So I have been in Tokyo for almost a week. Unfortunately, this post will only be about my 1st full day here.

JD and I set out to scope Shinjuku in which he will be staying towards the end of the program. It's kinda like Times Square. Soon I will be there at night, and I am sure it will be seizure-licious. Do you see all the advertisements?
We then walked towards a shrine.
After some hours of walking, we found a great place for ramen noodle soup. It was in the basement of a building. In Tokyo, everything is built up. So it is typical to see a 6 floor building with 6 floors of commercial/entertainment/food inside. All run by different entities.

I think I have come to the conclusion that if a restaurant is in the basement it is good. Granted I have only been in one, but I hope I am right.
Funny story of this day: When JD and I awoke, JD went to get some breakfast drinks before our journey. He came back with grapefruit juice and green iced tea. We drank them and went on our way. Both drinks were good. Right before lunch, our stomach's were empty and we were thirsty as well. So we stopped to buy a cold drink. JD bought the same fruit drink he had in the morning. After a big thirsty gulp, he noticed his stomach quickly became warm. Upon further investigation of the can, we noticed an alcohol label (e.g. 6% alc). So, what does this mean? We were accidentaly drinking boos at 8:30 am. Right..... accidentaly.

All you reading this on Friday, enjoy the last day of the week.
