Otaku for a day !! and making a Japanese Sensu

Started the day by watching a Japanese Anime at Ikebukero cinema all in Japanese I managed to grasp most of what the film was about. After which i went to Namjatown, which was a themed area in a department store i think - funny place ended up doing a kids Naruto adventure course haha it was jokes.

After which i had skimen for lunch - i think this is just ramen, with the noodles seperate from the soup.
  
The chopsticks in Japan are slightly different with sharper tips and their quite slippery and it was quite tough nothing like the Chinese wooden chopsticks that you will find in London's china town - it takes a bit of getting used to.

In the afternoon i spent some time actually doing a bit of arts and crafts and made a Japanese Sensu  i.e. a fan. Check my efforts below.


My teacher was Fujiko Abe http://www.fantroom.com/couse1.html

The class was held in Akasuka - in a 44 storey building which i had a chance to go up to the top - thanks to Abe-sensei and thus was able to glimpse the sunset over  mount Fuji and Tokyo.


After which i ended going to Tokyo tower. I seem to love high places and sprawling city lights of a Metropolis.



For dinner i had okonomiyaki at the top floor of the Yodobashi building



Today i am maxed out so im gonna waste the day and just recuperate.
