Week 4 Jan 30-Feb 5

February is almost over, but being so busy I haven't had a chance to update!

Here is week 4 aka January 30th to February 5th.

On the 31st we went to eat Korean food. We ate hotpot, we got the non-spicy kind since I'm not too fond of spicy food.

Hotpot when it was nice and simmered

Spicy!! Didn't try it.

This week was Setsubun or the "Bean-throwing Festival" on the February 3rd. Setsubun is the day between winter and spring and people go to temples and shrines to throw beans at people dressed up in demon masks to drive away evil spirits yelling "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi" which means: Demons out! Luck in!

My classmate オレリアン as the demon.

On Sunday we made a day trip to Roppongi, because there was a "good" Scandinavian restaurant. I didn't really care for it much, not much of a selection and super expensive for very little food. The restaurant was so popular that we had to wait for 40 minutes for seats. So we went for a walk to a nearby museum.

Museum, I can't remember the name of it

Scandinavian restaurant "Daisy"

My lunch.

We also walked around for a bit in Roppongi hills. Roppongi is the most "western" place in Tokyo and it sure felt like it. There were more western people there than I've seen the whole time I've been here.

We did manage to see Tokyo tower!
