Lively if not Live from Japan

Now I have survived the first 48 hours in Tokyo, Japan, I'm in good enough shape to discuss the first 24 with you. I'm eating some BIG Cup Noodle Curry from Circle K in Kanda (神田).
Here is my list of goals for the first 24 hours:
Primary
- Eat (食べる [たべる] taberu)
- Get onto the Internet (インターネット inta-netto)
- Find Asakusa (浅草)
- Get key (鍵 [かぎ] kagi) to room
- Get to room (部屋 [へや] heya) in Asakusa
- Get lost (迷 [まよう] mayou) in Tokyo
- Get unlost (見当たる [みあたる] miataru) in Tokyo
- Find Akihabara (秋葉原)
- Read Manga (漫画 [まんが] manga)
On the plane I met a nice Japanese man who lives in Tokyo. We talked about Tokyo and a few things. When I got off, I went through customs quite easily. They speak English and they are quite helpful. Before exiting the airport I met a nice American who was in a similar position as me trying to find an ATM to buy a ticket. We found a confusing atm that gave us our money eventually. Note to traveller: 1 yen (円 [えん] en) is approximately 1 penny, so 30,000 yen is $300 US depending on the exchange rate.
