Day 3 - Tokyo - Pokémon Mega Center and Sunshine City

 First stop of the day is to grab a quick breakfast at Marugame Seimen Dougenzaka (丸亀製麺渋谷道玄坂) (Eat 53).  It's just fast food.  Nonetheless, it was good.  Nice to have warm breakfast.

Already a long line up for udon in the morning.

Yummy deep fried goodness with warm soup udon.

So affordable too.

Then it was time to head to Sunshine City (Buy 27) where the Pokemon Mega Center (Buy 28) is located.  Another geeky place, I'd have to say.  But I do like playing Pokemon Go.

There is a ridiculously long line up to go into the Pokemon Mega Center.  A queue of 2-3 hours.  Totally WTF in my point of view.  Nonetheless, we still queued up as my other half insisted it is a "must go to" place.  And this as my last straw.  Had him swear that we won't do anything that require lining up after this.  Personally, I'd be fine not going in.  It's cool, but is it worth 3 hours of lining up?  You judge for yourself.

There were so Many ppl playing the Pokemon Go game in this location that I can't even load the screen.

Finally got in.

Not only do you need to line up for a long time to go inside, you need to line up for another line queue to pay. 

No matter how cute Pikachu is, the long waiting line was not worth it, in my POV.

Other than a Pokemon store, there is also a One Piece store.

And a Crayon Shinchan store.

Got a supermarket in the mall to cure our thirst and hunger after the long wait in line to the Pokemon Mega Center.

Many other affordable shops too.

Was hungry and went for some sashimi rice bowl and udon.  Don't remember the name of the place, but it's a chain store.  To my surprise, it was disgusting.  Couldn't finish my food.  Couldn't persuade myself to swallow the disgusting fish.  I thought all sashimi in Japan would be good.....I guess not.  Most of the chain store sashimi/sushi are bad.
