Well Sunday night was certainly an epic adventure. We decided to try clubbing in Roppongi, which seemed to have a good reputation for that sort of thing, but when we got there, IT SUCKS, theres just africans promoting strip joints everywhere, sucks. It just does, and what few bars there are are full of westerners, i didn't come here to drink with americans thanks, id have gone to america to do that. So we gave up and walked to the Tokyo tower, and spent some time in there. Then we went to Akihabara (it was about 10pm by this time) on the train. When we got there we spent 3 hours in Club Sega, playing various games, Tekken 6, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, Initial D (a drifting racing game in which i won EVERY GAME I PLAYED), Taiko tetsujin, Street fighters 2 and 4, and lots more. When the arcade closed we went and had a kebab, because me and Nicolai like kebabs and we stumbled upon a place. Then we had a wander to Ueno park and sat in there for a while talking until half past two. Then, as we (slightly drunkenly) realised that we had missed the last train and would have to wait three hours for the first train, rather than repeat fridays nights, sleep on the beach, then under a bridge, we thought wed try a challenge and try and walk to Takadanobaba from Ueno park so we could get the first train from there, which means we save a lot of money on the metro. Now for those of you who aren't familiar with Tokyo, ITS A LONG WAY, about 10KM (look on google maps), Would we make it in time? Would we ever make it? We had 3 hours and we took that challenge. Our epic 3 hour walk, non-stop i might add, took us from Ueno to akihabara (again) to suidobashi and the tokyo dome, to ushigome, to kagurazaka, to waseda and finally takadanobaba, we arrived at shortly after 5.10, missing the first train by 6 minutes. But we certainly had a great time.
I got up at noon today and, as it was Nicolais last day, we went to Akihabara again, to do some shopping (both window and the normal variety) I got the most awesome tshirt of all time, those of you who know me will see it soon and their eyes will explode. K-on! and Tengen toppa Gurren lagann manga (both awesome) and the new GazettE album.
