I HEART Tokyo

I love Tokyo! I have visted Tokyo 5 times in the last month and every time I have seen different areas that just make me love Tokyo more and more. On such thing are the 'themed streets'. Tokyo has different streets for everything. Im not sure how good it is for business but on these streets most of the stores will all sell the same thing. From my seat on the bus I passed a 'hobby street', 'sporting good street', 'traditional Japanese shoe street'. I also know of an area that specializes in Electronics where all the department stores just sell the same thing! It is such a unique way to conduct business.

Tokyo is also the land of themed restaurants. When mom and Carla were here we went to what i would consider the classiest one The Ninja Restaurant. Two weekends ago I went to Arabian Nights- an Aladdin themed restaurant where a guy dressed as Jafar from Aladdin brought my friend a cake for our party. Other themed places I know of are ER, Alcatraz, The Lock up, and Princess Cafe.

Tokyo never ceases to amaze me! My weekly trips to sort my visas for my summer trip have been the perfect opportunity for me to really explore Tokyo on my own. As inconvenient as the trips have been they let me spend more time in a wonderful city.
