Today is Good Friday. There seems to be no hint of any celebration today in Tokyo. Life goes on as normal, with shops still open and just as much people on the streets.
Maybe in a way, there is a great need for the gospel here. I am constantly being reminded of this in my travels to Asia. Who is willing to be the messager in these parts of the world? I was thinking how ironic things are - we are more willing to learn a foreign language for travel than to learn one for the purpose of gospel.
The last two days were basically spent shopping in Shinjuku, Shinbuya and Harajuku. It is so funny that every time I walk into a shop, people think I am Japanese. Maybe it is because of the way I dress now - beannie and scarf - just like the other Jap guys. Also went to Rappoggi Hills today, and marvelled at the design of the LV building. While we were there, we went up to the observatory deck of the Mori Tower, and had a marvellous view of the whole of Tokyo.
My second travel buddy has been missing in action for two days. He probably went out himself with some of his friends. Well, given that he is not interested in shopping and stuff, maybe this is a good thing.
My travel buddy and I have been doing alot of 'chick spotting' during our time in Japan. We even tried to take photos, but at times was found out by others, resulting in the target turning away. This is something I would not do in Sydney. I wonder why I am doing it here.
Last day in Tokyo tomorrow - so much to do, so little time left.
