New Year's Eve

We were informed that Tokyo station has illumination, and off we went~ Apparently, "Tokyo Millenario" is an annual event. We saw signs, and BOOM, it was flooded with people and cops. Despite the length of the line, the anticipation was over within an hour. From afar, it looked like the Taj Mahal, or a casino.

Throughout the night, we stumbled upon volunteers to take pictures for us, sample alcohol from Bailey's, live orchestras, an outdoor festival, and an indoor event at the Tokyo International Forum.

On the way to nowhere-land, Rob found "supernatural power."

Rob ate the biggest chili dog I have ever seen, and I found my new, favorite strawberry wine from Austria. Unfortunately, we downed a bottle later that night. It was the worst experience I have had with wine. We ate our way through the night; we even bought Sri Lanka food, but it wasn't very impressive.

Inside the International Forum, there were vendors from hotels, the new FIFA ball, etc.

Oh boy. There were so much more to that day than I can explain in this entry.
