Japan Day 3- Walking/Back to school
Whew, what a day! We walked from 9 AM to 6 PM lol, and I have blisters on my feet... and I love it! Japan is what I thought it would be and more =) We walked around the Imperial Palace ( well the moat) and saw the bridge where the Emperor used to greet the people. (the black bridge is where he stood and the spectators would stand where I was)
Then we walked around and saw the Diet building (we didn't tour it since it was such a pretty day out)
Then we went to a war memorial for people who had died while they were over seas.
After that we went to Tokyo University...
to hear a lecture by Jason Karlin give a lecture on Treaty Revision, Foreign Settlements and Baseball in Meiji Japan. It was rather interesting, it made me feel like I was back in school again lol. I wish I could say that everyone thought the lecture was interesting, two of my male classmates that were sitting across from me were simultaneously nodding off while sitting up trying to listen to the lecture... Guys you know who you are lol. After that I was so tired, so a small group of us went back to the hotel by ourselves and made it!!! Sorry there wasnt to many pictures this time, my camera died and I had to use my cell phone and I haven't transferred the images yet. Maybe tomorrow I'll post some more pics =) Tomorrow is... Ginza shopping! And the Tokyo-Edo museum. Pray my feet last!!
