Last Stop | Tokyo Japan

Our final stop was Tokyo, to visit our friend Masahiro, who was our foreign exchange student in Wisconsin 10 years ago. We were exhausted, mom’s ankle had taken all it could, and we were ready to go home. But we made the most of our time in Tokyo, and mom even hobbled around for entire day seeing sites.

Masa introduced us to a delicious local food called monja. There are monja restraunts all over Japan, but the best are in Tokyo. Basically imagine making your own pancakes on a griddle table, but with ingredients like cabbage and cheese. It’s better than in sounds, and Masa was a black hole when it came to consuming monja.

Masa wanted to take us to do something called “food samples,” which we naturally assumed involved eating various foods, but as it turns out, it involved making wax food models… or food samples. Though we were more interested in eating, making wax food ended up being pretty fun.

Too tired on our final day, we went over to Masa’s house to play cards.

As I’m writing this entry, it’s now Jan 10, 2013, and I’m about ready to start my second adventure in Asia…stay tuned.
