Asakusa and More
Here are some more photos from my whirlwind visit to Tokyo:
Tokyo is an expensive city, but hotel rooms can be found for $75 or so if you don't need a lot of space. I opted for the Japanese-style room, and I'm glad I tried it, but I think I will forgo the cultural experience next time in favor of having a chair to sit in.
I leave for Jakarta later today.

| Pagoda in Asakusa. Check out the multi-element coil antenna. That's some serious high-gain. |

| The fanboys queue up in Akihabara waiting for the shops to open and sell them the new... what? Perhaps the long-awaited release of Melty Blood: Act Cadenza? |

| This is my hotel room. The whole room. |
