I also went to the Tokyo National Museum which had a nice special exhibit of western art on loan from Berlin.

I hung out in Ueno park for awhile - the blossoms are past their peak, but it's still a pretty park and a good escape from the crowds and concrete of Tokyo. I'm not used to city life anymore and was surprised by how overwhelmed and exhausted I felt in Tokyo!

And of course I spent an obscene amount of money shopping in Shibuya for crazy cool Japanese fashions. If I lived in Tokyo I would be poor. But very well dressed.
