Asakusa and Akihabara - a world apart

We decided to bookend today with two extremes.

We started the day in Akihabara which is Tokyo's "Electronic Town". Maddi decided that we need a keisan-ki (calculator) to better aid in working out those exchange rates. We also managed to buy a contactu rens kess. We are well on our way to learning Japanese but that may be because of the liberal use of English based words.

Second half of the day included a trip to Asakusa which is an older area of Tokyo with a very large temple and lots of markets and food stalls. It felt like half of Tokyo was there but maybe I'm just used to Melbourne crowds!
