Day 4 Tokyo solo

Due to things shifting under me I ended up with a day without plans today.

So I headed to Nakano Broadway.

On way however, a friend recommended this restaurant as having the best Katsu curry in Tokyo.

Not one to turn down the 'best curry in Tokyo' for all of £5...

They use beef in the sauce in place of the usual potatoes and carrots.

It tasted pretty great.

Would recommend

Nakano Broadway is a shopping center within the wider Tokyo area.

It's kind of a better akihabara.

It has a bunch of shops selling anime merch,

The best maid cafe in Tokyo, An amazing restaurant that costs all of £7 a meal

And it doesn't take 3 days to find everything like akihabara

I didn't actually take many photos in the centre...

I went to the maid cafe Koro neko, for an hour an a half and chatted with the maid Chika who was very pleasant.

You can't really take photos in the maid cafe, unless you pay extra. Here's one of Chika's 🆔

After Nakano Broadway Emi and myself went to a dance lesson.

The teacher of the lesson she wanted to go to I consider to be....... Substandard.

While Emi things the teacher I like is rude, blunt and abrasive.

So we compromised and went to a lesson by a teacher neither of us knew.

The lesson was Dominican bachata rather than the sensual that I usually learn.

I have exactly zero interest in learning any more Dominican bachata.

But everyone was very friendly.

When I saw Emi before I gave her some sweets from the UK.

I received a home made cookie in return, returning gifts like this is called okaeshi お返し.

Was tasty.

I can now cross receiving a homemade cookie off my Japan bucket list.
