Final day of Plant tours, and Tokyo

Wow, it has already been a week and we are finishing up our last two plant tours today. Somewhere along the way of a go, go, go schedule I developed a good understanding of how these plants function. The two plants we went to today were good practice for me in trying to read a plant fast, well at least faster than before. I have to note that every single one of our hosts/guides of the plant tours have been so polite and welcoming. It is not easy for us to come to a foreign country and impede on other people's schedules, yet they always fit us in. I'm going to miss Tokyo. Though we did see a lot, a lot is not much when it comes to a place like this. It would probably take a lifetime to experience all it has to offer. Luckily, we had a chance to visit the Shibuya district. Crowded does not even begin to describe this place. We did a little shopping and people watching before heading to a gigantic arcade/casino. The atmosphere was electric and exciting. To be honest I had no idea what you were supposed to do with half of the machines but they were still fun to look at. A very big trend I noticed in Japan are those group photos you take in a booth that adds funny backgrounds and you print off on a strip of paper. They have intense lighting to make your eyes look huge like an anime character. I do not look good as an anime character, but I'm sure most Japanese girls do because it is marketed towards them. It was an all around good way to end a week in Tokyo as we prepare for a day of intense traveling. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me today but will make up for it tomorrow.
