All over Tokyo and Good food

Met up with Mom and Dad around 10 and then we headed to Ebisu. We walked around Garden Place where they had some kind of Alice and Wonderland thing they were building. We went to the beer museum but there was a special event there so it was closed to people without tickets. After that we went to Blacows which is the best burger place in Tokyo. It was about 12:30 when we got there but there was still a line out the door and the place was packed. They made everything there and it was really good. The meat was really really good and the bacon was thicker than what most places use so it was really good too. It was awesome.

From there we headed to Shibuya and walked around there for a bit. We stopped at Loft where Mom got some stationary and then got some coffee at Excelisor Caffe before heading to Aoyama to check out the CR-Z at the Honda headquarters. We checked out the Japanese Odyssey, which is pretty much the coolest van ever and then went inside to check out the rest of the stuff they had there. Asimo was out and doing his thing and I got my picture taken with him. He's pretty chill and has a good sense of humor. From there we headed to Omotesando to check out some shops like Oriential Bazaar and Kiddy Land to get some souvenirs. We stoped at Uniqlo to see if they had any cool shirts but they no longer have the digital shirt catalog there in the store so I didn't find anything I really wanted.

From there we headed to Roppongi, we were gonna hit up the Mozzarella Bar but they only have their specials on weekdays and since today was some kind of holiday they didn't have them. Instead we went to Ippudo for some good Ramen. Since we were near Midtown we walked around there and saw a huge cake there for no reason and then checked out the displays at Fujifilm headquarters. They had the 3D cameras and pictures on display and they are really cool but I think the technology still needs to develop further before it becomes mainstream.
From there we headed to Roppongi Hills and checked out the Tokyo City view and the Mori Art museum. The exhibit there now is kinda weird but they still had some interesting stuff. It worked out really well too cause the weather was pretty good so we were able to go on the roof of the building for the best view of Tokyo. Fun times.
