I woke up early on Thursday and at about 9am, took the subway to Akihabara to see the technology scene. Akihabara is full of electronics malls where you can literally shop on 7 floors full of everything from TVs to mobile phones to PC Peripherals. I went inside one, Yodobashi Akiba (pic) and surprisingly only spent a couple of hours there. I know you're all shocked. The top floor had several restaurants, including an Indian place, but I ate at the rotating sushi bar (pic) instead. I had bluefin tuna, maised tuna, tempura, something else and Salmon Roe. All in all, alot of sushi for under ten dollars (1000 yen).
After Yodobashi I decided to take a stroll... I walked down streets at random, basically following the shiny lights and street vendors. I ended up in Ueno Park about 2 hours and 3 km later. I walked around the park (pics) and then a lake inside the park, Shinobazu-ike, which was another 3 or 4 km. By 5pm I was exhausted and took the subway back to the hostel.
I spent the rest of the day reading and hanging out in the lounge and went to bed early, too tired to go to Shibuya crossing or the bar.
