Lesson for the day: check when stuff is open before taking the train all the way across the city. Turns out the stuff that I wanted to see yesterday- the Tokyo history museum and the museum of natural history are both closed on Mondays. Ooops. We had fun looking around through Ameyoka Market and then headed to Akhibara, the anime and manga center of Tokyo. We even stopped into a Maid Cafe for a snack (young women dressed as maids call you "mistress and master and sing when they bring your food!).
In the evening we met a friend of a friend, Minh, out for dinner and drinks. He took us to a yakiniku restaurant and we had a great time talking and eating. Walking back towards our hotel with him was an eye-opener: Tokyo is a different city at night. We're going to try adjusting our schedule so that we're up and around later in the day to see more of it like that.
Well, I'm off to find a laundrymat and then to try those museums again, and maybe the Sony showroom.
