Rainy Day in Tokyo

On Friday morning, November 23, we woke up to a rainy day in Tokyo. We were a little tired from all of the traveling the day before, so we decided to take it easy. Turns out there is a Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku close to the hotel, so we bought an umbrella from the underground mall, made a stop at Starbucks and headed to Tokyu Hands.

MJ insisted on holding the umbrella in the rain.

Maki and I love Tokyu Hands. I call it the Target of Japan but that's not quite right. At Tokyu Hands, you can get souvenirs, clothing, stationery and pens, electronics, small appliances, tools, toys, etc.

Tokyu Hands had a section for toys. MJ found some Thomas items and CJ got some Pokemon cards.

After a couple of hours of shopping, we decided to head for lunch. We found a Korean restaurant right in the building that looks great. It was called Garlic something and hoo boy, there was a lot of garlic in everything we ordered!

Here's MJ playing with one of his new toys.

We squeezed into a tiny booth.

Here's my hot pot bibimbap. It was delicious. Note the raw egg that gets mixed into the dish.

After lunch, we headed back to the hotel for a nap. MJ ended up napping right in his stroller but he wouldn't let go of the umbrella. Here he is clutching the umbrella while in the underground mall leading to our hotel.
