Shinjuku

Today I began my day by going to the Quantas office near a sunway station called Toranomon. I finally managed to get my ticket refunded (the return ticket out of Japan that I had to have for immigration but never intended to use). After that I walked to Roppongi to the Chinese embassy to try and get a visa for China. Unfortunately the visa department already closed at noon. But there was an interesting demonstration in front of the embassy.
I then continued to walk to Ebisu to check out a second hand book store I heard about. I sold them one of the books I already finished, but they didn't have a lonely planet for Korea or China that I would have loved to get. From Ebisu I walked to Shibuya and then to Shinjuku. That must have been about 7-8 kilometers altogether! (Good training for Mt.Fuji!) In Shinjuku I walked around a bit and watched the neon. (Took some nice pictures there!) I also went up the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office tower to have a great look at the Tokyo skyline by night.
Going back to the house I had to wait forever for a train and was then squashed inside as hundread of people tried to squeeze in. I guess that's a typical Japanese experience... ;)
