Sightseeing Tag

The day started with 0 hours of sleep. I went to the citizens' office to have my address written on my Residence Card. It took about 2 hours. There I met Jann.
Jann is a Frenchman living in the USA and doing a sabbatical research semester here. He also lives in Mejirodai and is in his mid-50s. So he's doing the same thing as me, just at an older age. To be honest, I think that's pretty cool. He also directly recommended his company, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ONRL) in the USA, as a workplace. Lol, I have to remember that somewhere. He apparently works at the Hongo Campus in Neuro Science. Unfortunately, I haven't seen him since then.

After that, I moved on to Health Insurance. I actually just wanted to briefly tell the people there that I already have health insurance for abroad. Well. Now I am insured three times. But at least it only costs 2000 Yen a month here…

After that, I went to

Asakusa Shrine! 

But honestly, not because of the shrine, but because Samy told me there was food everywhere. (I was hungry)

I was not disappointed:

It was somehow made of beans. No idea what it's called or what it should be.

Finally something hearty and definitely the best thing I've eaten there!

In Japan, it's always strawberry season! I'm sure I passed by these stands 5 times. The best part about it is the strawberries😅

I don't want to talk about how much money I spent there :|

Oh yeah, and here's the shrine:

There seemed to be more people than what was standing here.

Now let's remember the beginning: 0 hours of sleep. So before I fall asleep a second time on the subway or standing up, I bought myself a coffee for the first time in my life alone.

My God, by the end I was exhausted…

After that, I went to Tokyo Tower! (Very nice view, but it would be too much here otherwise…)

After that, I still went out to eat and then went home. There I got to meet the lovely Sophia from Austria! She also lives with me:)
