Travelog post for: Khetiwe

Today was our last day in Tokyo! Since I haven't shown a picture before, this is what a Tokyo Subway looks like up top. This is Shinjuku station. There are at least 6 different subway and train lines here!

Our next stop was the National Museum. Isn't the building pretty? I wonder what's inside...

First we got to see some very nice swords.

There were some other carved things with the swords as well. Do you like this dragon?

At first we thought we'd found some ancient toys, but then found out these dolls were used for rituals.

We also got to see some very pretty paintings.

There were two rooms just filled with ancient kimonos!

Ahh, here we found some real toys. This was a game children used to play.

This guy is kind of scary huh?

After the first museum we headed to get some lunch. We stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe. The children split a kid's meal, and look what came with it! A new friend for us!

We all shared a yummy meal.

Then we headed to the science museum! We got to learn about the planets.

Here's our planet, this is a globe that changes as the earth changes. Its very large. Isn't it pretty?

And this is a neuron! Its the only complete large mapped our replica in the world.

We had fun at the science museum. This was the view on our way back to the hotel.

We went to sleep that night and had to get up very early to get to the airport the next day. We were all quite sleepy. Then we took the same plane back to Okinawa, but because of delays we didn't get there til after midnight! Yikes! But everyone's safely here now, and its almost Christmas! I wonder what we'll do for Christmas?

More soon,
Khetiwe
