Today I went many places

Today I went to Zozoji shrine, the foot of tokyo tower, Roppongi, Ebisu, Shibuya, Akasaka. I liked Ebisu. Shibuya, to me, was boring, city-like, not unique. Roppongi felt very pretentious. I ate good Indian food there. I think that maybe I didn't get the full feel for Akasaka.

Ebisu reminded me a bit of La Jolla. There were also shops there that sold things for relatively low prices. I bought some things I didn't need, like a charger power shirt that I can wear on gamedays. Today wasn't that exciting, I didn't practice much Japanese, and I spent a lot of money. However, I went to many places and got a feel for the different neighborhoods, which is something that I want to continue doing.

The Highlight of my day was without question catching the end of a service at the Tokyo Baptist Church. Very fun/interesting.

Tomorrow begins the first whole week of intensive language classes, I hope that my Japanese improves, and that I practice it away from class.
