I'm in Heaven...

There is truly no other city on Earth like Tokyo. This place is so cool. first off there really aren't that many people in all of Japan, but the country is so small it seems that they're all compacted right here, when the sign for the crosswalk goes on its like a sea of humanity.

You should see their cell phones here, they make our look like children's toys, literally. Some of them have cameras that match or out do MY digital camera, if I can get on you'll see it, but I doubt it right now.

Then there is this other "mini" city within Tokyo, Akihabara: The Electric Town, also home to the largest Manga store in all of Tokyo. Inuyasha is up to volumes in the 40s and Bleach is to vol. 28! There are five floors to this store, all of it filled to the rafters of Manga. In other places there are models of all kinds, toys of every description, video games, DVDs, CDs, basically anything electronic that a person could want, and I mean anything.

That was yesterday, now for today.

Today we went to the outskirts of Tokyo, a little place called Kamakura. In the city/village was a shrine containing the third largest Buddha in all of Asia, the Daibutsu, or the giant Buddha of Kamakura. It was made entirely of Bronze and had to be 20+ meters tall.

But other than that we were too tired to anything more than go to the Sony building in the Ginza. This is the place where Sony shows off all its stuff that is about to release or had recently released. I even saw a PS3, I don’t think that it will stand up to the Wii or the Xbox 360, but what do I know?

We’ve crashed in out hotel, we’re dead tired.
