Ikea and Tokyo streets

Headed to Ikea in the afternoon and picked up a few things for my place. In the evening I met up with Mason and we headed to Daikoku-futo. Since it's Golden Week the lot was packed with cars and we had trouble finding a place to park. We got some food at the McDonald's there and then walked around a bit more before the cops closed the place down. The cops had closed down the other main parking areas that we usually go to so we headed to another one that we know about and met some guys who are trying to start their own export business. We talked to them for a bit and then drove around. They showed us a exit in Ginza that allows free entry and reentry for 40 minutes which is great. Then we drove around some more and talked about the changes in the car culture in Japan. One of the guys told us how there used to be hundreds of cars all over the spots that people go to until about five years ago when the cops started cracking down. It's really shrunk the scene down from what it used to be.
