Tokyo
Sensoji Temple
I woke up, 7am in the morning and decided to take a shower later. We wanted to see the temple with few people. And it's close to the hostel.
I wanted to try the fortune (I don't know what's it called)
Ok, we drop our 100yen then, make a wish while shaking the container, then, turn it upside down and wait for the stick to come out...look for the drawer with corresponding number of the stick, then pull it to get your fortune 😊
Aika (my roommate) knows how to read Japanese. So she's the one who read the number I got. 😊

| tying and putting the bad fortune in strings. |
I got a Regular fortune (or a happy fortune), while Aika got a bad fortune 😨. We met someone, like a grandpa, who explains what to do on it. Since it's a bad fortune, Aika was told to tie the paper in the string, to kill the evil...something like that, as for me, I need to keep it in my wallet 😊
Aika tried again, and this time, she got a medium fortune, meaning 50/50. Oh well at least it's not bad again 😊
We also tried the incense smoke, to purify your body (according to grandpa). Then Aika pray at the temple too. It's crazy, because Aika's fortune said to stop travelling. But she's in a tour now. LOL
I went back to the hostel, 'cause I need to shower and eat breakfast, then check out too.
The hostel had a arroz caldo, made by their Filipina staff. It was so good! I ate a lot, and soup is good during cold weather.
After I checked out, I left my luggage and head to Odaiba.
