Odaiba

Today the interns and some coworkers took a trip to Odaiba, an artificial island that is part of Tokyo.

It is the home of Fuji Television:

We ate in this fancy shopping mall, had some pretty delicious chinese food:

After that we headed for this museum, but we ran into this big cosplay gathering before we got there.  Apparently you were supposed to pay to take pictures, but nobody stopped us:

At the museum, they had an Asimo robot, it was pretty cool, a little creepy how human-like it is:

After that, we played some pool and had okonomiyaki, and it was awesome.  Of course our senpais paid for more than their share of everything, because they are too nice.  

The rest of this week has been going pretty smoothly... I was pretty exhausted the beginning of the week, from not sleeping much on Saturday, and from staying up on Tuesday to watch the Japan world cup game, which they lost in penalty kicks, unfortunately.

On Friday, we went with the same people went to Odaiba with for Thai food, and then some of us also went out to do Karaoke, but everywhere was full since it was Friday night.  So we went to an izakaya instead.  After that we partied in my room for a few hours, playing some drinking games.  We were so loud, I'm wondering how long it's going to be before they kick us out of this hotel.

Maybe we'll find out next week. But hopefully not.
