A Day In Tokyo

Here's some pics of a day I spent in Tokyo with some other teachers. First is a video of a bunch of different bits of video I recorded.







Welcome to Tokyo!




Here is a big statue of what looks like 2 giant stool snakes consuming each other.




Luckily everyone is a work today.







First place we decide to go: The Tokyo Sewerage Museum! 




This is a TV that showed us what it was like to be in a sewer pipe when people flushed their toilets while we stood directly in the stream's path. The pic isn't very good but the brown bits were poopies and the white was toilet paper. Sometime a ruby ring would come down!




This is what I would look like if I worked for the Tokyo Sewerage Department.



Next Stop. This was a very large mall on a dock.





Always keep an eye open for a good English quote. No They didn't want us to sit on it. 



Something for everyone!




The only thing I wanted was not for sale.




Joypolis is an indoor amusement park. It was games and rides and was quite a fun place. We spent most of our day here.




I should have took more pics inside Joypolis but it was dark inside. This was the best ride. "Veil of Dark" combined a roller-coaster ride with a shooting game. As the coaster climbs up it would stop and we would have to shoot monsters using a control device on our safety harness. After we beat the final boss we go down a short but fun ride. Some really cool visuals and the unique idea made this worth going on multiple times.

That's about all I feel like mentioning for now. More to come soon!
