We took a cab from Uneo Park to the electronics district, in the Akihabara neighborhood.  This is a place to find any kind of electronic item....cell phones, TV's, cameras, MP3 players, computers, stereo equipment, etc, and any accessories to go with them. It is known as a place to get next years electronics today...supposedly staying on the cutting edge of technology, new products are introduced here before being marketed to the rest of the world.  None of us really wanted or needed anything along those lines, so we just poked around looking at stuff.  Think of Circuit City, covering several blocks!

We couldn't find the subway station near there, so we grabbed another cab and headed back to the hotel.  Time to change and get ready for dinner!

Yeah, they said it was near there, but we didn't see it...the guys figured splitting a cab 4 ways was as cheap and less hassle than figuring out subway stops again
