At first, I kept referring to a menu one of the chefs gave us (in english, of course), but eventually, I just tried a bunch of stuff. Except for the shrimp sushi - wasn't in the mood. I also regret getting the chicken sushi, since that doesn't really even count at all. Tasty though :) Thankfully, my trusty cellphone calculator stopped me from overspending. I can see how one can easily spend a large sum of money on cheap plates of sushi. Quite an experience, and a surprisingly filling meal that left me in a cheerful mood afterwards.
Then, I went to buy a replacement 50mm lens, which cost me wayyyyy too much money. For almost any guy, I would consider Akihabara/Electric Town the most dangerous part of Tokyo. Every electronic vice imaginable is there. After spending money on my Nikon lens, I was lured into the headphones department of a Sofmap electronics store. Think of Sofmap like a Bestbuy after years and years of methamphetamine usage without the whole losing teeth and scars and potential death thingy...Eventually, you just end up with a store similar to a crazy person with a wild imagination.
The surprisingly clean store has the most eclectic and unique electronics you can't find anywhere else in the world but in Tokyo. It's 7 floors jam packed full of phones, headphones, mp3 players, cameras, camera lenses, TVs, computers, computer paper, Anime, and the sweetest accessories to any of your electronics imaginable. Seizures may occur. Anyways, half of a floor is dedicated to headphones you can try on and plug your iPod into. I caved. A great pair of in-ear Audio Technica headphones beckoned and I responded. Consumerism strikes again.
