Shi booyah

After the morning rice I have been having with Willow courtesy of family mart, we headed again to Koto City area by train to Daiba station. There's a festival on for a few days this time of year called
"Dream Yosacoy Festival" It seems like there's groups of dancers that take turns performing for a few minutes each. Each one has different costumes and music styles so it's a blend of contemporary and new. It was pretty cool to see and a nice cultural experience. The bridge we were on was shaking a bit, not sure if this was normal from the trains going overhead or the dancers or just a regular earthquake.

Tipici della Family Mart.

After we got some fried chicken from a street stall which Willow has been loving also I don't mind a bit of fried chicken either. I got a beer poured from a can with a device that creates head for a perfect Japanese style pour.

Japanese have technology for everything.

We went up the Fuji TV building because it was right next door and it looked like a mini death star.

Not sure what the deal was with blue snoopy but Willow liked him.

Tepanyaki was for lunch at Ginza on the way home for some R&R and didn't emerge until dinner where we went to local Roppongi main street. The dinner was awesome, hopefully we can get back there. They had a lot of enoki mushrooms in the meals.

Once Willow and I had completed the ritual of getting coffee and morning rice we collected Heidi and went to Daikanyama. There's a street called "Log Road" which is a re-purposed railway. We went to a cafe at the end for second breakfast. Willow was pretty excited about getting a chocolate cake so early in the day. After that we noticed there was a craft brewery at the start of the street so we stopped in there for a cleansing ale.

"I can't believe I'm getting cake this early!"

Afterwards we walked to Harajuku park, but missed most of the costume dressups on Sunday. We saw a few crazy outfits getting about but no where near as many as last time.

Rockabillies were back but not as many as last time

It was raining when we got back so we went to Family Mart for dinner too to get take away, I've never loved a convenience store so much.
