Where would you go?

So, Mely has been chatting with her elusive-yet-finally-captured travel buddy, discussing what kinds of things we'd like to do for the first week or so when we first arrive in Tokyo

I'd go with Ueno Koen, with random stops at the Hachiko statue in Shibuya, definitely Akihabara. Of course, first thing I'd do in Tokyo is get a hold of my friend mippa, who lives there.

well, the golden turd is a must, for starters (actually, it's supposed to represent beer foam, but, no) check it out:

"Kin no unchi"? Fabulous. I never actually saw it before. Although I never really did the touristy Asakusa bit myself.

I'm definitely going to ravish the ceramics scene once I'm out there. Too bad the stuff's too heavy to bring back as practical souvineers.

Leave it to the Vickster to recommend such sights. :)

And yeah, I'll keep the reference in mind just in case. Thanks. Hope you're doing well out there. ^-^

Note: I was living in Nakano last summer, and I couldn't find the Mandrake. If you know someone else who has been there, ask them to take you. Otherwise, go to the one in Shibuya-It's DAMN big ^_

Wow. Thank you so much
