Kawaguchi

I'm staying in Kawaguchi about 30 minutes outside Tokyo until I move into my dorm. I'm still amazed at how huge this place is. I've spent a week in the same city and it feels like I've been all over the country.
Yesterday, I helped laurel move to her dorm and we found a Sakura Matsuri street fair with some food vendors. I had a monster okonomiyaki for only 4 bucks and some chicken steak for 3.



Today, we decided to go to Asakusa and stopped at Ueno park along the way. We found another cherry blossom festival and bought some sakura jelly with real flowers in them. Spent a couple hours at Asakusa shopping and ate some delicious deep fried mochi!

Akibahara. electronic city.

Went to go see our schools for the first time, so we rode the densha to yotsu-ya. right across the street was Sophia University

Then we decided to take a look at my school. On the way, we had to conquer this swarm of people in Shibuya. This is what I have to look forward to every morning and evening.

Ten minute walk to my campus.
