Day 3: Time Outo!

Started off the day at Lotteria.   The burgers here always have an interesting taste, almost reminds me of breakfast sausage patties.  I like Lotteria to visit it just once.

 
Some random Engrish


With our bellies full we headed off to Ginza as Mika wanted to go shopping at the Hello Kitty store.   I also checked out the Sony building where they had some 3D Demos of some random nature programs and Wipeout running on the PS3.  I have to say I was pretty impressed, the glasses were very comfortable and the 3D effect was easily as good as the technology offered by Real3D and Dolby and obviously much better than Imax's outdated technology.  

Chi's Home?
 

 Decided to try the Banana milk drink.  What can I say?  It tastes exactly like banana's in milk.


From Ginza we headed off to the Kappa Shrine.  The neighborhood was full of Kappa's!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  
 
I have to say after seeing the mummified Kappa hand which I thought looked pretty fake on TV, I was pretty impressed in person.  I am more convinced than ever of their existence.
 

From there we headed waay outside Tokyo to a toyshop called Kakaido.  This was definitely a sight to behold.   Tons and tons of stuff inside, maybe not the best place for Henshin / Character type goods, but there was lots of Gokin and soo much G1 Transformers.   Very cool place and worth the trip out.


Ended the day with Mika's favorite curry rice place which was completely un-remarkable.  The curry was ok but the Katsu was pretty poor.   We ended the day in Shinkuku with Marui One, lots of cool stuff to see and most everything at Black Peace Now was 70% off so I got to see a lot of stuff I paid full price for at a fraction of the cost..  FUN!! 

Some random shots of food, Shinjuku, and today's haul are to follow.
