Sunday 23rd

Today is komori’s (one of Harukas cousins) 5th birthday. And for breakfast this morning we had natto (fermented soy beans)grilled fish , rice, ham and cucumber. It was a very intresting breakfast and I didn’t eat much, basically just the rice and the ham and cucumber. We just hung around home for while playing the hand clapping games again as well as playing on the electronic bucking bull…. They were very surprised that I could stay on at the highest level, my height and still being able to touch the groud when on it probably helped me with that). We then after many photos walked back to the main street of Shinjuku where we went up into the viewing platform of some government building. Where I brought a model shinkansen (bullet train) for kaleb. As well as several other gifts. The next place we went to was basically the Tokyo equilevent of the Brisbane science center…well that’s the best thing I can think of to compare it to. Anyway it was really cool. They had full body imprint pin boards and I got to be inside a bubble. And they had heaps of logic puzzles which were fairly easy. When we finially left there we went for lunch at an Italian buffet restaurant and then to a 100 yen shop and back to the dorm. It was a very fun filled busy day.
