Today I did a bit of exploring as I had to go to my ward's office to get my alien registration card. I rode the community bus over to the civic center, got my card, and then went for a walk around the Tokyo Dome and the surrounding area. I must say, the Tokyo Dome is quite the place. It not only has the baseball stadium where the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants play, but there are shopping centers, many restaurants, an amusement park, which by the way has an awesome-looking roller coaster, and probably much more. It is a colorful campus which I can only compare to if the Anaheim Angel's had their stadium in Disneyland. Of course in this case it is the wealthy Yomiuri Giants creating a funland around their stadium, not the stadium inside the park. So I guess it is more like if the Yankees built an amusement park around their Stadium, but right now no one is very amused in New York :). (if you don't follow baseball than you won't get that joke)
Sorry to ramble on about the stadium but it was honestly quite awe-inspiring. The roller coaster has a section on the department store's roof! Anyways, during this escapade I picked up 2 tickets to watch the Chunichi Dragons (my favorite Japan League team) play the Giants next week! Im very excited, Japanese baseball is amazingly fun to watch. Plus, I get to sit in the Giants section which will really add to the ambiance and the experience of the game. Im in right field so hopefully I'll catch a home run ball!
