well, as much as i would love to roam Akiba all day long!, there is a ton of walking, cute japanese girls everywhere, more walking, and more cute japanese girls! oh did i just say there was cute japanese girls.

well, i hope by then i can re-map, plan again what areas i want to go to, and visit in Japan, and practicing even more Japanese, and learn to read some of the characters. I am sure as the summer '08 approaches we can estimate what is up.

plus in the summer, sweaty, sticky humid air....while going in and out of stores with A/C, trainstations, etc...

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has produced a new English language subway guide.

"Illustrated with photographs, the brochure provides guidance to visitors on how to use the subway system in Tokyo, from directions on how to locate subway entrances and exits, to explanations on how to use the ticket-vending and fare adjustment machines. The brochure also provides information on economy passes and a numbered subway-route map."

Tokyo Metro also has an English guide but this one by Toei is the newest. It might be useful to have around if any visitors turn up. You can pick up a copy at Tokyo Tourist Information Centers and Desks as well as Toei subway stations except Oshiage, Meguro, Shirokane-dai, Shirokane-takanawa and, bizarrely, Shinjuku Line Shinjuku Station.
