Goodbye to Tokyo

I got up.  I ate a doughnut.  We left for the train station.  We went on two trains.  I played video games most of the time.  We got to our hotel in Hiroshima.  It’s big.  We saw where the A-bomb blew up.  We saw the peace museum.  The museum made me feel sad because the city was destroyed and many people died.  I thought the message was to make sure that never happened again.  It's a good message. 


 

Double Trouble

 I didn’t write my post for Thursday, so today I’m going to write both Thursday and Friday.  I will combine the two days, so it’s going to seem packed.  I woke up and then I woke up.  I ate a doughnut.  Then I ate another doughnut.  I went to the fish market.  We ate sushi at the fish market.  It was Jacob’s birthday on the third day.  We went to the emperor’s palace twice and saw the garden once.  We saw a shrine called Meiji-jingu and left a prayer for Tiffany.  We saw mom’s aunt Fumiko and ate lunch at Doutor.  We ate lunch at a crazy place called Harajuku.  We went to Akihabara and Jacob got lots of buttons for his Birthday.  We went to the top of a tall building in Shinjuku.  We spent a long time looking for a place to eat in Shinjuku.  We at Shabu-shabu for dinner on Jacob's birthday.

Jet lag

Sooooooooo tired.  Japan time is 16 hours
ahead. We rode trains all over the place.  We saw tons of
cherry blossoms.  I had a Japanese breakfast to start off the day.  then, we bought train tickets.  the ticket vacuum thingamabob was AWESOME.  you put it in, and it zoomed out on the other side.  we went to Ueno park and saw lots of cherry blossoms.  after that we went to the Tokyo national museum.  We saw all kinds of art, armor, and weapons.  then we got ice cream and went to Akihabara.  At Akihabara there were all kinds of electronics. we saw modern smartphones and tablets, but the best parts were all of the little thingys like wires, buttons, moters and all kinds of small stuff.  Then, we got dinner and went to bed.
