tonari no totoro, totoroooo.

one really annoying thing about japan? the lack of garbage cans! and yet, the streets are super clean! it's a fucking mystery.

i'm really exhausted although i slept in late today (well but as i went to bed at 4am and woke up at 10am you can't really say i got much sleep). my feet hurt like hell from all the walking and i got a severe headache.

today ana and me went to shinjuku. we went to the tokyo metropolitan government office in the skyscraper district which has an observatory on the 45th floor. we went to the south tower, the elevator took only 50 seconds for 45 floors! the weather was rather rainy so we couldn't see the fuji-san but the view was breathtaking nevertheless.

in the afternoon we met up with saskia and went to the ghibli museum in mitaka (=am arsch der welt). the exhibition and the museum itself were really lovely, i especially liked the huge furry nekobus (but only children up to 12 years were allowed to play with it, bah!). the museum shop was a bit disappointing though. afterwards we walked through harajuku up to shibuya again and went home. ana had to leave for kyoto and i just wanna get some rest now.
