Day 3

Yesterday I started my day by getting some hot chocolate at Shibuya’s famous Starbucks. Quite expensive, yep, but I managed to get a seat at the window to observe the crossing. I don’t know about you but I could sit there all day long and watch people, lots of people cross there. I got a very calm feeling, beside my burning tounge (hot chocolate is hot) everything felt great. 

Take a look, it was rather calm that morning at around 9 am. 

The building where Starbucks is in is a huge store for entertainment, I’ve spent about an hour in there going through all the JPop, Animes and other Soundtracks until I realized that those are only for rental. I ended up buying a Toradora and a Haruhi soundtrack which were about 1200 Yen each.

Sorry about the flipped pictures, I don’t know why WordPress flips them around. When I watch them on my harddisk they’re normal flipped.

Late afternoon we went to Ginza which is compareable to 5th Avenue in NYC. And that’s in fact the very first feeling I had once I arrived there. Everything was super clean and everything looked super expensive.

We’ve spotted a pachinko place and went in to check some of the pros, I don’t know how they manage to be in the building for longer than 5 minutes because it’s louder than in a disco. Some have tons of little balls behind them so they’re probably in there all night long.

Since we couldn’t afford much in Ginza and the sun already set we decided to check out the Tokyo Tower which was close by. It’s the Japanese Eiffel tower, in fact it’s ever bigger than the original one but not quite as impressive in my opinion.

Up there I managed to get some girls taking a picture of me, infact they offered it after I took two pictures for them they were kinda cute tihihi. There are alot of good looking girls in Tokyo, I’ll miss that view alot.

Full train is full

Tomorrow will be Akihabara time, you know what that means! Maiden cafés!
