Dear Friends
Today is my last day here in Japan. Marie and I were invited to a Picnic in a beautiful park for Sakura ( the cherry blossom) which is a huge deal in Japan. It was a great day and a great way to end this journey which will remain in my memories as one of the best trip I've had to date.
For all the people I met here, the friendships that have started & the ones who have strengthen I am grateful. Thank you Japan I will not say Sayonara…..I chose Arigato Gozaimasu!! We shall see each other again!!

Day 15 - Change of Plans - Hip Hop in Tokyo is alive and well!!
Konnichiwa Tomodachi,
Konnichiwa Tomodachi,
Today we woke up at sunrise to get ready for our excursion at Hakone a 4 hours get away in the mountains at close to 2000 feet high allowing you to meet Mount Fuji from pretty close . We were faced with torrential rains when we open the door and I told my friend that I was on vacation.. not on Survivor Japan… Therefore we decided to go shopping in Asakusa a place that I visited earlier. We also spent the afternoon at the Tokyo Museum of Photography and went through an interesting exhibit from the Magnum photographers and their shots of Tokyo over the past 5 decades. Needless to say the day wasn’t waste.
At night, Marie heard about this club in Shibuya and decided that we should past by. She was informed of a specific dress code. No jeans, No Rags All black and white, classy etc… When we got there we were in for an interesting surprise. I personally think that there was some massive language barrier … This place called (Gas Panic) was a hip hop joint with a very “young” crowd... … In the end we decided to stay for a few drinks and dance.
Let’s just say that we turned water into wine that evening :)
