Today I saw Asimo the robot! He/She/It was really cool. I watched a little show at 12:30, and then the main demonstration at 2pm. It did loads of stuff, the most exciting of which was running and kicking a ball. All of its little hand gestures probably would have seemed much more impressive if I could understand what it was saying, but it was still very cool.
The rest of the museum was very interesting as well, there were so many different exhibits, I won't go into them here. I bought 2 Asimo rulers and an Asimo mousepad from the shop, and it didn't even cost £5 altogether. So cheap! :)
Anyway I rushed off to return the Japanese phone I had borrowed at my friend's office, but I hadn't planned on going today, so I had to go into this huge posh building with lots of suits walking around wearing denim shorts, a fluorescent yellow top and a bright blue rucksack. I felt like I fit right in.
I did, however, get some unexpectedly great views of the bridge on the train over there, and I even got a decent photo from the train :)
After that mildly embarrassing experience I went to Asakusa to do some souvenir shopping. I managed to find some wooden slippers for my kimono and I got some other goodies, but I got there quite late and shops started closing, so I'll go back again tomorrow morning. Then I might go to Shibuya for a bit....I'm not sure yet.
I found a restaurant and ordered Tuna sushi. There were 7 pieces, the 3 in the middle aren't very fatty (fatty in tuna is good), the 2 at the bottom are medium fatty and the 2 at the top are extra fatty. It was seriously good.
Anyway, I'm going to go and have a shower and prepare for my last full day in Tokyo tomorrow!!!
