Today Kevin, Ethan 1, and I, along with one of my roommates from Hachioji, Alan, made the trip to the man-made island of Odaiba to see the full scale Gundam statue. Getting there involved 2 subways and a monorail, but thanks to Tokyo's amazingly user friendly metro system it was no problem at all. I thought the mobile suits in the Gundam series were a little bigger, but it was still really big and really cool (they were even playing music and sound effects from the series on loudspeakers in the area).
After wandering around Odaiba for a while and riding the huge ferris wheel there, Alan decided he needed to buy an external hard drive, so we ventured to the electronic (and geek) capitol of the world, Akihabara. We didn't stay there very long and just went into a couple electronics stores before getting what we needed and leaving. I'll be back, though...
