Last full day in Japan

The dream must come to an end. This morning I met with my friend from high school who manages the restaurant at an Andaz Hyatt hotel in Tokyo. He gave me a tour of his workplace and we enjoyed the brunch buffet in a rather ridiculously fancy fashion. Private dining room on the 51st floor overlooking the city.

After breakfast I took the metro to Odaiba - which is an artificial island that was built into an entertainment district. There's a nice seaside park and an indoor theme park called Joypolis that I had fun at for a few hours. Think of it as interactive rollercoasters. Like riding a rollercoaster and playing a video game at the same time.

Afterwards I headed to Harajuku where there's a four story Daiso, which is a 100 yen store. I was in search for a cheap duffel bag to carry some of the things I bought.

I then headed to the Tokyu Food Show to eat a late lunch and grab some curry mixes to bring back home. Every department store in Japan has these food markets in their basements. The fancier the department store, the fancier the food market. It's how they show off. It's actually cheaper to buy lunch or dinner here than at many restaurants, and the quality is amazing. I really love this place. You can find any type of food you want. These pictures only represent 1/5th of the amount of fresh food available. It's very easy to get lost in here!

I spent the evening packing for my flight tomorrow. This is the last post I'll write unless something unexpected happens on the way to the airport. So thanks for reading!
