It was a bit sad in the morning when the Irish girls and Toko left, because it seems like you're only just getting to know someone and they leave. Toko put us in contact with one of her friends who lives in Sydney so we can maybe hang out or something which is cool.

We decided to go back to the Tokyo Met Museum of Photography in Ebisu, which was completely worth it. The exhibition was Japanese photographers abroad, covering a from about 1920 up to now. Amazing pictures.

Afterwards we decided to take a stroll around Shinjuku which is really near to where we're staying. I had gone the day before for a walk but Susie was busy on her date so she wanted to see it. We ended up in a nice restaurant, where we ordered tofu salad. Mistake! The tofu looked like a giant babybel sat in the middle of the veggies. It had a really slimy yet cottage cheesy texture and was totally bland. We also ordered some endemame beans and amaaaaaazing cucumbers with some sort of sesame dressing on it, so it wasn't too bad. After we both decided to brave the dessert menu, and got trad Japanese desserts. Susie got a pancake with miso something that was like a vanilla ball, and i got a scoop of icecream and cheese mousse. Neither of us particularly enjoyed them. I also got a ginger ale kitkat which is completely amazing to me. Lemony and really good. And the packaging is totally different to at home.

We were both a bit knackered so we spent some time down by the communal computers when we got in, zoning out and chatting to people at home, and were soon joined by a French guy who's travelling all around the world alone. We invited him upstairs for a drink and then met an Oz travelling here who we also invited in. Then another dude, from China/USA came in so we invited him in too. Kind of a messy night...
