WHOOOOOOO Do You Think You Are?

We managed to survive the MarioKart tour of doom. Yes it was terrifying for the first 5 minutes or so...but all in all it was one of the coolest things we have done on a trip. Definitely worth doing if you are ever in Tokyo.

After MarioPerish it was time to continue with the shenanigans. Another thing to know about Tokyo is that they love all sort of cafes here. They have cat cafes where you can play with a bunch of cats. There is a Vampire cafe...a snake cafe...(no Jeff I am not EVER going there)...Apparently there is a 'boys love academy' cafe. I will not go into detail other than it's meant for creepy old dudes of the big gay homo variety....

Anyhoo, now that you are thoroughly skeeved out...on with the post! Jeff navigated us to an office building type place in the middle of the Harajuku district...

The Harajuku movement is sort of like a CosPlay kinda deal with people dressing up in all sorts of costumes. I'm sure there is a significance to it and I'm sure I could find that out if I Googled it, but this ain't that kinda blog. We celebrate being idiots!

When we got up to the 5th floor it was really confusing. There was like an office that also had plastic food in the window, but also maybe had actual food. Or MAYBE it was the trap for Hostel Part 4: Harajuku! Ooooh look pizza...

Next to the Hostel office was a super fancy salon and then there was the owl cafe...which turns out to be less of a cafe and more of a 'hey this is a room with owls in it that you can pet while they plot your demise'

Owl Cafe is much catchier...

So in we go and this cute girl explains the rules. There are certain owls we can pet and ones we can't and to just look at the signs and they will tell you what to do...the signs that are mainly in Japanese I might add...

Look how cute this one is! 

But apparently we can't pet Don...

He's apparently kind of a Dick...

And then there was this giant creepy one that wouldn't stop staring and Whoooooing at us...

And then there were two of them...WHOOOOOing at us. Jeff and I both were kind of terrified of these two. They sort of reminded me of something...

They are basically the Statler and Waldorf of the Owl Cafe...just mocking us the entire time that we were there...

We walked around petting and feeding the other owls. I'll spare you the picture of what we fed them, but it was pieces of some raw meat or organs. Or Statler and Waldorf's last victims.  After a little while the girls told us that we got to hold them now. So of course I was excited...

Hi, NO, I was mildly/totally terrified. They are cute far away, but they are definitely going to eat us. So I told the girl to pick a nice mellow one for me and she handed me this one. I forgot to take a picture of her name but we will just call her Lucinda...

Lucinda looks so cute and she was kind of sleepy so I felt a smidge less terrified...

Oh this isn't so bad, I can do this...

Meanwhile, Statler and Waldorf are plotting our murder...

Which kinda freaked Lucinda out...and me...

Oh God! Settle down Lucinda!

Still having fun! SO! MUCH! FUN!

Nothing to see here! This is so fun guys...sooooooo fun!

Hey lady, I think I'm good here...

After I was done perishing...I mean having all the fun...it was Jeff's turn to totally not perish. He also asked for a nice cute owl. Yeah good luck with that buddy!

Jeff got this little owl named Yuki. Look how cute-ki! (it's still 4am while I write this post, need a remind you. I think my pun game got stuck at customs) Yuki was so mellow...

How come he gets the Mellow owl and I get murder Owl?!?

She didn't freak out once, she was calm and happy to hang out...

Statler and Waldorf tried their best to piss her off but even they failed!

And we are sad to be leaving the Owl Cafe, well Jeff is because he hearts Yuki. I'm good!

Now we are off to something called the Monster Cafe. I barely survived the Owl Cafe, I don't see my odds of surviving being all that high. It was nice knowing you all...
