Lisa, Ben, and Sophia Visit

Sophi in Tokyo

Friday we bought a stroller because we did not know when the luggage would arrive. There is a Toys-R-Us at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The stroller was on a good sale and therefore a very good price for the quality. We visited Ueno park yesterday where we went to the Tokyo National Museum. We saw a pottery exhibit that traced the history of pottery in Japan. It was great. We also saw some permanent exhibits on painting, clothes, other pottery, and military gear. Today we went to Asakusa where there is a large Buddhist temple and lots of small shop shopping. We also ate at a sushi place there. The food was terrific. These kind of sushi places are a lot of fun. The sushi plates go by on a conveyor belt. You take what you want and at the end they count up the number of plates of each kind of plate and charge you accordingly. The chefs making the food take orders and interact with the customers. We also came across a “Brazilian” parade that was really awful. The dancers were bad, the costumes were bad, the whole thing was bad. More later
