We decided to spend this morning shopping as our hotel is near Akihabara which is known as Tokyo's Electric City because of all the electronic shops and arcades in the area.


We made our way to Yodobashi, a massive electronic store with nine floors, selling every kind of gadget imaginable. Though I really wanted to run off on my own and look for goodies, I was a little scared of getting lost because the store was so huge.

My favourite floor was the camera department which was filled with cameras, accessories and giant lenses. I was able to take a perfect photo of Tom from the opposite side of the building using one of the cameras.


I picked up a bunch of useful accessories such as lens caps with strings so they don't get lost and lens filters which turn photos soft focus, add crosses to lights and pull out a center focus. I also got a super tiny camera necklace which actually takes photos.

Tom treated himself to the cutest train magazine ever, some Shinkansen chopsticks and I got a copy of FRUiTS magazine.


When we were tired of shopping, we treated ourselves to lunch on the top floor where you can order your food through a vending machine.


Considering we didn't speak to anyone while placing our order, I wasn't expecting that much from the food but when our ramen and gyoza arrived, it looked amazing and tasted delicious.
