Even though I've lived in Tokyo now for 6 months, there are still so many places I haven't seen.
One of these "new" places was Odaiba.
Odaiba is a man made island in the Tokyo Bay area. You can either go there by monorail train or by an sea bus - ferry.
We decided to try the ferry option, which was to be fair - totally awesome in the sun! To sail under the Rainbow Bridge, see the Japanese Statue of Liberty and all the space-like architecture was truly amazing.

When we came to Odaiba, we had mouth watering good food at Hawaiian place
Kua Aina.

Then we decided to go for some science action at the Miraikan (or the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation - who decided that name!?).
It was pretty awesome. We saw the robot Asamo, petted the robot seal, did some weird experiments and saw a 3D show.

| The world and a futuristic city |

The Miraikan was a nice thing to do but we also just liked wandering around the very futuristic Odaiba. I feel like this is the most futuristic part of Tokyo with many very weird buildings, wide streets and a very different atmosphere from the normally crowded Tokyo.
We also went to two different shopping centers that were pretty good all though the one called Palette Town was definitely the weirdest mall I've been to.
One picture to prove it:
Old Rome theme plus laser and a disco ball. Really?
We took the monorail back home which was also fun as it drives in between all the interesting houses and gives great view over this weird island.
I definitely recommend a spacy day in Odaiba, just to get the vibe!
