My friend and I ended up having some fresh sushi for lunch at the Takashimaya Shinjuku Department Store before we parted our ways. During the evening I just lounged around the district taking pictures and interacting with locals.
I ran into an American on a street corner, he was in Tokyo for vacation as well. It is funny how easy it is to talk to foreigners in Japan, maybe because it is rare to see one so you automatically create a bond.

I paid a visit to the Tokyo metropolis government to take more mind-boggling pictures of the city. The first picture on this blog post is definitely the best shot I ever took.
Yasukuni street is packed with bright lights and many shops. It is almost like you're walking in a gigantic disco.

I tried to gain access to the roof top of DOCOMO tower but the security guard told me there was nothing up there, that is pretty disappointing since it one of the finest buildings in Tokyo.
At night a grabbed a quick bite at a local Ramen store. Japanese Ramen is soup with noodles and often served with beef, pork and vegetables. There is also Japanese Udon which is soup with thick noodles both dishes are very popular in Japan.
