Blades of Glory and YASAKA

Last day of work before the new year for Chie. That is why she finished working at just past noon and went directly to Ebisu where she met me. From Ebisu we took the JR Yamanote line to Shibuya where we bought two tickets for the Blades of Glory movie.

Before the movie started we had time to have lunch at DOUTOR, a cafe in Japan. We had tuna and chicken grilled sanwiches with coffee and hot chocolate. We also had time to watch part of a street show arranged by YouTube outside 109.

First up was some girls doing a lot of screaming. Second up was a school girl doing some kind of robot dancing. But third up was our favorite… Gamarjobat. The silent comedy duo that we watched on Christmas eve in Yokohama.

We could only see part of the show before we had to run to the movie. Still it was so funny. And Chie had a chance to talk with them before the show. Just to tell them that we saw them on Christmas eve and that we really enjoyed the show and ganbatte (keep fighting/do your best).

Luckily we were in time for the movie. We also had time to visit the bathroom and buy a big popcorn. Then we laughed for one and a half hour. Most of the time for the crazy movie and sometimes for a silly laugh that a girl in the audience had. But we still enjoyed the movie.

On or way home we stopped to buy breakfast for tomorrow. Then we took a bus and stopped at YASAKA to have a dinner. Again the staff is so friendly at YASAKA. And next to us was an old Japanese guy that started to talk with us about Sweden, Japan, aurora, and many other things. We had a fun time enjoying good food and good new friends.
