(Day 13) Boots with the Furrr

With the smoky experience of late-night partying in our repertoire, we slept in. Except for B, of course, because she had to go to school. Hyuk hyuk hyuk…Sis and I slept in like there was no tomorrow because, well, I mean, come on! We were partying like good, old-fashioned night pigs. So we got up in the late morning hours and made our way eventually to western Tokyo to meet up with B and visit her at school. It was hot, so we took a taxi up the hill (plus we were late – oops) and she gave us a bit of a tour…though I’ve personally been here several times previously…


By far, the best angle of the school on the entire campus. The rest looks like your typical mental institution.

We didn’t stay long though, before heading a bit back east to Kichijioji. We grabbed lunch at (let me see if I can get this right…) ‘Italian Tomato Café Jr.’ It was so cheap! But my food was cold and looked like this:


Mmm…a cold, runny egg on top of a sparsely-populated pizza.













Sis got a migraine from the scorching heat and so we ducked into Karaoke Kan for a cheap, two-hour blitz of karaoke. So instead of heat, Sis had to live through our screeching into the mic. Nice!




Oh! What a face. I’m thinking…yep, could it be? Was it THIS song…?


Ahem…”APPLE BOTTOM JEANS….[jeans]…BOOTS WITH THE FUR…[with the fur]”

Oh yeah ps…I actually saw some amazing boots with fur I was thinking I should buy Marty. What do you think? *rotfl*



My whole purpose for coming to Kichijoji was to bring my sisters to the holy grail of shabu-shabu places, Nabezo. Cheap all-you-can-eat for 90 min! Ready, set, gorge! Oh delicious meat…get in my belly!







With our bellies sagging full of meat, we headed down to the park for a bit of exercise. Inokashira park is one my favvies in Tokyo.













The benches in the park were so bizarre – they were perfectly partitioned for a single person. Maybe they are trying to avoid the inevitable contact couples might try when they come to the park on a date? Oh Japan, don’t be so prudish.

Janelle and I sat on one bench and chatted for a while about this, that, and everything else, while Sis sat on another listening to music. Eventually Sis got up and said she was going back to the hostel. Um…..? We had to follow her to make sure she wouldn’t get lost. I can just see her, stranded in some back alley crying, “WAHHHH WAHHH WAHHH.”

Oh yeah! I keep forgetting about all these fabulous purikura we’ve been doing. Today was no exception!



Tomorrow is our last full day in Tokyo before we head back to our motherland and leave our precious little sibling alone. The sister trip of a lifetime is quickly coming to a close and we have one final kick at the can. And we’ll boot it together!
