Is there anywhere you would recommend in/around shinjuku. We have been ueno(the zoo was great), asakusa, akihabara and all over shinjuku. Any suggestions?

The main question I have is 'Where are the bins!?'. Im gathering rubbish throughout the day without a bin in sight. Are they hidden or am I missing something?

Also, a little language question. Is 'de wa mata' see you soon? When ordering something, does the number of items go first:

IE
'ni grande cappuchino onegai shimasu'(excuse the spelling)

or is it

'grande cappuchino ni onegai shimasu'.

Also, what is a less formal good bye, as alot of people are saying something Im not understanding, it sounds like the last bit is 'ma sa'.

Thanks, Philip

Missed the last questions.... are you referring to something that sounds like "Ja, ma ta ne"??? That will be "Ok, see you later then"
