Tokyo part 2

I thought I`d (hannah) write about the Tokyo mishaps Liam mentioned. Well it was awful! We were both so excited about Tokyo and when we saw rain from the train window (we rode all the from Hiroshima and it rained the whole way there, I think the whole of Japan was in that storm!), we were even quite excited about getting to use our raincoats for the first time in the trip. We were jumping about and splashing in the deep puddles with our rucksacks on for the first few minutes, but then we realised that our bags were getting wetter and wetter and then wondered if they were waterproof enough to withstand the downpour, they got heavier and heavier as our map turned to pulp and we got loster and loster! We walked around the surrounding streets for ages until I turned round to talk to shout to Liam over the rain and slipped on a grid in the pavement. It wouldnt have been so bad if I hadnt have had my super heavy wet bag on my back, but I did and so I was then limping. We asked a man in a little Mr Miagi-esque shop for directions and he got out his monacle and an antique map and pointed us back where we came from, we finally got to the hostel but realised that our bags werent waterproof enough and everything was soaked through including our passports which we dont normally keep in our bags, but did just this once! My raincoat wasnt even enough for the rain! Anyway, we`re here now and we couldnt face a dorm after the harrowing day, so paid extra for a private room.
Today we went to see the Palace and the Sony building which had an AMAZING 3d aquarium in it, its all for free, because you have to pass through floors of their merchandise (amazing new cameras and tvs and wierd new earphones) to get to the extra special 3D cinema aquarium where you wear 3d glasses and it was really cool and very 3D!
We also visited Shibuya where we saw the famous Shibuya crossing where hundreds of people cross paths at the traffic lights of a junction (its quite immense), we even did the extra extra touristy thing and watched it ffrom Starbucks with an overpriced coffee. We also went to Harijuku (yay!), which wasnt a very good idea because we went when all the kids were still at school, so we didnt see much dressing up, but it was still cool, although a little (a lot) like Camden. We also found the biggest Daiso (100 yen) store in Japan, it was great!
Well thats all from Tokyo for now, from Hannah with a sore toe
