Thursday we set off for the Imperial Palace . Travelling with Justin has a distinctive
advantage... I do not have worry at all as to which train to catch, I let him
figure it all out, and I follow, just tapping my Suica card as I enter, and exit.
As the trains rushed past me I thought of how this gave me such ease. It is
always good to travel with someone who has a different skill set than you do.
The Imperial
Palace , where the Majesties the
Emperor and Empress reside, is situated in the middle of Tokyo . The palace is surrounded by a water-filled
moat and tree-covered grounds, a precious taste of nature within the bustling
metropolitan city.
Even though it was a very
windy day, It was still lovely to walk through the gardens.
With two people who love
their cameras as much as Justin and I do, we do tend to get a lot of photos of
each other taking photos.
After delicious lunch, we hit
up one or two of the ops shops on Justin's list.
To ensure my sanity and
Jarvis's good behaviour I still insist on naps during the day while we are on
holidays. I find it also helps me. I get to relax and enjoy a book or three.
While Justin heads out, child free to take photos.
Thursday night was all about
Jarvis and Justin, we headed to the electronics district. Akihabara is a
district in central Tokyo that
is famous for its many electronics shops. In more recent years, Akihabara has
gained recognition as the center of Japan 's otaku culture, and many
shops and establishments devoted to anime and manga are now dispersed
among the electronic stores in the district.
The boys spent ages playing
games. While I alternated between being overwhelmed by the noise and being
bored, having no interest in games at all.
Back in Harajuku, we ended the
night with a massive sugar rush. We bought fairy floss for Jarvis, but after
one or two bits he was done. Justin and I sat there eating the rest, until we
both asked ours selves why or why where we eating this? Fairy floss always does
that to me. I am attracted to it soft spun sweetness, only part way in I fell
sick and think gross I am eating pure sugar. I think we all had more fun
watching ti being made than eating it.
