Tuesday 13th Dec - Our day trip to Asakusa - Odaiba
On Tuesday we went for a day trip to Asakusa (old tokyo) where we saw the
sensoji temple, one of the biggest still standing in Tokyo.
From Asakusa we caught a river boat to some gardens in the heart of tokyo. Who says there is no trees in Tokyo?
From the gardens we captured a cool pic of the rainbow bridge.
From the gardens we moved on to Odaiba where we found a european style shopping centre - Venus Fort. This place even has its own virtual sky that changes from day to night.
and only 5 mins from Venus fort was our first stop at an onsen (Hot spring). Here is a pic of us just about to take a dip. Of course, its men in one section and girls in the other. Not a bad experience only that 45 degrees is reallly hot.

Our first sunday
Today we attended our first church service at
Jesus life house church !!!!
What an awsome experience, with around 300 people attending, we sang praise and worship in both english and japanese (in the same song). It is actually quite effective in worship.
Here are some pics of our new home church.
Here is a fuzzy pic of our new worship team.
