Day 5

Day 5: Today, we had our first lecture on nanoscience. However, the lesson covered mostly biology and most of us were bio majors so the lecture itself wasn't too new or anything. Afterwards, the lab tour was also short but this meant that we had more time go around Tokyo. Today we decided to go to Odaiba!!!
For some unknown reason, there was the Statue of Liberty at Odaiba.
I really don't know why but I felt of sense of national pride for America.
Go USA!!

The life size statue of Gundam. As an anime fan / otaku,
I think I got too excited seeing this...
At night, we walked to the Yasukuni Shrine for the Mitama Matsuri. There were so many people that it was almost asphyxiating and all you could do was get pushed through the crowd as we tried to walk through to the end.
The shrine is lined up with thousands of lanterns that glow at night to give
the festival a really nice atmosphere.
