Went to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. It's my new favourite place in Tokyo. Maybe this is because I'm fed up of the endless streets, train tracks and back alleys found in Tokyo. Concrete buildings get boring.
It was 200 yen to enter and this makes all the difference. The small price prevents the crowds coming in and ruining the place. Even though it was a sunny Sunday afternoon there were not too many around the park considering its size and it was very quiet. Perfect.
There were a couple of themed gardens in the park. One of them said it was an English style garden. However, it looked to us like a big field. Maybe my dog had eaten all the plants?
The Japanese garden was really nice though. All the Japanese seemed to be just interested in the new chrysanthemums (got that right in one, thank you very much) which I don't understand. They're ugly as sin. If you're reading this and thinking of sending me flowers: send tulips. Cheers.
