Day 3:
We got up early and fit in everything else we wanted to see in Tokyo.
*Went to the 45th floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for a free lookout of the city
* Went to the Sumo Museum and stadium, unfortunately no matches were going on at the time
*Found the Electric City and Ginza full of the latest gadgets
*Walked around the outskirts of the Imperial Palace cause the actual palace is only open to the public twice a year and unfortunately were 15 minutes too late to get into the gardens surrounding the palace
*Explored the port area of Yokohama

*And back to the Yokomori's in the evening

Sumo Stadium

Day 4:  TOKYO DISNEY!
Brent was determined to go to Disneyland so off we went.  First we dropped our luggage off at the bus station where we were taking a bus back to Nagoya the next day because it was out of the way to go back to the Yokomori's for the night so they suggested an internet cafe (more on that in a minute).  Tokyo Disney was almost identical to Disneyland in California... same layout, same rides (minus one or two), it was almost like being back in America for a time.  We had a great, fun filled day!  Then the question was where were we going to sleep that night.  Brent thought the idea of an internet cafe was a little sketchy, but the Yokomori's made it sound like no big deal.  So we checked out one that we weren't sold on and debated back and forth just finding a cheap hotel, but of course we are into saving money so... we were at a really nice internet cafe just the other day and it was only 2 stops away from where we needed to catch the bus the next day so we headed to that one.  It was definitely an experience, you would never think to stay at an internet cafe but plenty of people must do it cause they have nightly rates and you can pay to take a shower and everything.  However the rooms are teeny, tiny and not even real rooms...four walls with an open top so you can hear everything in the other rooms.  They give you the choice of sitting on the floor or having a chair and we decided there would be more room for both of us if we got one with just the floor.  The floor had padding so it wasn't too bad to sleep on but unfortunately for brent he is a lot taller than the average person staying there so he couldn't even lay all the way straight in the room.  Oh quite an experience it was, now we know if you are ever in need of a cheap place to stay an internet cafe may be your best bet :)

Then a 6.5 hour bus ride back from Tokyo this afternoon and back home in Nagoya we are, feels good to have a little break from traveling.  We will stay around here a day, then head down near Osaka and Kyoto, then train back up a little ways and meet back up with the Yokomori's in their hometown.

Yep thats it...THE INTERNET CAFE, also known as a cheap place to sleep!
