DAY 2
Breakfast was fun this morning... I'll admit, when I arrived last night I just went to the local supermarket and got some cheese, biscuits and fruit. Just to last me till I got to bed. This morning, I thought Ifd head out and get a proper Japanese breakfast. When I actually got to the local noodle bar, I suddenly realised what a silly idea it was...
For a start I donft have a clue what the Japanese have for breakfast and even if I did know I wouldnft know how to ask for it! I ended up with sliced chicken and a king prawn in batter with rice. Itfs probably like having fish and chips for breakfast but it was just what I was after!!
Im staying in a place called Minami-senju. Itfs in the suburbs of Tokyo and is reasonably quiet. The station is a 10 minute walk, unless you take the route I did this morning, in which case itfs a 20 minute walk and you end up at the next station...
I thought Ifd head out to Akihabera today, which is known in English as eElectric Town.f Itfs a region that puts Tottenham Court Road to shame. There are huge great department stores dedicated solely to electronic goods. Therefs a Segaworld which has all the latest and just about every other Sega arcade game ever made (I played the new eHouse of the dead 3f -you get shotguns, WOO-HOO!).
Theres an electronics market which literally sells everything which has a current going through it. There are whole shops dedicated to selling every different cable, resistor, spy-camera, radio, microphone, mobile phone, switch, lightbulb, you name it, they have it.
