Day 20

Today was not a very big day for sightseeing, but it was a fun day nonetheless!  Taking it easy in the morning, we left Kyoto for our final destination: Tokyo.  Coming back to Tokyo was funny, since it's just a little bit familiar!  We were only here 3 days at the beginning, so it feels good to end our trip where we began.  Arriving in Ochanomizu again, we trekked back to our little hotel.  Tonight we stay in two separate rooms, then come back together into the big room because of scheduling weirdness.  So I got a tiny little single room~  It's very exciting haha

With some time to kill, we wandered back out into Akihabara to enjoy the evening air and the atmosphere.  And Akihabara did not disappoint for entertainment.  As we were walking across a crosswalk, a car illegally turned on red and pulled through the sea of pedestrians.  Almost immediately there were about three whistle blasts and a policeman came charging out on foot.  This irate policeman then proceeded to run after the car, which got stuck at a red light and thoroughly reprimanded.  The image of that cop angrily sprinting after a car totally made our day.  Unfortunately we didn't get a picture, but here's a book tower we saw near there.

Looking to find some desserts we eventually ended up at a little cafe/bar advertising honey toast.  And lo and behold, there was soccer playing there, so dad was happy.  The Iraq vs Japan match was fun to watch (Japan scored two goals very early), and the desserts were delicious~

To top off our night, we all three of us shared a Jaeger shot.  It was advertised as an "ice shot" and came in a tiny test tube.  What fun!
