The 'Rents Visit Days 3 & 4

Day Three
Monday is my Japanese lesson day (an intensive course which I can't cancel/retake, I don't mean to be a bad daughter), so while I was studying, I abandoned left my parents in a nearby Japanese Garden, Koishikawakorakuen (now that's a mouthful!).
Here are photos my mum took:

 

 It looks lovely, I'll have to go myself someday!

After having yummy Mexican Food, I took my parents to Ice Cream City for pudding! As much as I tried to convince them to try eel, crab, fried noodles or wasabi ice cream, they finally settled for vaguely normal flavours ;_;

Day Four
A bit of a nervous day for me.. today was the day I introduced my man to my parents!
We took my parents to the Imperial Palace, but discovered it was only open two days a year, but here are some photos anyway:

 It got a bit drizzly, so we ducked into a Soba restaurant for some lunch..

 

 (Look at those chopsticks!)
 Then we headed to Sensouji Temple in Asakusa where we took our fortunes..

 My Dad was the only one to receive a good fortune.. (pictured right)
The bad luck my mum, Toshi and I received decided to BUCKET down on us for the next 30 mins...

We legged it through the rain to Ginza, a high-end upper class district for a full Omakase Dining experience, where the dishes build up in size and are of superb quality. It's a typical course that businessmen would treat their clients to. I lost count, but we enjoyed perhaps up to twelve dishes (ranging from pickles to poached fish to fruit).

I needn't have worried, Toshi being the gentleman he is, I'm sure he made a good impression ^^ Phew!
