Tokyo Swan 2: School, Nippon Budokan, and Elton John



So here we are with another episode of Tokyo Swan, a series about my life as a study abroad student at Keio University in Tokyo. With this being my second episode, I found myself really fascinated with my new surrondings. Of note in this episode, I was really interested in how Tokyo was a city where you would have very modern buildings and structures next door to temples and shrines. This was very true for the area of the imperial palace in the heart of Tokyo. I also was getting used to all of the walking around one does in Tokyo as compared to Kalamazoo. In this early episode, I don't think my feet were still quite used to all of the distance I was covering.

This episode also marked my quest to get tickets to see Elton John perform live at the Nippon Budokan, which is a very famous martial arts hall in Japan. Would I be succesful in getting a ticket? You'll have to watch further episodes to find out!
