The weather on the flight into Tokyo was beautiful. Mt Fuji was clearly visible amidst a scattering of low cloud but I had packed my camera in my check-in luggage so no photo. Haiz. Airport bus into central Tokyo was 1 hour 40 minutes, thankfully traffic was smooth. With my stop being the terminal stop, I was the only person on the bus after the penultimate stop; I kept thinking the driver might burst into Danzen Futari wa Pretty Cure at any moment. ;)
While reacquainting myself with the neighbourhood around the service apartment, I discovered that the Meguro branch of Anna Millers has been replaced by a Citibank branch. Oh noes, I will have to go a surviving branch for my meido-served bottomless coffee fix. Well, at least there’s an ATM nearby to draw cash for buying anime goods.
And the free broadband in my room is a sweet 100 mbs. Much faster than what I’m used to back in our glorious democratic people’s island paradise republik. But just when I thought I could say: I’m in ur country, watching ur animez, it turns out that I can’t receive Chiba TV (Lucky Star at midnight tonight!). orz I can’t believe I’m in the Land of the Anime Shows and I am still relying on moyism for my anime fix. orz
Tomorrow, Akiba!
LMAO *goes back to looking for LS 19*
Don’t break the bank while you’re in Japan dude! Can’t wait to hear of your EPIC adventures!
Have a great time in Japan! Be sure to blog about everything, so we unlucky gaijin can enjoy it, too.
Have a great time, I’m jealous - if you haven’t been and you have an extra day or two, I’d recommend getting down to Kyoto…Akihabara is cool but for sightseeing and picture taking Kyoto’s my favorite spot on Earth.
I remember the shockingly fast internet (at least compared to what we get in the US) from the last time I was in Japan…my wife and I swore The Internet Itself had to be in the basement of our hotel, because that was the only possible explanation for how it could be so fast…
So I take it you’ll be hitting the big events that are to come this week and next week? A friend of mine is there now, lucky bastard. But like moyism said, don’t break your bank while you’re there.
Gah! Urayamashii…. XD Have fun bro… rem to check their ic Looking forward to your pics! :)
