Independence and Odaiba

On Friday, I went for a walk in the neighborhood all by myself. I walked to a large train station nearby, Shinagawa station, and went inside a little mall-like-thing next to it (just as a side note: you know how king sized hersheys bars used to be? Thicker and longer instead of wider? Well, that's the way they are here.). On the way back, I decided to go to Happo-en park to eat lunch (some tempura from the grocery store). Unfortunately, once I got there, there was a sign inside saying 'please refrain from eating or drinking.' Fortunately, that sign was in english- don't want to be yelled at in japanese :|! So anyways, I was all proud about finding my way to the station, park, and back again without getting lost :)  I am soo ready for going around on my own now, right  ;D  After getting back, we went to Odaiba, which is famous for its weird architecture, joypolis (a virtual reality theme park), and this huge ferris wheel that they have. I got my first japanese ramen at a restaurant with a great view of the bay (that I got to see change from sunset to night with all the lights). Alright, here are the photos I took:
