My first day in Tokyo Mina's friend went off to work and so we went off exploring, we got the metro to a huge park full of museums, with possibly the biggest and busiest starbucks I had ever seen and went to see the Tokyo Museum, it had some nice art and some lovely statues, we didn't spend too long there as it got a bit overwhelming after a while and so we walked back through the park and went to the really famous intersection, featured in every film of Tokyo (including Tokyo drift) and went to the overlooking starbucks for the best view of the crossing and the sea of people flowing over it at every rotation of the pedestrian crossing, very orderly and patient after living in China for so long!
We then went to the huge electronics markets in Tokyo Shibuya ward, a huge multi street temple to electronics of all sorts and shapes and sizes, it was amazing, I wandered around happily for a couple of hours and could have stayed a lot longer, there were so many things I wanted to buy however I held off, but I know I will be back before I leave! Among other things I noticed a Macbook air for a VERY reasonable price, £200 cheaper than the Chinese price!
We then wandered around a nearby district of bars and hotels before heading back to Yonehs house, Tokyo is huge and really busy and fun, I like this place!
