After meeting a couple of Jase's colleagues briefly this morning we went to have breakfast in a coffee shop near Tokyo station. I had a huge donut & Jase had a huge cinnamon bun.
We then went to ikebukuro where we went shopping or browsing in Bic Camera which sells just about every electrical or tech type gadgets and appliances you could want. I like the hair driers, straighteners, curling tongues and hot brushes in every shade you could want!
We then went to Tokyu Hands store to look at the DIY and craft goods. On the top floor of Tokyu Hands is the nekobukuro or "cat house" you pay about £5 to spend as much time as you like in a room with about 20 cats. Jase didn't come in with me in case he was allergic.
Below are some photos of the cats I stroked. Most of the cats were sleeping but there were a few playing and one lazy cat who just lay on a table having his tummy rubbed. There are staff there who feed the cats and get them to play. They also make sure that the cats are rested and rotated between being in the room with people or in the glass walled cabins.
I had a lovely time with the cats.
We then looked around the Sunshine City shops ( not the most appropriate name considering the weather. ) We then had ton katsu for lunch which was delicious.
Our final shopping mission was to find some antihistamine cream for my mosquito bites. (I have 8 huge mosquito bites on my legs and one on my hand. ) We picked some up close to the hotel which was good.
