Travels Continue
Yesterday I browsed Tokyo and now I'm sitting in the super cheap Madras Hostel in Bangkok. It's NZ$44 for three nights in my own room with air con, a TV (not that I'm likely to use it) and free 30mins of internet per day. Sweeeeet!
Tokyo was really cool! It's like one of those futuristic cities you see in the movies where everything is multi level. A typical bit of downtown Tokyo would consist of about six levels. Two different levels of subway, two or three levels of actual road and then one, two or even three different levels of railway/skytrain mixed in with the roads. It's amazing! I'll post photos as soon as I have the chance, maybe tomorrow?
The other super cool thing was the Emerging Science and Technology Museum which is awesomeness to a tech geek like myself. They have that robot that walks like a human (Mike knows the one I mean) as well as about a billion other interactive exhibits to do with a multitude of topics from communications and nanotechnology to environmental sustainabilty and then exploring deep underwater. And the best bit is that there's tons of interactive stuff!
Wohoo! Should have photos up tomorrow as well as stuff about Bangkok.
Cheerio

Hi Richard!
Is this Honda's ASIMO robot (claimed to have the world's most advanced walking movement)? The ASIMO developers came to Stanford last year, and my room mate (whose professor invited them) and I danced with it on stage in front of 2,000 kids from Bay Area.
