went to shibuya and kai took a picture with famous hachiko dog. hachiko was actually a real dog lived 1925-35. the story about this loyal dog is that after his master's death, he still waited for him to return from work at the shibuya train station, at the same time, every day for 10 years. now around this bronze statue is a famous meeting spot for people.

this is the crazy cross walk that goes every direction right in front of sibuya station.

next stop was asakusa. here is pretty much old part of tokyo and very traditional japanese atmosphere, a complete 180 from shibuya!

the smoke near the temple is known to bring good fortune, longevity, and health we all got covered by smoke intentionally. this was my first time visiting asakusa and i think it was really cool to see the area personally (i've always seen it on tv!). one of the side street had lots of traditional souvenirs and toys. one of the amazing and very interesting thing was to watch the actual masters do their work by hand (wood block prints and paper lantern writing). now i know why lots of tourists go there, i totally recommend seeing asakusa area. on the other hand, kai was being good as usual, hanging out in his stroller.

last stop of the day was akihabara which is known for electronic, computer, anime, and otaku goods, including new and used items. it's interesting to see what they have and how much they sell for. of course we did few shopping here (you know daniel with gadgets) :)
