Akihabara and Asakusa and Odiaba ( A small part of Tokyo)

 These vending machines are everywhere and filled with so many things to choose from.

The following photos were taken in Akihabara (Electric city/ Anime town)
This place sells any electrical item you want, plus there are maid cafes (anime) and many manga comic book shops.


The buildings around this area are covered in billboards about games and anime :P

  
This is Asakusa main Temple Sensoji it is one of the main/oldest shrines in Tokyo.
This is probably the first place we have seen any other Westerns all day which wasn't alot (since it is a tourist stop)
 This is Rainbow Bridge at night it is lit up but at the moment it is blacked out. It was hard to take a great picture due to the weather which is overcast but very humid and hot.

Behind the Bridge is Tokyo skyline, we crossed this bridge by mono-rail to get to Odiaba island.

 These very cute things are massive they are about the size of your little finger and are every where near the water :P

We would have had a picture of a big snake but mum nearly trod on it so it slithered away :) (thank goodness it went away and didn't bite her)
