Ikebukuro [ 池袋 ]

Welcome to Tokyo !!

After we arrived we've took the bus to Ikebukuro, where our hotel is.

We need long time to find it because there was a mistake at our map, but we found friendly people who helpted us (and everywhere are 'you are here'-maps from the part of the town) !!

Our hotel is rlly nice. Good price, good location and friendly english speaking staff.

[The hotel is called 'Sakura Hotel' - I recommend it to everyone]

If u want to go shopping it's the right part of town.

In Ikebukuro you can find the Sunshine Building. It's a big shopping center where you can find all end everything including a aquarium and a planetarium. We wantetd to go to the aquarium but the queue was so long that we go shopping for more than six hours.

In the evening we went around at the streets from Ikebukuro. There are so many little shops, restaurants - and many many lights. It doesn't matter if it's night or day - there are always many ppl on the road. And they are loud. But that's okay..and funny because we don't understand anything ^^"

We went to an English Pub..just for fun and found 'Paulaner Weißbier *laugh*

In the evening are sometimes musicians on the street. Mostly young rock/pop bands. I rlly like them. One of them is 'MarletMine'. They are so nice and friendly. I bought a CD from them and they were verry happy - good luck guys. You are awesome (^_^)/ 

I found a shop full of clothes and music that I like. I bought so much MUCC merch. Totally in love with it because it is all so cheap !!

A bit of general: It was rlly strange at the beginning but all ppl starring on us. You feel always discreetly observed. But you get used to it ^_^°

I like this town. I'm excited 'bout the last few days.
