DAY 8..

Sad that our trip is almost coming to an end..

Today Joe and I split up with the rest of the group. They wanted to go back to Nara to visit the wooden building, since we missed it the previous day. Joe and I wanted to head back to Tokyo to visit some shops, so he can buy his first car part. We took an early bullet train back to Tokyo and checked into our last hotel, the Sunroute Plaza Hotel. Let's just say the rooms are more "cozy" than the last two, lol. Afterwards, we decided to eat. There was a place nearby that Ming and I loved, C&C Curry Shop, which appears to be a fast food curry chain around Japan. I made it a point where I HAD to eat there (at the same location) at least once on this trip, for old times sake. The katsu curry was just as I remembered, DELICIOUS!! After Joe and I destroyed our katsu curry plates, we headed to a Subaru only Up Garage, so Joe can finally buy a car part. He succeeded as he finally bought something. Now Mallen owes me 100 Yen for a side bet that Joe wouldn't buy anything. LOL.. Enjoy the few pictures..

On the way home, we hit rush hour traffic, and the trains were packed. We were hoping to see the people pushers, but it wasn't packed enough yet. Here is a picture of the Shinjuku station, a sea of people walking in every direction..
