Today I went to a grocery store where they sold fresh fruit and vegetables. In Japan they have huge apples three times the size of our apples. Then we went to the dollar store and I bought two tea cups, some chopsticks as they had Edo period art on them. Then I went to Shinjuku station in Tokyo to meet a friend. I saw how yam apple pies were made and they looked so yummy. They also sold bento boxes at the train station. On the train I saw a girl yelling, banging the glass and kicking the door. This was quite strange as most normal people don't do this when a train stops or on a train. I then went to the Imperial Palace Gardens and walked around. It was a nice park with free admission and the flowers that bloom during the rainy season are called Ajisai. The imperial palace also had a rest stop and a museum of artifacts that the royal family had received. Then I stopped for lunch in an effort to save money. You can bring a bagged lunch and find a place to sit down and eat it. Then we took a 40 minute train and walked to the outdoor Edo Tokyo Museum. The museum has some buildings that look like the ones from Spirited Away and Princess Mononko movies. The park we walked by was nice and they had old buildings you can go through and see but they don't have much furniture in some of them but the shops have stuff in them also there was a bathhouse you could walk through and see. In this area it is called Kichijoji and there is a nice covered shopping and restaurant area that you can walk through. If you go to Japan at the end of June first part of July they have sales in the stores.
