Tokyo with Friends

Yesterday I went to tokyo with a friend I met playing soccer named Kaito. He is a University student in Tokyo. He and his girlfriend Rina took me in by train. They did not speak much english but between their English and my Japanese we got by. They took me all over Tokyo. We went to Ginza, Shibuya, and Asakusa. I bought some cool new Japanese shoes, ate okonomiyaki for lunch, and then had an incredible time in Asakusa. Kaito and Rina were so nice to me and wanted me to try every food we could find and show me as much of Tokyo as possible. They were the best tour guides! After I came home from Tokyo I gave gifts from America to my host family. They were so happy, and all three of my brothers jumped on me to give me a hug and it turned into one big dog-pile with me at the bottom. Rie wanted to join in so she climbed to the top of the pile and started jumping up and down. My ribs are still a bit sore... After all of that excitement, we went out for dinner at a steak house for "American tasty meal". American taste isn't exactly how I would describe it but it was delicious none the less. What a day!
