Tokyo Sumo Tournament

So, this past weekend I went to my first Sumo tournament in Tokyo. The GA JET (Gunma JET) association gathered a group of us together to go down to Tokyo to watch this awesome ancient battle of men with gigantic butt muscles.

My first Ghetto Capsule Hotel in Akebonobashi (what good timing!)

After we checked into the hotel, I went to have dinner with my friends from SDSU.

That night we went clubbing until the sun came up and on our train back we saw an awesome little add hanging in the Tokyo Metro.

Since we were obviously lacking sleep, sweaty, and a bit drunk, the boys decided it would be a good idea to hang their shirts up to dry while we made it back to the capsules.

As soon as we got back we slept, and when I got up in the morning I headed for Omotensado to pick up some rediculously expensive MAC makeup, and catch a glimpse of the Matsuri.

It was odd seeing that traditional scene passing in front of the very western and chic Omotesando Hills. I went through Takeshita dori (famous Harajuku street) and picked up a present for Annie's (my friend from DC in Shibukawa) birthday.

After the purchase, I rushed back home to make it for Annie's birthday dinner at Negril. Delicious Jerk Chicken and Curry set!!!!! Plus Justin and Hisami brought cake!
