Ramen, Akihabara and more food!

One of our must do's in Japan is to eat ramen. Pastor Talo took us to a place that's his favorite. And if you see Pastor Talo - you believe him. He's a huge samoan married to a Japanese national. He could pass for a sumo wrestler. 

The ramen was ono (delicious). It was cool to have to go to the vending machine and buy the ticket for your ramen selection.  Pretty efficient huh?

We then traveled to the "electronics district" in Akihabara. It was overwhelming to say the least. It was computers, cell phones, gadgets galore. We saw the coolest mini computers that was only about 6" wide for $99 US dollars but the catch was you have to buy 2 years of internet service. Guy was so tempted to find a mini-computer that would be US compatible.

Then we ended our evening at the local mall in Urawa where we ate (again) at a healthy, all natural, locally grown restaurant. It was a great buffet with many of the dishes we enjoy. Are you getting full yet?
