Although we survived the night in this haunted hotel, DENO HAS BRANDING ON HIM!!!!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have since found out that this HOTEL IS HAUNTED!

...and realised that yes, it wasn't our imagination, it actually is quite seedy, even on a Saturday morning

If you don't know why Shakey's is relevant ask Deno sometime. He will love to tell you-Just as he told the waiter who took us to our table

We walked back to Ueno station. In the heat, & mostly in the sun because google maps was telling Deno he had to be on that side of the road

I know Deno was dying to "draw his own picture" again but they didn't take cards & we had no cash on us so we didn't make our own noodles.

When you are ready to order, you flip that "Run Forrest Run" sign over and they come over and take your order.

Not the lycra wearing kind, just normal people who are wanting to get from one place to another.

... and these photos come under things we DID NOT eat...

I'm also scared to leave the place because I'm not 100% sure I can get us back

I looked to Deno and said "I think we're about to get kidnapped - at least we'll be able to stay in Japan"

I'd like to change my opinion. I never want to see it or hear of it again.I tried it, I've had the experience. I never have to do that again

There are a TON of tourists here. So many, that at times it didn't even feel like I was in Japan.

You lift the lid, sit down and press the button and whammo.... ice cold butt.

So I just said 大丈夫 (Daijōbu) and hoped for the best.

The minute they start talking back in actual sentences I look like a stunned reality contestant who's had too much botox/filler

I'm sure Deno doesn't believe me when I say I've had these conversations. I do seem to have the best conversations when he's not around.

This morning I woke up, turned to my husband sleeping peacefully in bed and in my most seductive voice said "Nihon ni iki mashou" Groggily

Even if you get a ‘green’ walk sign, doesn’t mean that traffic is going to stop.

They chose each other and it was bad. Badder than bad. It was horrific.
