Tokyo

I had a trip into Tokyo with Sammy to hand in his application for a passport at the British Embassy. All went well with that, the lady behind the reinforced glass was very friendly and we were back on the street in a few moments having been reunited with phones and cameras and whatnot.

It was not sunny, but the cherry blossoms were about half out. We strolled up around the imperial moat and on to Akihabara to peruse the plentitude of electronic bits and bobs. I bought a cheep solar charge controller, a couple of meters with different ranges of functionality and a lot of other bits and bobs. I could not resist a couple of 100farad capacitors. They each hold 2.5 volts, so in series they will hold five. I am interested to see how much energy they hold in real terms, powering LEDs or charging the ipod etc..
