Things I woke up to today. A very entertaining email from someone offering to "settle down and get married and also go into investments" They also offered to send photos of themself. The second was having a package thrown through my door, which was far more exciting than the first, for it was a cosplay wig I'd ordered for a photoshoot/Minifest ( Read more... )

I was reading a manga(ok reading to the best of my limited abilities in Japanese, but mostly looking at the pictures) I bought in Ikebukuro, so 'nuff said about the content, and my sister says to me suspiciously.

"Are you reading a romance novel?! Old ladies read romance novels ( Read more... )

I could just about call it that, though day 3 starts with my 2 companions deciding that Kaminari-mon and Senso-ji would be a good idea because it is pretty much right behind our hostel aaaand...there are souvenir shops on Nakamise-dori!

( Yea... )

So, yesterday we went out to Shibuya...among the quality questions my sister asked me was "Why are people wearing kimonos". Apparently being in Japan is not a good enough reason...Never mind the fact I made you look at them in the department store yesterday ( Read more... )

I was going to make a post while sitting around doing nothing at Helsinki airport, but their wifi, while free, was also not working for more than 3 seconds at a time. And nor it seemed was their seat allocations, we almost didn't get on our flight. But we did, and all is well for I am now in Tokyo~ I'll warn you though, I didn't sleep on the flight ( Read more... )

It seemed today, I had to orientate myself with landmarks that had `sun` in their name. I went to Nakano and Ikebukuro today, for very good reason...Nakano Broadway and Otome Road. Yay~ Otaku shopping~ Yaoi~ Doujinshi~ Michael didn`t come for very good reason XD

( Otaku shopping and getting lost...story of my life )

Random meetings in Tokyo continue...

( I'm still sleep deprived but I've had food and sugar now and feel like ranting~ )

Today we left the hostel with the intention of going to Odaiba...

( ...But instead )

Despite the horrifying map, the Tokyo subway is actually quite easy. Unless you're an idiot such as me, who didn't listen to the announcement to change trains, despite the fact it was given in Japanese and English...

( So I got a little off course today, but found...a certain landmark of interest. )

God, I am so tired after that bus, but not wanting to waste time in Tokyo sitting around,so I went for a walk to Ueno Park because it was close to the hostel I'm staying at.

It had cherry blossoms in bloom....it's Febrauary, so they're about 2 months too early? We didn't quite believe it, Michael then asked a random person if they were cherry ( Read more... )
