Bus to Jinda-di temple, Tokyo; Kichojoji for Shopping


On city bus with Aikou on my last day in Tokyo. She speaks no English and I speak even less Japanese. 


The lady at the soba restaurant laughed when I told her -- I speak no Japanese; Aikou speaks no English. We had quite a day trying to communicate.

Basically I followed her lead and said "okay" a lot. I tried to use Google translate, but the application kept getting stuck so we were only able to communicate basics -- bathroom, food, bus, buy.

I did manage to buy a few souvenirs in Kichojoji.

We were supposed to meet up with Naoko at 6:30, but gave up and took a cab home. 

In preparation for tomorrow's flight, I took a long nap!
