Day 3: Ame

The weather was terrible. It was pouring the whole day. Unfortunately, due to the rain, I wasn't able to take any photographs (SLR not waterproof orz).

We first went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Offices in Shinjuku to have a view of the entire Tokyo, this was one of the highlights of the morning, since it's not raining indoors. The view was partly obscured by the poor weather, but it was still possible to see most of Tokyo. The best word to describe Tokyo is flat. Really flat, it's completely different to Hong Kong where everywhere is surrounded by mountains.

We then decided to go to Shibuya via Harajuku. It was a miserable idea. The rain started pouring harder and harder, my entire bag was soaked, there was nothing that looks remotely lively, other than the dog outside Shibuya station as there was a covered area.

We then returned to Ikebukuro, that is when we struck gold. We've found an anime shop and a 2nd hand shop for anime goods. Some of the stuff I found on sale: Aquaplus Vocal collection 8, From New World and etc. I've decided to buy stuf from the second hand store though, I've bought "Pure Aquaplus SACD and Leaf Arrange soundtrack". They add up to around $HKD200.

The albums bought

What I've learned: Make sure to have a backup to not have a miserable time when the weather turns. I will blog more tomorrow! We're going to Osaka! Getting the JR pass is fun.
