Tokyo -
3 areas visited so far
1. nice suburban area with takeaways everywhere serving all kinds of food and a bustling small shops type scene, pretty cool and also pretty.
2. touristland, meiji shrine, olympic memorial etc etc really good but food comparatively expensive.
3 akihabara electric city, THIS IS GEEK HEAVEN. Whilst not entirely overawed i can defoinitely appreciate this place... sega world with an entire floor dedicated to street fighter two, cheap everything everywhere, before it comes out in the uk, various gadgets, floor after floor of anime, dvds, film stuff (eg. busts pf darth vader and lightsabers (unfortunately i couldnt test them and they probably dont work).
off to central tokyo soon, then off to the country somewhere as yet unknown (fuji?? nagoya??? i dunno perhaps hokkaido.
erm... other stuff... trains awesome, weather awesome so far, vending machines practically every 2 paces...hot coffee really expensive but iced coffeee cheap from said vending machines.....McDs sell fish bites instead of chicken nuggets.... takeaway sushi really nice but watch the wasabi, turkish kebab van parked up on the kerbside really good but not very spicy and as much of a risk as any other dodgy kebab shop....
takeaway food everywhere really good pretty cheap, but breakfast is always a problem cos most places do not open until 10. This includes all normal shops, the place just doesnt start till ten.
