Japan: Mike watches a movie

Hello. I went to Japan! Or, as they like to call it, 日本国.


On the airplane to 日本国, I was excited about experiencing the off-the-wall aspects of the culture. So when I saw that the (hit?) Japanese movie Let Me Eat Your Pancreas was available, I jumped on the opportunity to watch it. It turned out to be a touching drama about a schoolgirl with a terminal illness who teaches her friends to embrace life. I enjoyed it.












When I arrived at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, I hopped on the subway (which I was also excited about) and got off at the station closest to my Airbnb in Shibuya. This was my first glimpse of Tokyo and it was awesome:


This is Shibuya Crossing, supposedly the busiest intersection in Japan and maybe the world.

I was pretty tired so I found my Airbnb, had a surprisingly good microwave dinner from 7-Eleven, and went to bed.  More photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/B5HiFPBceCTHvCTt2
