Day 14 Shop Till You Drop




































Shop to You Drop

Tokyo is a shoppers paradise. Besides all of the name brand Japanese Designers every possible designer is here in depth. Because the city is so huge, and Japan is so rich there are multiple areas with unbelievable stores.

We started out the day and headed for shopping frenzy. The stores are designed by the best Japanese Architects and are truly amazing. The Bags of goodies mounted up!

We had a small lunch and then headed to what can only be described as the worlds best Eye Glass Store. It was an exhausting day of shopping but fun.

We took a taxi to the Mandarian Oriental. The hotel is gorgeous and the lobby and bar are the 28th floor with an unbelievable view of the city and the Imperial Palace. We went to the bar and just enjoyed mellowing our drinking wine and looking at the city. Then I went to the GREATEST MEN’S ROOM in the world!
The picture says it all! While you are standing at the Urinal you are looking out the window at all of Tokyo! Truly amazing!

We then went to back to the same restaurant we had eaten ate on Monday Night.
They were having a gallery opening of new ceramic artists and we all bought a few pieces. We then had another fantastic dinner consuming 4 bowls of Sake. Each bowl was a hand made ceramic pouring bowl, more beautiful then the previous one. As we staggered out, the owner insisted we take her picture and she took ours. It was very friendly.

We made it home and went to bed. Another great day in Tokyo!
