Friday night, we went to one of the busy city centers and wandered around. There was an alley full of little restaurants...we stopped in one for a beer and some food.
I'm a little obsessed with the trains here. They are everywhere, coming and going every which way, and totally cut right between buildings and neighbourhoods and they're awesome. Here is a picture of one.
This is a picture of the street from the station to my dorm. MUCH quieter!
The next morning we woke up at 4am to hit up the fish market! It was super busy, super huge, and they hated tourists. I swear everyone there was trying to run me over and murder me.
Boss Coffee baby (it sucks).
A couple of pics of early morning Tokyo.
Some temple.
Akihabara aka Electronics City. Lots and lots of huge electronics department stores FILLED with every brand of everything. Also lots of anime stores and people. I didn't get enough time to explore this area, definitely going back. Also, notice the train bridges that cut through the buildings. I know, I'm obsessed.
Finally we went to some other shrine or temple or something. You could buy a tablet and write a prayer on it and hang it here. Kind of nice!
Guess that's it for now! Probably no updates for a few days, just going through the motions of daily life in Tokyo...but if I do snap some more pics, you'll be the first to know. No not you, you!
