Shinjuku

It took us awhile to get to Tokyo from Daegu. We took a bus to Busan, a train to Narita airport, and another train into the city. We wandered around looking for our hotel until a nice man pointed us in the right direction. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Japanese addresses actually make sense, and we found our hotel by counting to the right number. We settled in and headed out for Shinjuku, Tokyo's business district. We were headed for the Tokyo Metropolitan Tower, which provides views of the city. Bobby loves to visit towers, and as an added bonus, this one was free. We had gelato (for me) and beer (for Bobby) in the observation lounge. Afterwards, we wandered out to find dinner. We were disappointed to find a lot of stool or standing restaurants, but eventually we found a sit down place with just about everything on the menu. It was like Japanese tapas. We indulged.
