Electronic and general gadgetry mecca of the world, it was never gonna be long before I ended up in Akihabara :P Though I didn't have time to see all of it in one day - I had to leave some of more balls out weird areas like the theme cafes for another time, and I wanna see the place lit up at night as well at some point - I did get a good explore of the place done in the 2/3 of a day or so I was there. So without further ado, Akihabara!...
Between the ridiculous heat (the air was so hot and thick it was like walking around a massive steam room) and the crowds, by mid afternoon it was time to take a much needed break from the buzz and head for nearby Ueno for a chill out.
Ueno is an area of Tokyo most famous for it's zoo (one of very few in the world to have Great Pandas) but it's also home to a huge park (Kouen) with shrines, lakes, woods etc. I arrived at about 3/4ish, ideal for the heat but not enough time for the zoo, or to travel between some of the bigger temples and shrines. That said though, it was a brilliant slower pace antidote to the frenzy earlier in the day; taking a rowboat out on the lakes as the sun started to go down was especially peaceful.
That's all for now!
Oh... except for in response to the many queries lol, yes, the beer tap is free

I use movavi at the mo to edit the videos, its a pretty low end editor in honesty but its one of the very few that runs without much of a hitch on a netbook :P
