Backpacker.

Day 119
I woke up to the sound of an alarm for once. Today was the day I had bought a ticket for the digital art museum in Odaiba. When I arrived I was happily surprised by the fact that Toyota had their free exhibition in the building next door. I could check out all the race cars from the last world cups, saw a really nice looking GT86 and then headed over to Teamlab. Even if this kind of thing isn't normally something I'm into, it was kind of cool. Many of the artworks moved depending on how you interacted with them and I had the chance to try a "digital tea ceremony". It was really interesting to see my bowl of tea turn into different flowers as I was drinking it. After visiting all the different rooms and feeling ready to leave, I headed to the hostel again. I've met a fun Canadian guy who is into video games and Japanese culture. We bought the weirdest game I've ever seen and spent the entire night playing nintendo switch in the common room.

Day 120
I woke up with the alarm set yet another day, I need to get ready for the upcoming journey home and I also have to get the last stuff from Tokyo to have with me as

Teamlab, Borderless, Toyota?

memories. I met up with the Canadian, Andrew and we took the train to Harajuku together. We went through many stores and I ended up buying two shirts that I really liked. Next up was Akihabara! We went to electric town and played a bunch of games in the arcade, won nothing and decided to go flip a table on the third floor :). When we felt happy with our day we went back to the hostel and that's why I'm currently writing this down. Tomorrow is my final day in Japan. Man that sucks. I want to stay here forever but I guess I'll have to go back in order to get a new plan. I'll research the different types of visas available and then go back next year. Asumi has already decided to teach me Japanese so I now have a free language teacher on native level. Things are looking really bright and hopefully going home will only make it better. Anyway, Tomorrow is the last day and I think I should just relax and think about what I've learned here so far instead of running around trying to do as much as possible. We will see in the morning!


Day 121
I bought the last of the stuff I wanted to bring back home today. It happened to be another Japanese switch game and a traditional door cover. It's currently about 16:00 and I'm packing my last stuff into my bag so I'll be ready to leave tomorrow at 08:00. It will soon be time for my last dinner in Japan and after that early bed time seems to be the only viable option. Tomorrow at this time I will be having dinner in Moscow before heading to Finland!
