I work up at 4:47 this morning... weird... it's light outside. Sunrise is at 4:27am... wowza. I finally go back to sleep, but everyone is starting to get up pretty early. I'm not sure if it's due to it being Sunday, or if it's just normally like this, but not a whole lot is open before 10:00am. That's ok, we get in another of our "must do's"... a short walk to buy food and drinks from a 7/11. Very tasty that first 7/11 egg salad sandwich. It has the hype for good reason.
We all clean up a bit, dress, and look at how best to get to the MORI digital art exhibit, teamLab. Turns out, a taxi was waaaay quicker and not too expensive. A bit of a fun walk/wait due to all the one way streets around the apartment, ie. the taxi can't easily get anywhere. But in the end, we found each other. A nice ride to the museum. We were early and it's inside a huge plaza, so we did some exploring and found a great coffee shop and grabbed some drinks and snacks.
Ok, close to time so we walk and enter the exhibit. Wow, it was really great. We stayed inside almost two hours. I'll post a few pictures, but everyone's favorite seemed to be the room with the lighted balls. A cool runner up was the Lilly pads where you could affect the 'fish' buy moving your hands.
Art seen, we take another taxi to the post office where we pick up the baseball game tickets we ordered. Post office? Ummm... ok... that's what it said.
Tickets in hand, we walk to the metro for a short ride, then long walk around the Tokyo Dome to our entrance. A section in the outfield which was also the cheering section! And if you haven't seen Japanese baseball games and cheering, well, it's insane and pretty much constant.
Got food and beer (yay beer!) and enjoyed and even joined in the chants and singing! Afterwards, we take the metro all the way back to the apartment. It's going to be a short rest before some dinner, and probably a pretty early crash. Great day for sure, but we're (or at least me) definitely needing to catch up on rest.
