After a million miles flight from Chicago to Tokyou, I finally landed on Tokyo narita internatinal airport on May 15th. First of all, I had the change to meet rest of group member in airport and introduced myself with them. Then we took the railway and the subway to our hotel, Hotel Asia Center of Japan, which was located in downtown of Tokyo. After checking in at 10:00 pm, everybody went to their rooms because we were so tired after flight.
May 16th was actually our first day to start off our trip in Tokyo. I still have not yet recover and adjust from jet lag thus, this forces me to wake up 2 hours before the time I set my alarm clock. In the morining, we went to Asakusa, which is on the north-east fringe of Central Tokyo. Asakusa is a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva kannon, which has long history. Pilgrims and tourists were flocking to the shops that were opened on the streets in front of temple. There is countless small stuff shops on the street of Asukasa. They sell many traditional stuff and gifts, such as cell phone chains, kimonos, and crafts. So many foreigner bought the traditional Japanese handcraft there. These handcrafts are worth and affordable because they relfect Japanese culture, but in somewhat low price. There are crowds of people in the street but surprisingly walking orderly. Most of them walk on left side of street, which was oppoiste to American style.
After Asakusa, we went to akihabara by taking the subway, also known as Akihabara Electric Town. Akihabara Akihabara is a major shopping area for electronic, computer, anime, and otaku goods, including new and used items. We saw a lot of famous electronic brand there, such as Sony, Nikon as well as Panasonic etc. Even I had my eyes on this really new Sharp cell phone that can not be find in China. We also saw a lot of products of Japanese's animation. Which brought me in totally excitement because I was a fan of Japanese animation when I was a little kid.
