Got up at 10:15 am to check out of the rooms and move into another room for the last night. We went out site seeing but first we all needed food and water. We walked to Asukasa district and found a Denny’s that wasn’t really a Denny’s but it was food. Then we walked to this area with temples and pagodas that had all these little shops everywhere. Apparently there was a festival going on that was only celebrated in the area. We just walked through the aisles of shops enjoying the crowd, the fall weather, and the smells. Bought a couple of small things nothing major because you cant barter in Japan and its kind of expensive. Found a Dippin Dots in the middle of nowhere! The festival was going on so all the food vendors were out. There were also these welcome basket things that they bought for the front of there houses for good luck. Got to see the temples and observed people praying and took a bunch of pictures. It was a gorgeous day and perfect temperature. Its so weird in Japan though because the sun seems to start to set at noon. By 2:15 pm the sun was almost half way down. We would all think it was later than it really was. Headed back the hostel and took a 3 hr nap and then got up around 7 and went out to dinner around Ueno Station to find some more sushi! We were going to hit up a Karoke bar but the girls were just exhausted and Sara and I had no voices. Came back via subway and n the way walking back stopped at a bunch of vendors and tried all the street food. Most of it was so delicious and other stuff was kind of interesting. Got back to the hostel and ran into some SAS kid and thought about going out-seriously. Took a semi nap and then realized we were way too exhausted and would hate ourselves in the morning. We did a lot of internet time and then went to bed.
