Miscellaneous: CASH and LOTS of it!! I was actually here 'on business', had to pick up some papers, so I wasn't looking at buying much. But as it was my first time, I just decided to turn the rest of the day into a quick adventure. I took out 300 dollars from my bank account (when I finally found my bank...) Nevertheless, with my day ticket, batteries for my camera, simple lunch, simple dinner, a CD, some silly little things for friends, drinks along the way (sightseeing is thirsty work!) and of course the omiyage, I was left with almost a third of that! If you are going to be paying entrance fees and buying lots of gadgets etc. bring MUCH MUCH more!! Still, I think that just by BEING THERE you can have FUN!! :)
