Tokyo 2015 - Day 1

Tokyo - Day 1
2015.07.31 @ Akihabara & Shinjuku

Over my summer vacation, I took a little solo trip to Tokyo. I'd been there in the past, but it was only for about a day and a half. I figured it was worth a proper trip. I planned out all kinds of nerdy/strange things to do. Other than the fact that it was blazing hot the entire time I was there, it was a pretty amazing trip. I took a ton of pictures, so this will be another trip that is divided up into a few posts.

Shinjuku - Robot Restaurant

The Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku was incredible. It's absolute madness. Nothing made sense at all, but there were robots, drumlines and dinosaurs, and it is all performed cabaret-style. AMAZING!
