We started this day at 11ish in the morning. We were both hungry so we made our way to a cafe/restaurant near the hotel called Jonathan’s. Another American-Japanese influenced diner. 

I ordered a French Onion soup and a burger steak covered in tomato soup. I enjoyed my food and Miss Pinky just looked at me in horror… What? It’s food. Chinese people eat anything, right? She tried to annoy me but saying bad things about my food, but I didn’t care. *ROLL EYES*.

Miss Pinky ordered a hamburger steak covered in a soy sauce based sauce (I think it was teriyaki sauce) but she thought it was too sweet. I thought it was ok and not sweet at all. She must eat a lot of salty foods! 

Total came to 2526 yen (£15.89). Not bad!! Not sure why people think Japan is expensive, it isn’t really…

My geeky rating: 4/5

From this point onwards I don’t think Miss Pinky was not having the best of luck as it kind of got worse for her (not that bad really but kind of not a happy feeling moment)… We returned back to the hotel to get extra clothing as it was cold that morning. Then we made our way to Akihabara via the Hibiya line. It’s only a few stops from Kayabacho.

When we got off we kind of went the wrong way so we asked a shop assistant the way (in Japanese). We got there in the end but couldn’t see the manga and anime stuff that people talked about. We walked around a bit and spotted a cosplay building… We did go in but it felt like we were going into a creepy sex shop. Ugh. We saw pervy men (even pervy business men) and couples. I felt nauseous seeing some of the toys and videos. Eeeeeek!! I do not recommend unless you like seeing this stuff. (No wonder the guys at the Japanese bar from the night before were laughing at us when we said we were going to Akihabara… I only wanted to see the manga stuff!!!!!!).

Next we moved onto the anime and manga scene plus electronic stores. It felt like I was back in Hong Kong… This is the part I liked about Akihabara… We went looking for souvenirs, gifts and all sorts… 

Then Miss Pinky grabbed a leaflet. A Maidreamin leaflet. We stopped to look at the leaflet and then somehow we were dragged to the store by the person who handed out the leaflet. I wanted to have a look anyway so we made our way up to Maiden Dreamin cafe. It was kind of creepy and the place was a cafe with girls dressed up in maid suits. There were some pervy looking guys there already and I thought woah! Anyway we ordered our food and I took a picture with the girls. Miss Pinky was not impressed so she declined having her picture taken. (I bet Mr Picky was upset).

Next it was shopping time again. We ended up buying some souvenirs for friends and family… That took a while! 

We finally ended up heading towards Shibuya by taking he JR line where I wanted to see the Shibuya Crossing. It was amazing! I crossed over it 3 times that day! Miss Pinky was in shock as she hates crowds. Oh dear, she never said that to me before!!

We walked around after this, we ended up in another “British” pub run by Japanese and I had a disgusting hot buttered rum. Yuck!!!!

We walked more after this and Miss Pinky had spotted a 100 yen store! I bought lots of chocolates from here. Heheh.

We looked around this department store but decided to go and do a bit more shopping before returning back to the hotel. 

Miss Pinky made our way back hungry and tired. So we had dinner at Prontos which is sort of an “Italian” restaurant. We ordered our food but Miss Pinky’s main dish didn’t seem to have been ordered, although the waitress asked several times about what Miss Pinky wanted… She was disappointed and so we left the restaurant still hungry!

I had a pot noodle and lemon tea from Lawaon and Miss Pinky decided to walk a hit further and get a meal at Nakau (but they forgot to give her a spoon)… Miss Pinky’s day was bad. 😦  She told me later in the second week that she walked a few blocks to let off steam before returning to the room. 

Cup noodles and Lemon tea
