Day 14, Back to Tokyo, Ghibli museum, Akihabara

From James:

Today we went to the Studio Ghibli Museum [they made Totoro, Spirited Away, and Kiki's Delivery Service movies, among others]. It had a large variety of things that showcased how much effort went into making an animated film. For example, the animations for eating. They had a wall covered with highly detailed sketches, showing how the food should move while the character is eating it. 





They also had a short film that you could watch in a small theater. It was a story about an old couple who live on a hillside, and the mice that were living in the same house, trying to win a match of sumo.

After we were done with the museum, we went back to Akihabara, and were given free time to walk around and look too see if we wanted anything.



We also met one of Sensei's former students who is now living in Japan. His name is Xai Her.



Later that night, we dropped our stuff off at the capsule hotel, and had a party where we ate and shared our experiences about the trip so far. 

After eating, we went to karaoke, and had a lot of fun singing different songs together.


We saw Tokyo Skytree light up at night from our hostel.
