rising sun diaries, day 3
its not until 1pm when i finally wake up in the hotel bed (which is pretty much all that this tiny room consists of). downtown to the impressive tokyo dome (where the roller coaster is sadly out of order, most probably due to the country-wide power shortage), then up the metropolitan government building viewing platform which is free of charge but there is a hidden 500 yen cover charge when you order a drink which pretty much doubles the price. sneaky prices seems to be a japanese speciality as many places also promote prices that exclude taxes. oh well, have to learn to be more careful.
finally time for electronics shopping bliss at akihabara and hours wasted having fun at the local arcade halls.
