This weekend has been lovely! Exhausting, but really lovely regardless. On Saturday night C-chan and I went to Hikarigaoka Park to check out a festival going on there . We were a bit late, but we could have a bit of a wander through the stalls before things completely shut down. Then we played with fireworks for a while (sparkler type not, like, rocket type). Fun! Then to Ekoda where we met friends for drinks and karaoke (this ended up lasting all night). After about two and a half hours of sleep on Sunday morning, I got up and went to a BBQ. It was fantastic! Good friends and good food and good conversation! It was such a relaxing time. We were there for aaaaages; it was fantastic. We had a second party at an izakaya, and it was also good times. Managed to get home before midnight. Immediately crashed after returning to home port.
On Monday I set a course for Shinjuku to meet up with The Crew x A Mommy. There was a delicious pizza adventure! And it was so nice to meet Andrew's mother! She was just lovely. After we parted, I stayed in Shinjuku for a bit to enjoy air conditioning and then headed to Hikarigaoka to check out the festival (see picture) for a while and do a bit of shopping in preparation for Tokyo Cousin Extravaganza 2010!
Anyway, it's just been a really nice weekend. I kept thinking how lucky I am to be here in this place with these friends and this happy life!
Glad you got to see some of the dancing at the festival - good picture too, I can almost hear the music!! So, Andrew's mother's name is "A Mommy"? Interesting name!! :-) You are lucky to be having your Tokyo adventure, and very lucky to have met so many fun people!! But, of course, to me, you are still way too far away!!
ReplyDeleteShopping in preparation for Tokyo Cousin Extravaganza?? This is most intriguing to me! All you need to prepare is your wonderful self for your most amazing cousins to arrive, and for most amazing times to be had by all! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that Andrew's mommy was able to visit. I'll bet you all showed her the best of Tokyo. Including all night partying, right?! ;)
