Day 31 - Daikanyama

Without making plans with anyone else, Nami and I decided to go to yet another new place today -- Daikanyama. All we knew of this place was that it was somewhere around Shibuya, and before Ebisu. Well, what we didn't calculate very well was how far away it was.

In walking to Daikanyama from Shibuya, we ended up getting lost and 30min or so later we wound up in Ebisu, again. It was pretty funny how that worked, but it was fun none the less. After a short lunch, we asked around to find out where this 'Daikanyama' was located, and walked in the said direction. After overshooting this place twice, and using about two or three different maps, we finally found this little between towns town.

There wasn't much to see, but a few designer stores and a pretty busy train station with cafes lined up along its side. We walked into a few stores, looked around, and decided to move to another town. Instead of walking, we caught the train from Ebisu station to Harajuku, where we'd spend the rest of the day. We walked along Omotesando street, and took a look into a few stores along the way. It was already night so we just did some last minute things like walking into a Purikura (picture machine place) store and made ourselves some funny pictures.

When we were back in Shimo-takaido we decided to eat in so we hit the super market. At home I decided to start the cooking while she got herself ready. I know I'm not the best cook, but man did the food come out a bit odd tonight. I made rice for the wrapped sushi, which evidently I didn't add enough water to - so it turned out a little rock-like. The gyoza I was supposed to be tending to was a bit overcooked and crispy on the bottom. And lastly, the ramen I was making was good, but because it had been boiling so long, much of the water evaporated and it became more like a pasta consistency.

All in all, dinner turned out just fine, for it's not the food but the company that matters, eh? Haha.
