For the afternoon, we headed out to Shibuya to meet one of Ami's college friends, Aya, for dinner. Shibuya is just a crazy place. As a you can tell below, it is jam-packed with bodies.
There was some sort of rally going on at Shibuya. I guess they were rolling out a new jury system in Japan that folks weren't too happy about. I'm not sure how the bird ties into the rally, but it just added to the craziness of Shibuya.
We had dinner at this quaint little place that served okonomiyaki. It is basically a omlette/doughy-like dish you can order with all kinds of fillings. You mix the ingredients at your table and cook it yourself on the grill. You put special sauces and shaved bonito on top after it cooks. I've never seen this before in the US but definitely a must-try when in Japan. We tried three different types that night - a seafood version, a veggie version, and of course a meat version (with pork, etc.) This is what it looks like when you get it from the waitress.
When you cook it, it looks like this. After you brown it on both sides, you put all the sauces and fixings on top. 
For dessert, we went to a dessert shop in Shibuya called Cozy Corner. By Japanese standards, they serve monster-sized desserts (what we would consider normal size in the US). 
Ami's aunt loves cats. Loves cats. However, the cats really didn't like us too much and pretty much hid from us (namely Kai) when we were there. The one rare instance one of them came out of hiding, I was able to shoot a picture. This is Pal-chan, or with a Japanese accent, "Paru-chan."
