the following saturday, i went to yasukuni again (can't help it, class tour)
but before that i had a macdonald's breakfast with stella (cos we got the coupons for 350yen a set). love the mcgriddles!!
Photobucket
so sorry for the repeated yasukuni photos but i promise it gets interesting later :D

ooh there was a performance going on too. but i really didn't understand it. there's just japanese music and some weird ungraceful movements. i think it was some kind of ritual. i was just interested in their costumes.
Photobucket
Photobucket
there was also a bazaar going on. too bad we didn't have time to look on longer.
Photobucket
Photobucket
who's that hiding in the box?!
Photobucket
saw a weird person (apparently from some cult) trying to recruit people. stella says it may be the religion where thy can only marry within the same religion. yikes. sounds city harvest to me.
Photobucket
since it was 12, stella and i decided to go to a more interesting place - todai! tokyo university! yes THE tokyo university.tokyo daigaku, hence todai (i just knew it then and there too). organized by the ladies.
Photobucket
i actually didn't know that this door was that famous. it seems to be a leftover monument from the meiji (or was it tokugawa?) era.
Photobucket
Photobucket
we then went into the medical block upper floors to have lunch. look at the view from there! you can see tokyo dome!
Photobucket
Photobucket
and of cos the entire campus itself.
Photobucket
Photobucket
the place where we had our lunch.

Photobucket
after lunch, we were given a tour around the campus.
passed by a football field with the soccer-ers wearing all pink. kawaii!
Photobucket
and i bet you didn't know, there's a forest inside the campus... wow.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
felt like mitake when we climbed the slopes again...
Photobucket
so through the forest, we emerged in a victorian like haven

the place seriously felt so europe.
Photobucket

then we reached the clock tower. pretty!
Photobucket
Photobucket
we then tracked our way back to the entrance. lovely lamp.
Photobucket
feels damn weird to have a modern looking building here.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
i love the buildings so much! they are all so authentically ancient looking! all the way i kept thinking how wonderful it'll be if i could take my cosplay photoshoots here. :(
Photobucket
Photobucket
modern cafe?
Photobucket
and of cos before we go... souvenirs!
Photobucket
Photobucket
lego buildings of the school!
Photobucket
Photobucket
and that concludes todai.
