So I started my holiday with five days in Tokyo, during which I met up with various friends, went shopping, and went to several areas to walk around. The second-hand CD stores were fabulous, sometimes with CDs for only a few hundred yen (a few euro) and I really had to tell myself not to buy too much, because it wouldn’t fit in my suitcase.
It felt great to be back, I already knew my way around from the previous time, was more confident with the language. The weather was lovely, at times I didn’t even need to wear a coat out, while my mom sent me a picture of snow in the Netherlands…
I also got the opportunity to eat more sorts of Japanese food and was less shy to enter a restaurant. 
After okinomiyaki, we had gyoza, sushi (of course), shabu-shabu and went to some other restaurants.
Also, I went out with my friends on a night, which was a lot of fun. Strangely, trains stop running around 12/1 o’clock in Tokyo. So I took the first train at 6 o’clock, which was totally crowded with lots of (scary) people.
On the 24th I attended the first concert of my stay in Japan, a solo concert of INORAN. The concert was absolutely great, and I guess I was really lucky that he happened to play in Tokyo while I was there :)
