Tokyo Hands

Today was an adventure to say the least - I feel like I've been at Disneyland I have walked so much! We started out today for the train station because we wanted to go to a store called "Tokyo Hands" which from what we had heard was sort of a Tokyo Target... First challenge was looking for a cash machine to get some money. We don't have our local bank cards yet so we are still using our US ones... Chris tried many different machines with no luck so we ended up walking to a different neighborhood where there was a bank machine we knew worked. Once we had some money in hand we went for lunch... this time at a KFC... can't say we're being very adventurous... Oh well, the food tasted different if that helps... We got on the train and headed to Shibuya.

Can you say busy??? Got there and I think we were joined by every young, trendy person in Tokyo... apparently this is a BIG shopping area. Saw Tower Records, Gap, and a Disney store - BTW Stitch is HUGE here... like bigger than Mickey huge... Got to the store and it was monstrous and has just about anything that you need. We got several things and arranged for delivery for Thursday.

Made it back to Azabu Juban on a different train since we couldn't find where we started from... thinking that might have been an easier route anyway. Stopped for a Starbucks treat (again not very adventurous) and walked home in the rain...

Now we're home and ready for the evening, gotta get everyone ready for school tomorrow!
