Tokyo Adventure!

I arrived in Tokyo on Friday at 2:00pm after a six hour bus ride from Nagoya. At the bus stop, I met my friend Erika, who I hadn't seen for over two years. We met during my Summer Project at Disney World in the summer of 2007. It was so awesome seeing her again! We then made our way to Asakusa, where we met Nicole and Abby and checked into our 'capsule hotel'.

After this we spent about an hour and a half browsing the markets at the temple. Then off to Tokyo Disney!!! Pirates, Splash Mountain, Electric Lights Parade, Space Mountain, Fireworks, Halloween Parade (Banzai Villains!), Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan....and then we called it a night.



The next two days were filled with site-seeing, views from huge buildings, crazy outfits, hectic train stations, and the longest most tiring search for two lost bags of souvenirs. If you go to Tokyo, I suggest not leaving anything on the subway...But God provided!

The weekend was so jam-packed, so now I'm taking a vacation from my vacation, and thinking about how amazing God is. We went to church on Sunday and met some great people. He provided for me when I lost all my souvenirs (I was pretty much resigned to not getting them back...but He's just graceful like that), and he allowed me to see my friend who I believe He continues to pursue with his Grace. Pray that the Gospel would transform Japan and Erika!
