A long-awaited reunion

This entry is a little late but...meh.

An intriguing building in Shibuya
Days two and three in Japan were spent with one of my most favourite people. I was to meet Hiro at Meidaimae Station at noon for a good catch-up and general hang-out session.
Having spent the previous night crying myself to sleep, wanting nothing more than the fresh scents of 田舎、Hiro turned all that around the next day.
I didn't recognise him at first glance; his hair dyed back to its natural black (which suits him so well, no matter how he criticises it), wearing clothes I have never seen him wearing, but his 元気そうな顔 and Breedlove guitar in his hands was a comforting sight. It was nice to see someone I knew again.

Hiro was an absolute LEGEND for the couple of days he spent with me. He totally sorted out my mobile phone for me, took me around a few places in Tokyo and showed me that, actually, a "country-girl" like myself could survive in this technologically-advanced metropolis.
Hiro took me to the top of the Tokyo Government Office (This was the view)
So, I've had Ramen, explored Shibuya, been to the top of the Tokyo Government Office, had my first 'Okonomiyaki' experience, drunk 'Shouchuu' (a kind of Japanese vodka-ish...beverage) until the early hours of the morning and even managed to squeeze in a couple of much-needed 懐かしい hours of just him, my vocals and his beautiful guitar playing. Good times!

Sadly, he had to leave Sunday evening as lectures at Tsukuba started the following day. I had soooo much fun, though. Hiro, if you're reading this, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! He better come back soon *cough*; I wanna do karaoke with him....;p
