Day 1 in Tokyo
We walked all day in the Roppongi, Shibuya, Harajuku and nearby areas. But first, Stuart and Joel had a great time at the Blue Note last night. The music was exciting, more edgy than the CD's. They were sitting only metres from the musicians. ...
Day of trains
We took 12 trains. More or less I was pretty tired. Went out to see a Buddha you can see from the sky and a Temple in a garden by the beach. Ate JellyFish tentacles (super chewy). And that's pretty much it. We leave for Kyoto tomorrow morning. Ps, ...

What's up the steps
We walked around in circles looking for a 100 yen shop... I was disappointed when we finally found it, hope others are better. (I did find another in Kyoto but was again disappointed) At the top end of our street was a huge set of steps... About 100. I ...
Asakusa - Akihabara

Akasaka to Aust Embassy via Roppongi
