Photo post

I can't be bothered to write loads so instead you get a photo post. :)

Some things I've bought:

A happy sweeper! There's a whole range of everyday stuff with smiley faces from the 100yen shop, super kawaii.
Tea in a bottle. Still not brave enough to try it yet.
Onigiri box, to stop your rice triangles from getting bashed
My Inkan, a seal or stamp you need for some banks instead of a signature. Mine says グラハムフィオナ which is Graham Fiona in katakana.
We went to an Okonomiyaki place on the top floor of an Electrics department store in Akihabara. You chose what type of meat and with or without ramen, then they heat up the hot plate in front of you and cook it. We were all starving when we ordered, it was torture seeing the food being cooked! In this photo is cabbage, potato, egg, ramen in one of them, and seafood or a type of meat mixed together. On top are fishy flakes that don't really taste but the heat made them all flicker and move. 

Here they are finished, with mayo and okonomiyaki sauce on it. It was like a strange twist on bubble and squeak, but very tasty.
The view from Takadanobaba station which is a 5 minute walk from our dorm. 
A street leading away from Shibuya crossing, looks like the channel 4 ident to me!
Lots more to come! Tomorrow we're going to the fish market and a tour to Ueno so I'll get snap happy then.
