Friday 18th January
Woke up with a bit of a fright this morning as was convinced it was two thirty in the afternoon - the joy of jet lag! Eventually got out of bed around 11am and spent the afternoon wandering around Shibuya and reading up on the sights of Tokyo and the surrounding areas. Was pleased to discover that Starbucks have the names of their drinks in both English and Japanese so with a bit of pointing I could successfully order my regular Chai Tea Latte.
Met Caroline after work and wondered around Omote-Sande, Tokyo's exclusive shopping district, just a shame I haven't the money or the space in my bag to buy anything. Another time maybe.
Also visited Hachiko, the dog statue (one of Shibuya's top attractions and meeting places). The statue was built in memory of a faithful little dog who used to walk with his owner every morning to Shibuya station and await his return. The dog continued to stay at the station for ten years following the owners death at work in 1925 and as a result the residents of Shibuya built a statue in the dogs memory when he finally passed away.
