DAY 13: Our last full day in Japan :(

Just me and Linda for a day spent in Ikebukuru and Harajuku. By this time
we were both pretty spent.  But I have to say, this is the first time I've been
on a trip where I can honestly say, I wasn't really ready to come home.

Normally, after a long vacation, you kinda long to sleep in your own bed,
and do things in a familiar way.  At least I do.  But Japan was so much
fun that I really didn't want it to end. To know that after today we had 10+
hours of flying and traveling to do, all to come back home and dive right
back into work and all the responsibilities that go with life, was just plain
depressing.

That's not to say that I wasn't still super happy to have had the experience
and been able to see and do all the things we did. An A+ trip.

Thanks to my lovely Linda for all her hard work planning the trip, and
thanks to my good friends Tom, Jim and Kris for meeting us and
sharing the experience.  Let's do it again soon!

I love the girl in the middle.  Such a cool custom kit.








Turquoise Domo-kun?




The store down these steps was awesome.  We almost didn't go down.  Nothing but
real vintage 80s punk and new wave clothes. Not remakes, real vintage, and seriously
unique.




I tried to get Linda to buy these.








For dinner we went up to the 8th floor of the Lumine Dept Store building.  This is how posh it is up there.
But this is normal for Japan.  Several restaurants and lots of choices.  We chose, of course, Okonomiyaki
for our last meal! 


Carefully prepared in front of us by dudes like this.
