3rd Day in Tokyo

I'm blogging in the following morning again, and my sister is tell me to hurry up in finishing up using the laptop, so I'll be quick. Yesterday, we went over to Shibuya after having a very long sleep-in. Shibuya was great - we walked through a shopping mall of girl's clothes, checked out a book store and an electronics store and I got myself a camera bag (I now understand the brilliance of the idea of having your camera strapped around your neck rather than your wrist - you can do stuff without killing your camera!!) and a new XD card (coz I've been using up the memory on my camera card like there was no tomorrow). We then headed over to Shinjuku, and even though the station was pretty busy, it didn't seem to be much busier than any other station that I've been to at its busiest. The station was very big though, and there was still crowds when it was like 10:30pm. We went along the trail of the Shinjuku East walking path as described in the Lonely Planet, and visited Kinokuniya, a shoe store, looked at Isetan (but didn't go in coz it was closed), saw a Buddhist shrine, walked through the Golden Gai, got lost and wandered through the Shinjuku red light district and (maybe) saw the Kabuki theatre. Also, I was in shorts again, and it was like 5 degrees last night - I was shivering my pants off (not literally :P even though I didn't have a belt on).

Anyhow, that's it for today.
