First Day in Tokyo - 5/10

   Everyone was so excited to go to Tokyo. For me, before i came to Tokyo, I thought it was a city that like many other big cities which were super crowed and depressed. However, Tokyo was not like what I thought. Even though I didn't explore Tokyo too much and I lived in a hotel located at Shinagawa, I felt like it was a dream city. Still, it was super clean. There were a lot of people in this city. However, I didn't feel the same as the way I felt at Shanghai, which was overwhelming. It was kind of abstract to describe my feelings specifically to Tokyo. But it was obvious that I loved this city.

We spent our first night at Tokyo with MSU Japanese alumni. They graduated from MSU and had great business at Japan. During the light party, I found one of people who donated my study aboard trip, Mr. Takenaka. I thanked him for his generosity. He was really nice and introduced his son to give me his name card. Right now I found our that Mr. Takenaka owns one of four biggest construction companies in Japan. How cool it is!

During the party, I also met a girl who studied Asian Politics at MSU. She is studying her master degree at Japan. I really admired her because she decided to study her master degree after 3 year working experience. I think it was really brave for her because it might be risky for giving up a job. However, she came to Japan alone and studied here.

 After the party, we went to a street which had bunches of stores related to Japanese anime at Akihabara. Unfortunately, I didn't know much about it so everything seemed to be boring for me.

 Then, we went to Roppongi to see the night view of the city Tokyo.
