I was planning to wake up early to hit some shrines, but I woke up late. I had time for only one shrine. I tried the one Ellie recommended near her work, but for some reason I can't find on the map, although the subway station is displayed. So I went to Sensoji temple on Asakusa, the last stop of Ginza line. It's a long ride...
Once I get there I get a Tokyo's finest patrolling the area. I asked where it was, and he replied in good English where it was.
I pull out my trusty camera, and it miserably fail to power on. After a couple of attempts, it shows a blurred image on LCD. Sigh, great, I come all the way here and the camera fails. The first day I met up with Misako, she was excited about a new Sony camera she bought, those slim ones. I gave a though about going back and buying a similar one, because she bought it cheap, but, my time in Tokyo is limited, so I just bought a decent Canon slim type camera. Of course the price was not worth it, since it was one of the gift shop on the temple street where they rip tourist. but wasn't very expensive, though I wish I could have bought the Sony one Misako bought.
Had a very authentic ramen at one of those back alley ramen shop near Sensoji!
