In Tokyo!

Arrived in Toyko yesterday evening and have been having an incredible time!　Å completely fascinating city, really friendly people and unbelievably clean. We spent today around Asakusa (the district we are staying in) which is busy enough but still has a lot of old world charm. We are right near to the Senso-ji temple, one of the busiest in Tokyo, and it was really interesting watching all the traditions taking place. So much shopping as well, enough to drive a girl like me crazy! Karl and I went through to the electronics district this afternoon and got him a very cool camera. Otherwise, we both having an amazing time, trying to pick up the cultural do`s and dont`s as we go along and having tons of fun along the way. I will try and say more with some photos, as everything here is in Japanese and Im not really sure what Im doing!
