Breakfast at a fast food place called 松屋. It's famous for its beef rice bowls. That morning, we had a salmon and beef rice set for breakfast! :D
This is the whole set!! Quite hearty for a breakfast. :D It has rice, soup, beef and salmon! :D
Then, we set out for 雷門寺, a landmark of 淺草.
It's busy even on a Monday!! Not only can you worship the gods there, you can also shop!! I pretty much finished all my soveigners there. :D
Then come dinner at at 4:30pm (I called it "lunner", coz it's too late to call it lunch but too early to call it dinner). We had a grilled eel dinner! :) Unagi is one of our favorite dishes. :D This store, according to our rickshall guide, is at least 70 years old!!
Not only was their unagi delicious, their miso soup was worth mentioning also. It's not just regular running tofu on salt soup! It has mushrooms in it and it's so fragrantly.
The breakfast we had were so big that we end up just munching these lovely perfectly shaped strawberries along the shopping strips. :D It was soo sooo good! :D
After visiting the Shrine and finished all the shopping, I had the evil idea to give someone backpains. :D We have decided to ride the rickshaws. :D The rickshaw puller asked us whether we need 2 cars or 1.....
Mike and I tucked into just 1 car perfectly. But I feel bad for this little guy pulling us for 1/2 hour, so I paid him $1000 yen for tip and he gracefully accepted it. :D hehe The whole 1/2 hour ride cost us a handsome $9000 yen!!! :D More expensive then the gondola ride in Vegas! :D
But you get to have a nice guided tour about the surrounding of 淺草. Here you see the rickshaw puller had lead us into a narrow alley, which is the bar district of the town.

Our final shop of the day, 秋葉原. Lots of trendy young folks there. :D Also lots of shops that sell anime related things! :D
We were quite tired at this point and Mike was suffering from a combination of jetlag, indigestion and 水土不服, so we head home quite early.
It took like an hour and lots of walking to find the right station and the right exits before we can go home! Tokyo's subway is a crazy maze!!!! If you don't pay attention and exit the wrong one, you better prepare more warts on your soles. :D
