A trip on the Yamanote line took us from Shinigawa, where our hotel's located at, to Shinjuku where Jasser and I started walking about the district. Stopping at a Mister Donut, I had myself a pon of macha (very tasty) with some coffee; we then continued our excursion. A quick pass thru a local temple and soon headed toward the station.
We jumped onto the Choe line (local not express) and headed directly for Akihabara electric town. Tech, games, and manga everywhere. Got a chance to play Tekken 6, uber graphics and tons of characters to choose from. Jasser dueled with a local as I tried out the Guilty Gear XX Core (very, very nice). We moved on to explore more of the district before finally having a late lunch at KFC (that's about five countries worth of KFC down). Jumped back on the Yamanote line at Akihabara station and headed back to Shinigawa for a nap after our lunch.
