Akihabara, Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Roppongi

This morning we met up and went to Akihabara. We checked out some of the more interesting stores there. The first one that we went to was recommended by one of my friends, it was a place called “Super Potato”. It was a pretty cool retro video game store that had a lot of old school stuff and a whole chair made of old Famicom (NES) games. After that we headed to a place nearby called Mandrake, which is a manga/video game store that was pretty interesting.

From Akihabara we headed to Shibuya where we met up with one of my friends and checked out some music and game stores. It was still a little early but we ran out of cool stuff to do in Shibuya so we headed to Shinjuku. In Shinjuku we went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and hung out there till it was time to meet up with Aki. We met her near her work and went to Tsuchiya, a good Omuraisu place that I know on the west side. After a good dinner Aki went home and Steve, Yu-Chih, and I headed to Roppongi to check out the Tokyo City View in Roppongi Hills. When we got there we found out that the museum at the top closes earlier on Tuesdays so we decided that it was not worth the cost to enter. From Roppongi Hills we went to Tokyo Midtown and walked around there for a bit and then headed back to the room.
