• We decided to spend this morning shopping as our hotel is near Akihabara which is known as Tokyo's Electric City because of all the electronic shops and arcades in the area.
  • We made our way to Yodobashi, a massive electronic store with nine floors, selling every kind of gadget imaginable. Though I really wanted to run off on my own and look for goodies, I was a little scared of getting lost because the store was so huge.
  • My favourite floor was the camera department which was filled with cameras, accessories and giant lenses. I was able to take a perfect photo of Tom from the opposite side of the building using one of the cameras.
  • I picked up a bunch of useful accessories such as lens caps with strings so they don't get lost and lens filters which turn photos soft focus, add crosses to lights and pull out a center focus. I also got a super tiny camera necklace which actually takes photos.
  • Tom treated himself to the cutest train magazine ever, some Shinkansen chopsticks and I got a copy of FRUiTS magazine.
  • When we were tired of shopping, we treated ourselves to lunch on the top floor where you can order your food through a vending machine.
  • Considering we didn't speak to anyone while placing our order, I wasn't expecting that much from the food but when our ramen and gyoza arrived, it looked amazing and tasted delicious.
