Day 2: Trains, Tokyo Temple, Asakusa, Shinjuku, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Building

We ride the train to Tokyo.

....and we ride the train everywhere else we go as well.

Tokyo Temple. 

We were able to do a session (with headphones for translation).

McDonalds for lunch.

It's better in Japan than the US...mostly because I share their belief that hamburgers are best with egg in it.

Alyssa appreciates the shrimp burger their menu also offered.

Next stop: Asakusa

Shops.

Buddhist temple.

You shake the tin outside the temple and a stick with a number will come out. The correspond the number to a box with the same number and inside you will find your fortune.  In a nutshell, mine said that my time is not not...just be patient. Poo.

Washing before entering the temple.

Snow cones...which taste much more like actual snow than a snow cone in the US. Very delicious melon flavor. Mmmm.

Mom and dad got lemon. (Yes, they ate yellow snow.)

Strange statue...

Waiting at the train station. Alyssa and I decided to swap cameras. We had a good time taking pictures. 

Tokyo Metropolitan building.

Went up high to see the view of the city.

Amazing! 

There were Windows around the entire building and all you could see was the huge city of Tokyo. It was beautiful.

Here's the busy city from ground level.

It was a late night. 

After sight seeing for the day, we ate some good authentic Japanese food at a restaurant in the train station.

I slept well.
