Tales of Nippon: Diciembre 25, December 25th

A la hora de la comida fuimos a buscar a mi amigo al trabajo y fuimos los tres a comer a un restaurante indu, muy buena por cierto, y con un sabor distinto a la comida indu que habia probado en otros sitios, tal vez al estar mas cerca de la India... Despues lo devolvimos a su trabajo.
Emprendimos camino al Meiji Jingu, templo sintoista mas importante de Tokyo, aunque entramos por otro lado, no por Harayuku. Dentro del templo vimos como estaban llevando acabo los preparativos para ano nuevo. Compramos un par de amuletos tipicos y en lo personal puse una tablilla con un deseo en el arbol sagrado.
A la vuelta para recoger a mi amigo e irnos a casa, tomamos la salida de Harayuku y estuvimos zigzageando entre calles y parques.
Since my friend had to go to work (he works at Square Enix, translating the Final Fantasy VI for GBA version), we took him there and then my other friend (his girlfriend) and I went to Shinyuku, which is where all the skyscrapers are. We went into the building where the Town Hall is, since it has a viewpoint in the 42nd floor. Unfortunately there was a bit of fog that day and we couldn't see much, but on really good days it's even posible to see Mount Foji from up there.
At lunch time we went to look for my friend and the three of us went to eat to an Indian restaurant, quite good by the way, it had a different flavor from other Indian restaurants in which I have eaten, maybe being closer to India... After that we took him back to his work.
We made way to Meiji Jingu, the most important Sintoist temple in Tokyo, but we went in trough another entrance, not Harayuku. Inside the temple we saw how they where preparing for the New Year. We bough a couple of charms (amulets) and as for me, I hanged a wish on the sacred tree.
On the way back to pick up my friend from work, we just walked trough different streets and a couple of parks.
