Decided to grab the train to Tokyo (45 minutes and 350 yen), for an extra day of Tokyo sightseeing – namely the stuff I missed the first time I was in Tokyo when I was really panicked. First off, went on the NHK studio tour. I have to say that I was not very impressed by this. It is conducted exactly like a tour in an amusement park (which I suppose I should\u2019ve expected). In essence, you are toured through a “mock” TV studio, with “actors”, who are “pretending” to be television personnel, doing something for real. Anything that\u2019s really real is behind 2 feet of soundproof glass. I didn\u2019t think very much of this tour, as you can probably gather. The 3-D TV was pretty nice, and the HDTV stuff looked great, but I don\u2019t know if I\u2019d recommend this tour to anyone else. I wanted something with a little more content in it, but perhaps that\u2019s just because I\u2019m in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the tour, I went to Shakey\u2019s for lunch. I haven\u2019t eaten Shakey\u2019s pizza since I was around 12 years old, living in PG. The pizza was quite interesting – thin, with scanty toppings, but offered some interesting combinations (such as corn, tuna, etc.) Lots of pasta as well. For 600 yen, this all-you-can-eat combo was the best deal I found! After lunch I headed for Shibuya, then looked around all afternoon in Akihabara (planning my battle strategy for the next day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear and Present Danger was on TV (in Japanese), but I was so tired from roaming around the city all day, that I decided to skip it, and went to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
