HEY GUYS! So I got to Tokyo, Japan really early in the morning! I am so tired from the flight but i went and changed over my dollars to some yen! Now i can buy whatever i want ! Including some delicious Japanese food!
At the airport i saw maccas ! i was pumped as but then i thought, hey! why not have some yummy japanese food so i ended up buying some gyoza dumpings. I must tell you it was delicious! Gyoza are dumplings that can either be deep fried, steamed, boiled or pan fried. I did get mine pan-fried which is the most common way of eating them! the dumplings have a filling inside which can vary with who makes them, but mine had some ground pork and cabbage. i was told that they originated in china but were brought into japan in the 17th century. 
After we got picked up by our tour guide we got taken to our hotel. It was so great to lie down on a bed! i had a bit of a nap before we went on our first shopping trip in Japan! Lucky i knew some Japanese which is the language that they speak in Japan because it was really helpful! I went shopping in the Hello Kitty Shop! It was so cool! As you can see in the picture it was big! I didnt know there was so much hello kitty stuff in the world! I saw a Hello Kitty toaster! it toasts the hello kitty logo on your toast! HOW COOL! Hello Kitty originated in Japan in 1974 which is 36 years ago! Hello Kitty was originally made to bring out the preteen girl in every girl. It was first made on a plastic coin purse ! See i am learning a lot while i am over here ! 
For Lunch after our shopping trip we went to a little sushi bar we found. It was the most amazing sushi i think i had ever eaten! For those of you who do not know, sushi is seaweed rice some salads and most of the time a some sort of meat or fish. As we know i DO NOT like fish i was a little worried because it is most commonly filled with seafood. Luckily i had some sushi that was filled with chicken teriyaki, it was very tasty indeed. On the outside of the sushi was the seaweed witch had rice around it in the middle, then inside that was some cucumber along with other vegetables.
So now im back at the hotel blogging about my awesome day! but i think i best start getting ready for tonight and tomorrow ! We are going out for tea tonight and i really hope i get some Miso Soup or some Tempura vegetables! I have heard they are great ! I'll keep you posted !
Blog number 1!
