Steven in Tokyo: March 8th

Because it was Sunday, I turned off my alarm and slept until noon. I really needed that, so why not? It's not that I have anything to do, so =). After waking up, I went to the gym.

In the evening, I met up with Raul in Roppongi to go to Chris' house for a dinner party. I was so excited, I love to have fun with friend. Asato also joined the group which was very nice. Before Chris moved to Tokyo, she lived in Amsterdam. Originally, she is from the USA. Raul is from Australia. Chris works with plains, very technical. Her company pays everything for her, she has an AMAZING apartment. When you look out of the window, you see the Tokyo Tower in front of you, it's crazy! She has 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms, located in Roppongi Hills. Normally, I guess an apartment like that would cost you around 4000$ a month! But good for her!

I brought a lot of delicious (and expensive) sweets. I had visisted over 3 pastery shops to buy nice stuff. Because I can't cook at all, I felt kind of guilty to come with empty hands. I was just chillin' while the rest were cooking in the kitchen. To be honest, Chris didn't cook that much either, nothing actually. We ate these delicious spring rolls, pasta, rice, bread and alots of sweets and snacks. It was so much fun! I always feel guilty when I eat that much, but it was just too good.

After dinner, Asato and I went out to get movies. It is quite hard to choose movies, all four of us have totally different tastes. I mean, I'm obviously the girly one who loves Mean Girls etc, but they don't. I picked 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2', which was a good choice, if I say so myself. It was then that I found out that we would sleep at Chris' house. I didn't have anything with me, but I just stayed for the night.

Asato and I slept in the same bed, and we woke up around 5 o'clock. I know, insanely early. But we wanted to go to the major fish market. I looked like a total ghost, because we only had 3 hours of sleep. The fish market was gigantic, and all the people who work there, hate tourists. They have these little cars, which drove me over all the time. People were pushing me and it was so lame. But, it was interesting to see. The fish looked so.. scary, I never want to eat fish again.. SO gross, bloodbaths everywhere. We also saw the notorious auction, totally insane..
