Exploring More of Tokyo

Spending the week exploring more of Tokyo.  Here are some pics of our latest escapades in Japan.

The Games, Oh My the Games!

Our first full day in Tokyo was spent with a friend who gave us a fantastic tour of downtown Tokyo, took us to Akihabara (Electric Town), put up with our dismal singing at Karaoke, and got us pretty drunk.  All-in-all it was an amazing day.  But for me the highlight was Akihabara.  A place I've dreamed of going to since I first picked up a video-game controller.  I won't go into too much detail, other than it lived up to the hype - much nerding was done.

In A Daze.

Well, we made it.  It was a long, tiring journey of over 24hrs, but we are finally in Tokyo.  We checked out our apartment, took a zombified stroll around the local area, which unexpectedly led to us stumbling across Shibuya Crossing, and then bought our first meal, noodles from a vending machine - how appropriately Japanese.  Here are a  few random pics.  Stay tuned for more coherent posts in the future.

Beauty.

Indeed.
