Day 8:

Internet Cafe Sleepover

I lived a day that my friends say resembles the Tokyo University student lifestyle. I could only sleep for three hours before checking out from my hotel, so I went to an Internet Cafe for a few more before going out again.

All drinks are free for Internet Cafe users.

I had Gyudon at Yoshinoya, a very low-cost and fast meal.

More drinks and Ramen
I met a group of friends for drinks and we went to a Ramen bar. This bar is popular for having divisions between the seats so that the customers can focus on eating the Ramen, which is very good.

About 15 Days in Japan

This a visual diary of my first experiences in Japan as I travelled across the country and met many different people in 2013.

This blog is inspired by the wonderful 19 Days in Japan, which I used as a model. Please have a look at it and support the work Lena and Filipe have done. Mike Mata's One Week In Japan timelapse is also an inspiration and motivation.
