Sometimes it is fun to be in the minority and visiting Tokyo with Brian's parents is definitely one of those times. Brian was lucky enough to get a week vacation while his parents were visiting so we went to Tokyo for a few days before they headed back to the states.
Where's the gaijin?
Bill's 6'5" frame in particular drew quite a few stares on the subway, but even in a sea of people, it was always easy to find him!
We saw a lot of fun things and you can go to our flickr site for more photos if you are interested, but here are the highlights:
Imperial Palace East Garden
Tea and Japanese Confection, Nakajima Teahouse, Hamarikyu Gardens
This isn't our video but was taken at the same tea house and explains the rules pretty well:
Sensoji Temple, Asakusa
Imperial Palace, Nijubashi
We also ate at the Outback Steakhouse in Roppongi, which was oishii desu! As always though, even the "American" restaurants here are strongly influenced by their host country. All I will say is, in Japan, "Medium Well" sounds an awful lot like "Medium Rare."
