    I spot a fish!

    We spent the morning today heading back to the main Tokyo station to purchase three day unlimited metro passes. While on the tourist information centre they have a robot to assist you called Pepper who interacted with you through speech. He didn't do much until he started dancing! We also spent time there painting traditional symbols and learning origami, mine was far more successful than Nick's! We also went and booked an overnight coach to Kyoto for next week which was half the price of the train and means we can save a night on accommodation too so that's a huge bonus. After we spent a good while sorting things out we headed to a shopping complex that has a planetarium and aquarium on the 9th floor roof. We went to see what Nick thought was a show on planets at the planetarium but turned out to be minimal information on planets and more songs sung by a Japanese girl band so that was disappointing! We headed to the aquarium after which had a little bit more to it and is probably one of the better aquariums I've been too. After a look around and a visit to the pokemon storw, we headed back to our trusty supermarket food court for some so cheap food in the evening and to relax back at the hotel.Read more
