Akihabara and Ikebukuro

 Today we made plans to meet an old high school friend who lives and works here in Tokyo. We had problems falling asleep last night, just tossing and turning on a bed hard as a plank (it felt like there was an entire mattress missing?!?) so we got out at around noon and bought breakfast at a combini. After that off to Akihabara and prowl around. Not what I expected exactly, and Mandarake was a disappointment. I wanted to buy Naruto merch and there was absolutely nothing there, and barely any at all in all of Akihabara -.-

After that we went off to Ikebukuro and met up with our friend and took the train back to her home in the suburbs. Out there, and it's wasn't very far out, it was really cosy, with small but functional houses. And I love the blue roofs that some of the houses have, it's such a pretty colour, and it glitters in the sun :D

Her husband cooked dinner and then we just hung out and got caught up, and then we went back to the hotel, but with more plans to meet next week.
