Our friend Aaron, one of Scott's closest friends from grade school, came to visit us for 8 days in November. We had a wonderful visit, and did a few things that we haven't done before (and a few that we have!). We did a lot of eating out, visiting shrines, viewing views and walking around the city. I think Aaron was amazed at how different it was here, and a bit overwhelmed as well. He was up for dong whatever we wanted and seeing as much as he could while he was in town. I was impressed by the fact that he biked all around with me- Tokyo is a HUGE biking city, but definitely dangerous to bike in as well. The streets are windy and narrow, crossing over many a train track, lots of hills, and a lot to watch out for. He did great and it was so much better than hoping on the train every time we wanted to go anywhere. He also loves to shop! He says he doesn't, but he ended up finding a lot of things to buy and take home with him. We introduced him to Fuku Yakatori, Kaiten-Zushi (converyor belt sushi), Andy's (Izakaya), gyoza's and real Ramen!

We also had the opportunity to go to see G. Love and the Special Sauce at the Liquid Room in Ebisu while he was here. It was my first time seeing G. Love and I have to say, he wasn't as good as I was hoping he would be. Great music, not so great lyrics....I think the Japanese/British band playing a ton of AC/DC at What the Dickens bar in Ebisu after was just as good (and I don't like AC/DC!). It was a fun night though, and great to do something completely normal with him here in Tokyo.
