Tokyo, Japan Pt.1

Our final stop in Japan was Tokyo. Another great Japanese city, similar to Osaka but just on a much bigger scale. Everything you can think of is in the city, felt like we barely scratched the surface in the three days we were there.

We visited Teamlab Planet (digital art exhibition), went up Tokyo Tower, went to the Shibuya crossing and walked around Shibuya, went to the bright lights of Shinjuku for a night out, explored Akihabra (famous for gaming and anime), had some amazing food, visited a hedgehog cafe, explored Asakusa and did a lot of shopping around. After the ebay camera esciapades (ask Danny), I finally got a refund and bought myself a camera in a used store in Japan for £200 less! It is rated as 'good condition' but is completely immaculate so was a great deal. Japanese standards are so high. Also got myself 2 lenses (none of these photos have been taken on new camera). Jodie got some new clothes and some gifts for upcoming birthdays.

Jodie and I have parted again, she is going back to UK for a hen do and I am going to travel around Laos for a couple of weeks. My flight to Edinburugh is booked now, will get into edin airport on morning of the 21st. As I was leaving Tokyo, there was an earthquake alert on my phone at about 6am. Everyone on the bus had the same alert but no one seemed too bothered and I didn't feel anything. Jodie felt some small tremors and aftershocks back at the hotel.

Have chosen a few photos from our time in Tokyo. Will do 10 in this post and then another 10 in next post

I am in Laos now, such a contrast from the organisation and cleanliness of Japan..
