On Tuesday, I decided to do a little exploring on my own (mainly because everyone else was so tired from the night before). I chose to check out Shibuya, mainly because I remembered that Hachiko was there (I only know about Hachiko due to a video game, haha). I ended up wandering over to the park right before Meiji Jingu, and I was glad for it, because the weather was absolutely gorgeous this day. I did also head over to Meiji Jingu itself, and checking out the park within (I think it's called Yoyogi?). While there, I came across a man who was feeding birds peanuts straight out of his hand. He handed me some to try, and what do ya know? I had at least ten birds come to take nuts from me. It was so fun!

After I left Meiji Jingu, I headed over to Harajuku, since it was so close. I didn't spend too much time here, as it was starting to get late, but I did end up getting dinner at this nice little place. I don't remember the name, nor the name of the dish itself, just that it was risotto. It was my first time actually trying risotto, and I can say that I wasn't disappointed. After dinner, I headed back to the hostel to meet up with the others, and began talking with some of the other guests at the hostel. At some point, it was decided that we should all go to karaoke. There were ten of us, and we ended up having to try a few different places, as one had no rooms availabel, and another was just a bit pricey. We ended up at this one place that was an izakaya on the first and third floor, and karaoke on the fifth. The karaoke room was a bit small for all of us, but we managed, and ended up singing until maybe 3 am. It was such a fun time with new friends. It makes me look forward to the next time I am in a hostel!
