I've been busy with classes and traveling around, but here are the pictures I have taken so far.
Click the link for pictures!!
Hehe, lunch. One of my first here, from 7-11 no less :D You buy lunch sets there, and they heat them up for you and everything. It's so nice!!! This is: Two pieces of chicken, two dumplings, spaghetti, and rice. Strange combination, but delicious!
That's what Matt was eating. It's Gyuudon, which is beef over rice. Also very tasty. We both had mellon soda to drink :D Sooo goood.
A cool Tetris poster we saw in the train station in Akihabara (the electronics and anime capital!)
Random Hide posters in a random Gachapon station.
(Hide = Deceased Japanese rock star, Gachapon = toy vending machines in Japan)
A picture of the crepe stand. I have been wanting to eat Japanese crepes for FOREVER!!
My first crepe. A brownie, ice cream, custard, bananas, and chocolate sauce. THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!!!!!
This funny bat was on the register of the crepe stand :D
THIS IS FOR YOU MARY BETH!!! I saw these and thought of you.
Panda stuffed animals in a UFO catcher machine. (Crane machines in Japan)
Hehe, they even have spongebob over here. :D
The sign says 'winter nuigurumi' which means winter plush for those of you who were wondering :)
A random picture of Shibuya, a cool town with lots of stores and stuff. Where the above pictures were taken.
I got a picture of famous Hachiko!!!! I have a picture of me with it, but it's on Matts camera, and I need to get it.
This is a link to the story if you are not familiar with it:

This is a picture of a crazy goomba off of a Japanese Mario game box :D
Woohoo!! Giant Panda Z!!! I took my picture with that too, but again, it's on Matts camera :p
This poor little stuffed bird was abandoned on a sign on the road. I took it's picture because it was cute :D
One of the sidewalk tiles in Akihabara. A robot welcoming me!!!
Tile says: 'konnichiwa, Akihabara e yokooso' Which means "Hello, welcome to Akihabara!'"
a baby can of Tropicana juice I got from the 100 yen store, for 50 yen. (two for 100 yen.) :D
A pile of snacks, with the ridiculous octopus soap dispenser from the 100 yen store. It was too ridiculous not to get. Yes, those are Jellyfish gummies!!! (They only look like them, no Jellyfish inside :p)
Matt got cool ice climbers dot pixel puzzles. They are kind of like light brite, with out the light or brite :D
Here's a picture of him working on it.
A picture of the crazy snack Matt got. It's a crazy pepper, to symbolize the intense spiciness of the snack. Matt says it's not spicy at all. :p But the picture is still funny!
Crap on my walls. Except for the calender, I just put up free stuff from around the places I went so that I didn't have plain walls.
That's it for this update. I'll do more things and take more pictures soon!!!
Miss you everyone :D
