Last day in Japan

Today is the last full day in Japan and the first full day in Tokyo that we have had this whole trip. Today was the day that we fulfilled the other dream of this trip, which was going to the Studio Ghibli museum (for those not in the know, this is the studio that Hayao Miyazaki who did films such as Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, and Howell's moving castle (he is the Japanese Disney)). Surprisingly enough the tickets to this museum are extremely hard to get, so we had a friend who is living in Japan right now buy them for us before we came to make sure we could get in. Sometimes in trips expectations can ruin a good time, this was not one of those times. The museum is one of the best I have ever been too, that was not dedicated to fine arts. It is set up in a way that mixes museum and exploritorium, which is really fun. There is no set path to explore the exhibits, so one just gets lost and explores. The building itself was designed with his films in mind, which adds the the disneyland-esk experience. For Cuyler and I (who have seen most of the movies) we had an amazing time. I could go on, but I wont so that I do not bore.
After this, we went to Akihabara, which is where the nerds hang out for the most part. Thirteen year old me would have loved this place, but it was nice to see some of the crazy stuff they come up with. Explored the shops, and then headed to Ruppongi, which is where a lot of the foreigners hang out. There is a set of buildings there where people live, shop, and work, it is a building where you could live and work in and never leave the building. Cuyler and I looked around a bit, most of the shops were too expensive to even care, and then went to a cool restraunt for the last night. It is all fried stick food that comes in courses, hard to explain but very tasty, we enjoyed it much. Then it was back to the hostel to lift a couple of amber beverages with the locals and then head to bed.
