22: Sightseeing like the Locals


Am I getting home sick?

Tiffany left us yesterday to Hong Kong and the home feels slightly a bit quieter. No one to tell me that the first light switch is the correct one or the second one is correct. I can't whisper to Tiffany about my favourite stop on the Odakyu train line, Shin-yurigaoka (but I can still remind Keri).  Nor will someone remind Keri about his red tiny Cathay Pacific cup. Yet, he still remembers.

I still don't know.

Maybe the fact that its finally hit me that Keri and I are in another foreign country alone. Luckily, we are decent map readers or good with directions.. Cause we're wandering all around Tokyo through areas that tourists don't usually go to (mostly because of Ingress).

Today, Keri and I just did a 6 hour or more walking through Tokyo, where our Ingress game took us. The missions created by locals guided us through areas and sightseeing at shrines and walkways.

We walked by the National Diet Building, Imperial Palace, House of Representative, Supreme Court of Japan, Prime Minister's Office, Consulate of India, Holy Resurrection Cathedral, a little of the Ikebukuro District. It was a sight to see for sure!

Well, almost... Less than 6 days till Cambodia!
I can't wait to layover in Hong Kong! My relatives said they want to do dinner in Tung Chung near the airport during my layover. I would need to see my aunt anyways. My aunt will help me ship back some stuff via ship instead of airplane. That way, we won't be carrying so much throughout our trip.

So much to do, so little time!
