The Story of Hachiko:
Hachiko was born in 1923 and belonged to Mr. Uyeno. Everyday Hachiko would follow his master to Shibuya Station on his way to work and then meet him later that day to walk to him home. One day in 1925 Hachiko saw his master leave for work in Shibuya and when he returned later to walk him home Mr. Uyeno never came back. Mr. Uyeno passed away that day at work and story has it that Hachiko would return to that very spot every day and sometimes even stay for days in hopes that his master would appear. Hachiko waited there every afternoon until he himself passed away. This is the statue at Shibuya Station in memory of him.
We ate lunch at Denny's which has nothing on its menu like the Denny's in the US. I got sauted pork in a ginger sauce and I was even given chopsticks in a pretty pink wrapper.

I wonder how hard it is to type in Japanese
I walked in on an iTunes lesson
Shibuya Crossing. This is the main intersection of Shibuya where Shibuya Station is located. At the most busiest times of day thousands of people cross from every direction. This has to be the most famouse crosswalk in the world.
This is me walking across at around 5ish in the afternoon.
