After a long hiatus, it’s back to Japan I go!

The last time my bud took me, he was tired.  It was wet.  I remember we slept in the hotel a lot.

This time we were determined for it to be different. Less sleep, more exploration.

I checked into a nice hotel, have a good view of the palace. Let’s go!

This time we’re traveling with Michael and Savannah, it’s their first time in Japan and they are super excited. In addition to that, Pokin will be busy for a few days in a work conference and another friend, Reesa, will be joining us. This is starting to sound like a crowd, but I’ll roll with it.

The first thing Nicholas, Reesa, Michael and Savannah did was book a food tour. Normally Pokin would handle this sort of thing, but since she isn’t here, we’ll have to make do with a regular guide. Unfortunately nobody told the guide about my allergy to anything non-chocolate, so he picked traditional japanese places instead. The rest of the gang seemed to love it though, they ate and drank all evening at different places.

After successfully navigating our way back to the hotel, we decided to call it a night.
