Today was another epic day in Japan!
I awoke today at 8:00, and then slept in until 8:12, showered, and met with the guys in the other room.
[Me in the morning]
Actually, sleeping last night was weird because halfway through the night I awoke and found that I was back to back with Victor and that most of the blanket we were sharing had slipped over to his side in the night.
I knew it wasn't his fault, and I didn't yiew to wake him, so I ended up squeezing in and wrapping my right leg around the blanket that I had XD
It wasn't bad :)
The blanket was probably too hot anyway lol ;)
Anyway, after I went over to talk with the other guys we decided on where we wanted to go for the day, after consulting our guidebook (as seen below).
We went out and began walking towards the Tokyo mtr lines and stopped at a burger joint for breakfast.
(Yah weird huh? lol)
[Above: My meal, a burger with egg and lettuce and some sort of sauce, fries, and a 'orange' soda drink]
It was awkward ordering because I couldn't read the menu and the lady had to help me... o.o lol
But luckily the food was delicious! :D
If unhealthy and fattening... xD
I think my heart is like DEAR GOD BOY, you are eating so unhealthy this week! lol, but whatevs, when you hang with the dudes you eat dude food, which isn't usually too healthy ;)
So yeah, we went on the train and headed out for somewhere where they had anime and the like. (Idr where, but one of the places we went today was called Shibuya, one was called Shinjuku, and the other... the first.. had a N in its name, idr what it was called though.
I'll figure it out later and fix this post to reflect it :>)
Well anyway, we went out and Jeff led us to a secret anime and figures, plushies, collectibles, things, store area mall thingy.
It was really cool! :D
[Above: Some cool stores I went in to get the manga I wanted :D]
There was at least two floors of various shops selling all sorts of cool and interesting stuff, and one even was selling a rare or collectors item Duffy that was grey!
It was 250 usd though! @o@!
Well, Jeff and I spent a loong time shopping, so long that the other guys went down without us while we plowed onwards lol.
But after Jeff got done looking at his Idol stuff and I got done looking at manga, games, and anime, we went down and got lunch.
(also it is worth noting, humorously, that we used our wifi hotspot sim card thingy to find the others when we went down to find them, chasing the signal to see when it increased in strength. :P xD)
[My meal! It was delicious! The broth was amazing! :D]
[The guys all lined up with their respective ramen orders in the little 'hole in the wall' restaurant]
[Needless to say, there wasn nothing left when we were done! XD]
[The ramen restaurant we had lunch at]
Interestingly, the way you order ramen is by paying a machine that prints you a ticket or receipt that you give to the cooks.
After lunch we went out and about exploring and shopping and the like.
(iirc, really tired atm lol (its 1:41 a.m. right now as I write this XD)
We found some large store with many levels, in which Jeff showed me some bargain cd's for 1 usd each, and in which I found some manga like things I was looking for :P
The store even had some weird Japan only nds thingy:
After that we did more shopping, and looking around.
We entered a sports store for the aircon, due to the intense heat and humidity of the day, and looked at the soccer things that were being sold there.
We also found a dollar store (105 Yen store), where I got some souvenirs for my two dogs and some other smmall things I wanted.
I don't quite remember the chronology of how things happened or when or where we went on the metro, but eventually we found some street with black guys hawking things, crepe stands all over the place, and basically nothing that interested us aside from the crepes xD
[Donald enjoying the ice cream crepe he ordered. (actually, they all had ice cream of some flavor on them)]
Surprisingly, I suggested we get crepes and then ordered ice cream O-O lol
After that we walked back to the mtr and headed in search of a restaurant in our guidebook.
When we finally found the place, after going to a ton of wrong places in the opposite direction, wew realized that the restaurant was closed down XD
So we settled on sushi for dinner.
Now I know what you are thinking, that I don't like sushi...
And that is true.
That is why I only got two plates of smoked salmon XD
But it was good and this was all that was left:
After dinner we wandered around in search of the sky view, which we found out half way there was closed -.- (kinda like the closed down restaurant we searched for earlier lol)
After that, we headed home.
However; while we were walking to the MTR we lost Victor! D:!
He just disappeared.
He was right behind us and then poof, he was gone!
Since he had the wifi, we went around looking for where the signal was strongest and hunted for him xD
Eventually, after quite a while, we found him. Turns out he was taking a phone call and was a teeny bit hidden behid some ledge that jutted out from the wall.
But he was safe! *phew*
Then we headed home :)
I got a 6-inch tuna sub with cheese, and surprisingly it was only 420 or 450 Yen :P
Cheap :>
(the cheese was 30 Yen)
Then we headed back to the hotel, Jeff and I discussed pokemon and hacks and all sorts of things, and then we played a game of comedic punishment.
Basically whoever laughed while watching the comedy show got beaten. (err.. spanked not beaten)
And surprisingly I was chosen to beat them o.O
Lolll it was weird.
But I think everyone had fun, and we got to see the comedy people get beaten too.
(thats where the idea comes from, the game show peoples if they laughed got spanked, etc etc)
More like a whack I guess idk, dont ask me xD
But yeah, I started this blog post but couldnt finish it due to being so tired after the game, and I went to bed at 2 a.m. :P
I am actually writing this last bit the morning after, at 9:11 A.M.
OH! and we watched anime last night too, on the TV. (a lil, after the comedy thing)
Donald went downstairs with me to help me get an extra blanket, so that was good too.
All in all I got a lot of souvenirs and had a blast :D
Another great day in Japan! ^.^
Thanks for reading! :>
Love,

[Above: Donald tried and ate Whale :O lol, only in Japan xD]
[No littering elephants allowed in Japan? lol]
[Store just for tamagotchi stuff? :o]
[Lol? Paper that helps you rap? xD There were a ton of weird translations in the 105 Y store, such as Gummed Tape ;>]
That's all folks! :)
