Day 17 - Tokyo Day 2

Ah man, there's such a wooooooorld of difference in levels of comfort between Toyoko Inn and Weekly Mansion O_O

Anyway, back on track! Today we went to south-east Tokyo named Daiba.
About 5 weeks ago they erected a 1:1 size model of a Gundam there to celebrate Gundam's 30th anniversary.


It was really huge and quite a nice view was to be had.

After the oversized tin can (just kidding ofcourse) we went hunting for some yukata's. Yesterday I mailed back and forth with Niels for some names of stores we could go to. I only got one, the bazaar at Harajuku. No problem we thought, on the Yamanote line to Harajuku, 30 mins later arriving there. Then we had a short walk down the street, only to see that the store was closed on thursdays (oh noes D: ).

Well after that small set-back, I luckily had a back-up plan with me. Only 5 minutes away by train there was a shop in Shibuya. I'm 100% sure it was the smallest shop I've ever seen in my entire life xD .

That put asside, the personel of the shop was very nice to us and one of the ladies even spoke fluent English, so asking for certain details was no problem at all :)

After half an hour George, Gwen and myself exited the shop with our yukatas (finally the search was over :p).

Out of the blue: A Belgian waffle chain!
