A little oshirase....

Hey everybody!

I am so busy now that I've been in school for a week- its study, study, study everywhere i go!
So to sum up my past week and a half:
Experienced sadou (tea ceremony) at school
Shopped in Takeshita street Harajuku and tried the crepes
Went to Chinatown, Yokohama with my host family and a friend from school
Looked around Akihabara and Ikebukuro's shops
Went to Disney Sea with friends on a day off- it was student discount day!
Ate dinner in Koreantown, Shinjuku with the Korean administrator from our school
Had my first karaoke experience with friends
Had squid ink pasta for the first time, so yummy!
Tried durian fruit chips- they actually tasted like potatoe chips!

And tomorrow I'm going to a concert in the tokyo dome!

 Here are some more photos from my misadventures around Tokyo:
