Tokyo - Day 2 - Akiabara and Shinjuku
Today was a short day. We were only up for about 11 hours. I think we were recovering from the quick attempt at a jet lag adjustment. On the bright side we woke up at about 5am today which gives us lots of daylight to enjoy.
Yesterday, after a quick breakfast of pasta at Pronto we hit up east Shinjuku for a walking tour, but Winnie quickly developed allergies we we headed home for some drugs and decided to spend the rest of the day in the climate controlled shopping malls of Akiabara, the electronics district. I bought a $12 airsoft desert eagle toy gun, that as it turns out I may have to spend $20 posting home or abandon here (who knew you couldn't check toy guns?). I also picked up some $4 RC toy cars that will be racing around the office once I return. Winnie, on the other hand, spent $40 on capsule toys and $10 on Canned Bread (boil it for freshly baked taste!). We'll be featuring the bread on Fictional Foods upon our return. Yum!
Off to go observe the subway car pushers at Shinjuku station during rush hour. Bye!
