This is mine...
I don't think I did too badly too badly for my first ever time... Must have been the good instructors!
Then we decided that we'd like to check out Akihabara (electric town)...Our guide was supposed to finish after out sushi lesson (but true to what i'm discovering about Japanese people) stayed, took us there, and showed us around for free. Akihabara is the electronics and Anime district.
We saw this guy just randomly standing around...
And her...
Then Corinne and i decided to ditch the boys (nicely) and go in search of girly treats...
Tonight we went to Ginza which is like the 5th Avenue of Tokyo. All the 'high-end' shops are here.
Its not the best weather for photo-taking unfortunately...its a little wet.
We had dinner at a fantastic restaurant in Ginza tonight. It was a traditional Japanese-style venue with little rice-paper private compartments. You had to remove your shoes at the door, but you didn't sit on the floor, but on very low (comfortable) bench seats. We had a fantastically delicious dish called Shabu-Shabu. Its a boiling hot pot of stock/water that sits in the middle of the table that you cook your own noodles, finally sliced meat and vegetables in. We also had the hilarious experience of witnessing some Japanes businessmen being carried out of the restaurant after too much sake. This is a common occurence apparently..haha! Good on them for knowing how to have a good time... they work REALLY long hours in Japan, and my opinion is they definitley deserve it.
The public transport IS absolutely amazing here. Trains/subways, monorails just criss-crossing everywhere. You couldnt possibly need a car...
Well, we have a HUGE day tomorrow at Hakone (im looking foraward to the cable car/onsens and museums)..i'm off to bed. The other guys are off in search of good times in Tokyo so will have some pretty interesting photos for you i'm sure. :-)
