Haagen-Dazs machine
Hey everyone,
I meant to post this 2 weeks ago, but the two pictures I wanted to include in here weren’t properly being resized by wordpress and so I didn’t post at the time, and so this entry was unpublished for a couple weeks. Here it is~
Live from Tokyo~
Here’s a treat for the first image…literally~ This is a haagen-daaz vending machine in the Shinjuku district. The awesome part is that it’s right outside a corner Haagen-Daaz store, so if the store is closed, you can get the ice cream vended to you in a 1-serving size cup. Similar to ATMs in the front of banks. I tried the Green Tea Ice Cream (3600 yen, I believe,) and it tasted pretty good, albeit, it wasn’t as sweet as I would have liked it, but would probably be my American taste buds kicking in.
This will be another short post because i have a big agenda of walking around today (large post tonight,) but I will say that I’ve made 8 friends so far, 5 of them Australian, 1 Israeli, and 3 Swedes. We sang karaoke last night/this morning (more of the latter…hehe) for several hours. I’ll go back again sometime and take pictures in the karaoke place , because it’s an important aspect of modern Japanese entertainment, obviously invented by the Japanese.
Today I will be familiarizing myself with this region (Asakusa) of my hostel, K’s House Tokyo, and trying to really pick up the language on a (now) intimate level so I can feel more comfortable going into some more esoteric establishments.
