ageo, i love you.

on sunday, after sleeping off the intensity of saturday, i left tokyo for ageo.

my friend genna lives there. the biggest city to ageo is omiya, where i had my initial training when i first came to japan. i met up with her in omiya for shopping. the ironic thing is...of all the shopping in tokyo, i actually found things i wanted to buy in omiya (i haven't found much in tokyo. maybe because there's too many choices.)!

i stayed the weekend with genna in ageo. the first thing i noticed when i got off the train was the smell of trees. i was amazing to actually smell trees. 

so, i'm in love with ageo. 

everything is so cute in this little town.

and i had one of the best weekends since i've moved to japan. it's pretty ironic that it was in ageo, a tiny little suburb of tokyo. 

we ate at this super amazing indian restaurant (with actual indian owners) that played a bunch of bollywood music videos on this giant flatscreen t.v. while we ate, we walked around and i took pictures of things. oh, and we had a pretty amazing time at the karaoke bar (note: the little mermaid's "under the sea" is one of the most philosophical songs that has ever been written. i am not joking.)

thank you for such an amazing weekend, genna!
