Tom`s Place!

We arrived at Shizuoka and met the lovely Tom at the station. Shizuoka is a busy little town near to Tokyo, it had just the right mix of not being to big, but have a really nice and compact little town centre, with nice shops and places to eat and a reconstructed castle.
Tom`s house was a bit out of town and he took us on a bus (a new experience in Japan!) after a lovely cheap but very tasty meal. Tom`s apartment was lovely and had views of mt Fuji (we were told, but it was too hazy!), it even had a 100 yen shop nearby (Thankyou thank you Tom for showing us the wonders of 100 yen shops!). We bought some amazing bargains and then headed back to town where we had another lovely (this time chinese) meal and then played in the arcades!! We played this drumming game that aparently is a big craze, and loved it, we may become addicted now! We also had our pocture taken in this cool cool booth where you can hang on ladders and have different scenery and then you get the see the pictures on a screen and doodle on them and then they get made into stickers!! It was so much fun, after and ice cream and a beer on Tom`s balcony we went to sleep!
