Church and Yokohama


Met up with my parents and we got on the Ginza line and headed to Tameike-Sanno where we met up with Josh and headed to church (Jesus Lifehouse International). They had a good service and everything was presented in both English and Japanese. The people there translating did a really good job!
After church we headed to Yokohama and met up with my friend Ryu. Since he lives there, he was able to show us around all the cool spots. I had only been there once before and didn't really get to explore the whole city, so this was really cool to see a lot of the different places. We headed to a building that was used to store goods when they were first received in Yokohama 150 years ago that had been converted for shopping and food. There we went to Kua'aina, which is a really good Hawaiian style Burger joint. After that we headed to China town and walked around there for a bit. From there we headed to the top of Landmark Tower 69 stories up. The view from there was awesome and the elevator only took 40 seconds to get to the top. We looked around there for a bit and then headed down to the mall at the bottom. Stopped outside and saw a street performer and then headed back to Tokyo.

In Tokyo we headed to a chain Tempura restaurant, that was more of a Japaneses fast food restaurant. It's funny cause the cheap fast food places seem just as impressive and good as any other place that we have been to.
