Day 2 - Yokohama & Akihabara

Woke at 9 this morning. Showered and got ready in an hour. Checked the weather - low of 5 degrees and high of 9 degrees. But I must have totally forgotten how cold 5 was.

Hei and I took a train to Tokyo and changed to a JR to Yokohama. From Yokohama, we changed to another train to Shin Yokohama to visit the Ramen Museum.

Food No. 5: Macdonalds (Big Mac and Teriyaki Burger Value Set) Price: 1080 yen

Those who know me knows that I like to try Mackers at every country I visit. Hei found the Big Mac to be the same but the Teriyaki burger was yums. Sitted beside us was a Cauasian dude who spoke Japanese...Impress!!!

Food No. 6: Ramen @ Ramen Museum. Price: 2450 yen.

Salty! Ramen Museum was a disappointment. Nothing to see or do. Everything was in Japanese and I had to pay to eat Ramen after paying 300yen for admission!!!! At the entrace, I saw that they sold 3 months pass and 1 year pass. Then I realise why, its actually like a collection of restaurants that serves ramen from all over Japan. Hokkaido, Tokyo etc. So you need to pay like a cover charge to eat! My soup was salty and the noodle nothing fantastic.

Hei was irritating though, after I pointed out Japanese was the land of slurping. The louder the better, he SLURPED EVERYTHING!

Food No. 7: Vicks Medicated Drops (Lemon Flavour) Price: 218 yen

Ahhhh, sooth my throat.

Food No. 8: Corn Soup, Sausage and Chips, Coffee and Tea.

We went to the Pier at Yokohama after that. It was bone chilling cold but we trudge to see this statue "The girl who always have red shoes on". Its a LIE!!! We walked for 15 mins only see a bronze statue of a little girl sitting down and no red shoes. =P

Then, we droped by a little diner/cafe called Jonathan for coffee. The soup was not hot and the tea was too mild.

Food No. 9: Curry Rice + Soba Set, Katsudon. Price: 780 yen

BEST MEAL SO FAR!!!! At a little corner shop in Akihabara where we order through a vending machine, so no hand gesturing. I had just plain hot soba and curry (gravy only) with rice and it was amazing. Tasty, hot, cheap! I walked out with a huge SMILE on my face.

We went to a 6 stories sex shop in Akihabara. Rubber vaginas, dildos of all shape size and voltage, nipple clips, lingere, porn, what kinky fantasy you want they've got it. I made sure there was another women there before I enter. It was both fascinating and disturbing.

There was a automated apparatus that helps a man masturbate. How lazy can humans get!?!?!

Food No. 10: Bread

Hei was still feeling peckish after dinner so we bought some bread from a japanese-french confectionery. Taste different but yums.....at least the one I had.

Food No. 11: Donut (Sugar, Chocolate) + Churos

As we were walking back to the inn, we went by Mister Donut. Just wanting to take a peek at what they sold (Donuts duh?!) we ended up with more food.....


"Super Nihon" rating for the day: 6/10 - Dinner was too awesome...
