Greetings and Salutations
What a day! Today (Saturday) was my first big adventure out on the train system by myself.
Started the day at Doutour (its a coffee-shop chain around here) with a small cappuccino (notice the size comparison with my book and keys). Next it was off on the trains first to Ikebukuro, then to Shibuya, where I met up with an old friend, Megumi. We went to a party for one of her friends, then hung out in that part of Tokyo for the afternoon. Later, we were walking around, and decided to go down by the Tamagawa river (actually "gawa" means "river" so we were really saying "Tama river river"). As we were leaving the riverside, a group of strangers called us over to their barbecue and asked us if we wanted anything. The next hour or so was one of the most random i've ever had. Nothing like hanging out under a train bridge with a bunch of Japanese people (whose names I still cannot remember) eating barbecue and trying to keep a fire going with whatever we can find nearby.
After Megumi and I were so frozen that we could barely pick up anything, we decided to bid a fond farewell to our new friends and continue on with our day. After a dinner of Tonkotsu Ramen (pork base... mmmmm) we went to some coffee shop in Shibuya. Now, as I write this, I am back in my little room, ready to go sleep and wake up tomorrow to do it all over again.
Keep it real

I hope you had fun! I would imagine it's comforting knowing some people there already.
miss you!
What! Strangers? How do you know they weren't ax murders or something?! You're right, that IS pretty random! Stay safe!
