Today was a great day. It started out cold but warmer as the day went on. After we had breakfast and left the hotel we went on a few trains that were very crowded we continued to go to the Sky tree. When we got up to the top of the Sky tree we had an amazing view with a great view of Mount Fuji. One of the best parts of it was there was this one part of the ground that was made of glass and that was really cool because you could see directly to the ground and it made me feel really dizzy. The elevator going up to the top was really cool because it was so fast that at one point we were going at a speed of 400 meters per minute and I could barely feel it. Once we left the Sky tree we walked for a little while and went to a wax food shop. That was super interesting because not only was it in a district that was used by a lot of professional chefs to get food and cooking supplies but at the actual place we went to we had the chance to see and make our own wax food. While we were there we made shrimp tempura, lettuce and a specific vegetable that was chosen by each person. It was really cool and everyone's sample food turned out differently. After that we went on a few more trains to a really cool part of Tokyo that had a lot of different stores including video game and clothes shops (Akihabara). The boys and girls split up so the girls went to buy clothes and and the boys to buy video games. After shopping for a while there was another split up where some boys joined the girls and after that the two groups went to separate dinners and then at six thirty we all found each other again. That's when we all came back on the trains and now we're all hanging out at the hotel. It's been a fun day.
