Ginza in review

Last night, with a group of 10 loud, obnoxious Americans, took the Tokyo Metro to Ginza.

Ginza is what we think of when we think of Tokyo: bright lights, name brands, names lit up in neon.

And it is also very much not what we think of when we think of Tokyo: it was not at all crowded. It wasn't loud. The signs weren't all that big and overbearing.

It is definitely a tourist area...Tim saw two Asian women on the street, asked them to take a photo with me, they tried to decline saying they weren't Japanese. I responded 'Neither are we' (clearly, this is Kip at his wittiest), and they agreed.

There's an Apple store. I need to know what's different in the Tokyo Apple store. Possibilities: Nano cases and the new Shuffle.
