This is Ameyoko, an alley in Ueno where we hang out a lot, with cool places to eat and drink.
A beach in Odaiba, which is an artifical island in the bay, looking back at Tokyo.
This is the big festival in Asakusa we found. That gate there is Hozo-Mon gate, apparantly.
This is Akihabara, an area with lots of electronics stores. We didn't really find much there, but we'll probably go back.
This is a building in the imperial palace garden, which is freaking huge and pretty. Being emperor must be pretty sweet.
This is us with Makoto, in front of a Pachinko parlor. We went to a party at his house last night, which was super fun.
This is
Jicoo Floating Bar, a bar inside a spaceship-lookin ferry that goes back and forth across Tokyo Bay while you drink expensive drinks. It was rad.
A Japanese-style toilet. I haven't used one. In fact, Japanese people don't seem to like them either; at a subway restroom, there were 5 Western-style toilets and 1 Japanese-style, and people were lining up for the Western-style ones.
