THURSDAY THURSDAY

Thursday was a big day because we were going to meet Sara! Sara speaks Japanese so we were super excited to ask her a bunch of questions about what was going on. In Japan you spend a lot of time trying to figure out what is going on. We were meeting Sara at 1pm at Nakano station. We were planning on getting up early and doing something beforehand but this did not work out as we are extremely lazy. Before I get to that, the night before I was reading the hotel book as I wanted to find out the price of meat lump. In the elevator there is a picture of a meat lump on a nest of shredded cheese and we think they are pouring oil on this. It could also be Ponzu which is something that Sara told us about. People put ponzu on everything even on your fried (or friend whateva) chicken (if you like). I almost wrote fried children but that is ok too. Anyway there was no price for meat lump but I did find this and racistly took a photo of it for you
So make sure you do that at the gym. So Thursday morning we went to Mos Burger to eat the naan with curry sauce, cabbage and sausage. There is also a Mexican naan with mince, corn chips and a bunch of other junk. It was quite great but not as great as the other Mos burger which ROCKED anyway this is what it looked like (3.5/5)
Yummu so then we headed off to meet with Sara. We were a little bit early so we went to look for a post office but we were on the wrong side of the train station. Webber bought some CC Lemon so he has now drunk 140 lemons or something. We met up with Sara, gave her a slightly melted Caramello Koala and went to Uniqlo which is a cool store and I got some amazing roomwear shorts and sunglasses. HEL YEH! Then we went to Nakano Sun Mall which is full of heaps of nerdy stuff including some picturesque face washers that featured Star Wars characters walking underneath cherry blossoms etc. They were magical but also about $18 so we didn't purchase any. Sara told us all about SMAP and also Arashi who are on EVERYTHING! They are on pretty much every TV show and they also manage to advertise competing cell phones! This morning I was wondering when they get to sleep as when I went to sleep they were on TV and when I woke up they were on it again! Sara told us that they all work for the same talent agency and they just get paid like a salary and you get more money the more senior you are rather than how popular or how much work you do. Also there is a girl band with 48 members! Only 20 members perform at one time but you get to vote for whoever you want to perform! They are called AKB 48 you should google them! We went to a chain restaurant which had cold green tea which was delicious and they gave us a glass of water to chill us after our spicy Japanesse curry (Japanese curry is not spicy). Then we caught the train to Harajuku so we could walk down Takeshita Street and eat a crepe!
This was the guy we got! Delicious! He had a whole slice of cheesecake in there! The whole crepe was soft unlike the crepe I ate at ice cream city which was crunchy on the outside. At one of the shops here Lyndal bought a small straw hat!
It was only 315 yen! Bargainb! Then we walked to Shinjuku because we wanted to go to Loft and Muji. Loft was full of amazingness such as this


(Sara-lobster, Lyndal-flon and Webber-pig)

They had some pretty awesome paper sticky tape there but it was too exxy and also woah they had some super special furniture. There were many things to buy but we don't have a house in Japan to put them all in. Then we went to Muji which is all stuff that is unbranded. I drank peach nectar DELICIOUS! Lyndal drank jelly drink DELICIOUS! Then we went to an izakaya where a man crouches by your table to take your order. Webber ordered a cocktail which was a carbon offset cocktail and he got some free chopsticks! We all got tiny foodstuffs to eat with drinks and it was delicious good times. We left at about 20:20 and Sara had to catch her train back to her town which takes about 90 minutes! Sara explained many mysteries to us like why people all go eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh all the time (they think this is what western people do) and she told us all about what the magazines were saying. Oh my this post is huge ok so then we came to hotel and went to sleep after watching Arashi. This is to ensure that we dreamt of Arashi which of course we did! So des ne!
