Cloudy Shinjuku Night...
Made it back not so wet, I got a clear umbrella for 500 yen and learn they were quite hard to find in the states! But i can tell you everyone here loves the clear umbrella! I guess since its such a crowded town you really need to see where your going! Won some more fun things in the UFO machines, like another Misato, A Toro Plush, and a surprise gift for a friend. Won some lost some at pachi-slo, just played for fun so didn't bother winning. And got a CoCo Ichiban fan (third times a charm)! Well rest time, tomorrow is clear days so back to sightseeing! Got some fun pics so go check out the JAPAN folder for the rest of the trip as well as KYOTO for a more traditional view.
Maid Working Hard in The Rain...
Had some Becker's Burger for lunch and ventured into Akihabara! Forgot to mention last time I bought a Revoltech Jin-Roh figure as well as the whole set of Evangelion Limited UCC Coffee Cans (for 7 bucks)! This time I'm just gonna get some think overs and then probably move onto Shibuya or Shinjuku for more shopping! I think we'll also hit up CoCo Ichiban one more time for dinner!
Walking in Typhoon...
The news doesn't lie, the typhoon hit and it's been raining since early morning, I was able to roll out of bed and fumble for my camera just in time to zoom in on this person walking in the rain. The skies are so grey, but that won't keep us in. Gonna use this non sightsee-able time to revisit Akihabara and other places that require indoor shopping, will try to get some pictures as well~ But for now the JAPAN , GUNDAM and KYOTO folder has much to see!

Yakiniku Battle...
The difference between more or less meat in Yakiniku is not only your level in chopstickery but also how you like your meat! That being said I like mine medium rare which makes for perfect meat hoarding lol. But since that would be unfair to others, we avoided the situation by going to KUI KUI VIKING! Basically an ALL you can eat joint! for around 30 dollars a person you get to down as much as you want from meats to sushi for 90min's alcohol included! And boy was it worth it, now its off to bed so, so that we can enjoy the last few days here before returning to the real world. *sob*
Asakusa Complex...
Asakusa in the rain is cooler and crowded then ever! I've been here a few times already, and it never ceases to amaze me. The last time I came the Hōzōmon gate was under restoration, but this time it's Sensō-ji! What bad timing, but entrance to the temple was still available so that was cool. Also Nakamise street was covered up due to rain and had some new stores, had some snacks and got a few more omiyages! Got some wonderful pics here so check it out in the JAPAN Folder
and of course if you have time visit GUNDAM and KYOTO as well! Now going to head off to SanChome in Shinjuku then Ikebukuro to look for some meat and party!

Morning Helicopter...
The great thing about base camp is basically the choppers waking you up every morning! Today was a smaller one so it wasn't as loud as the chinook! The forecast seems cloudy all day and light rain, but that won't stop us! The incoming typhoon might (MIGHT). But it's off to Asakusa today and later all you can eat Viking! Since today is the GF's birthday! Happy Birthday L.R.M!
The Clay Man Chills...
Ahhh my feets are owie. Why because we decided to walk back from Shinjuku to Akebonobashi just to see Japan at night, it was a decent walk and the conbini stores came in handy. Ended the day in Shinjuku San Chome. And gonna rest up for Asakusa tomorrow, looks like rain but we'll rough it out! Oh yea this little clay figure was sitting in the median in between Nishi-Shinjuku and Kabuku-cho! I thought it was pretty random and cool!
