofcourse. ^_~*
1st pic: In the student section of the stadium.
2nd Pic: I've never been to a baseball game before, the field is so big!
3rd Pic: The huge Waseda sign. It says "Let's eat Keio!"

Last week, a group of us went to Harajuku and Shibuya for the day.
1st pic: Had to grab a Marion crepe on my way to Shibuya!
2nd pic: The view at night fromt Shibuya Station, looking at the biggest crosswalk in Japan, maybe the world...about 100,000,000 people cross it every day.
3rd pic: The "America" store! ^_~

Last night, my host family took me to the Tokyo Opera City in Hatsudai for a concert! I snuck this picture of the main concert hall. It's so beautiful, and spacious. It was so big, that it didn"t feel like Tokyo at all, cause in Shinjuku, there is never so much space alloted for a building that isn't used to the last inch.

Yesterday, I went to the Tokyo University for Fine Arts and Music for my Arts Practicum class, and toured the different departments. It was so amazing, the work was so gorgeous, its hard to believe people my own age made them. I was really surprised that they have so many arts departments, from metal sculpture to weaving to traditional Japanese lacquerware. I forgot my cellphone, so i didn't get any pictures. I'm going there again next week, so I'll take some then. ^_^

I really want to go to a onsen soon...I think it's cause the weather is turning colder.

later
