Japan - Day 22: Hinamizawa

To get in the mood for todays post, press play while reading! no, do it.

So today sean and i went to shirakawa-go, which was the visual inspiration for the town hinamizawa, the setting for higurashi no naku koro ni (lit trans: Mind fuck express)

Wait… i dont remember it looking like this in my little girl cartoons…. FUCKING WINTER

Ok, so this was my first time touching snow, eating snow, slipping over on snow, freezing my hands on snow etc. I am happy with snow.

ANYWAY time for the anime pictures, before the rest of them that i took!!

Rika and Satako’s house!!! The bottom has that stupid temp wall up because of the snow, but trust me, its the right house!!!!!

The bridge

Water wheel… i guess

Wait… whose shrine is this??

Well how the fuck am i meant to know if this is the right one???

Yeah… i think i got the right one

Anyway, thats kind of it for the pictures from the anime, now just enjoy the pictures.

Shit man, i should be an animator!

My first snowball… apparently i do it wrong since i apply mega chakra compression so they are solid blocks of ice.

I don’t wan no trouble!

Vlad, I think theres some snow still under the car you can use

Daily bird

NO! poor telephone line ;_;

WUT… this was right outside the elementary school…

On a related note! While walking along the main road, a bus full of schoolgirls went past; one waved at me, so i waved back. Then.. ALL OF THEM started waving! Another thing on my japan to do list completed.

These things turn snow filled roads into regular roads

Daily bird

Mice are a threat to all life

So that was the day!!! on the way home i bought a new flavour of mentos

Apparently its chinese apricot or peach or some shit… but it is poison. i hate it.

Hope you all enjoyed today! Tomorrow is umineko mansion! for reals this time!

Japan - Day 21: time to Rustle some Jimmies!

ALRIGHT!!! Another day with animals!!! This time its magic monkey mountain in kyoto!

Always start the day with torii

Daily bird

Keep this in mind

All these monkeys are just sitting around! they are everywhere! you arent meant to look them in the eyes or touch their food because apparently theyll go crazy. I guess thats true because i saw a few spaz out for no reason during the day!

Oh shit nigga, wut you doin???? This monkey just kept licking the rocks…

Forever alone

you can see all the city from monkey mountain, stupid monkeys dont appreciate shit though.

Haters, hating, etc

This little monkey couldnt reach the water with his tiny head, so he would stick his hand in there, then lick the water off it!!

Oh i didnt mean to intrude! (They were actually fighting, but as per usual, my pictures tend to see what i want to see)

You get to feed the monkeys if you go inside the magic monkey feedin house! for 100￥ you get a bag of cut up apple, and you go and hand it to them (which… you know… youve already seen in the video…) NOW, some of the monkeys are rude little rat dicks. If you give them one piece, sometimes they just start screaming till you give them more! Others chase off the babby ones. Other than that they are polite and dont snatch, since they know i have so much apple.

Then came the weird part… near the end of my third bag, some of them were still coming back for more… but they didnt have space for no apple, they were still chewing it slowly, bits falling out of their mouths, like they were old people or something… and still they reached towards me wanting more of that apple, they just had to have it man.

He is protecting his jimmies from unwanted rustling

The shuriken in the centre indicates this is a common shortcut taken by ninja

FUCK noone told me about this!?!?!?!?

No Visit.

Bamboo forest!

A shrine for getting a girlfriend ;_;

WHOOOOSH

This isnt even an advertised diorama.. .someone randomly made it on the side of the road…

bamboo forest!

mandarin crop

ANYWAY that was the day! Later sean and i went to nagoya to get ready to go to shirakawa tomorrow! and we decided to see what movies they had on the pay channel!

Cool movies yo, got your thor there and wait… is that?

It plays golf with the bathing suit!!! My favourite! thankyou japan!

Japan - Day 20: Full Retard

ok ok ok… SO

The plan was to go to shirakawa-go, but after looking up how to get there i just ended up getting angry and decided i would leave it for now.

NEXT plan was to go to the umineko mansion in tokyo! so i hopped on the shinkansen for the 3 hour trip!.. I left at 3:30…. so i got there at like 6 when it was already closed.

So i went to akihabara for a few hours before my train back to kyoto and went to a retro games store there! played some virtual boy, mario with a steering wheel controller etc.

Also bought some cards that were mario themed, they are much better than the crappy code gayass ones i bought a week ago! i havent taken pictures yet so i have nothing for today. My bad.

So what do you feed a poor lonely deer?

Deer crackers!!!! i tried some, they arent too bad… like old people wheat biscuits.

Japan - Day 18: In which I retell day 17

Ok, so last night i caught the train to nagoya to see Mizuki, Joey and Jack! I know the plan was for me to stay in a capsule, but due to the last minute nature of me planning things, it was going to be difficult and so Yuko saved the day by booking me in at a hotel of the same chain as hers in osaka!! Strangely… this hotel was in hostess district and a quick walk around the block resulted in being propositioned around 8 times… sometimes even in english!

I promise there will be a capsule visit though!

So yeah, the entire day was walking around looking at stores and eating, so instead ill give you the pictures that were good from yesterday!

For spirits who know how to party: Asahi beer!

Tanooki yo!!

Dogs : Permitted
Throwing rocks at birds : Banned
Irish : Banned

I just dont get the whole suffocation fetish thing

Oh cool! some huge power branch i wonder what caused it?!

Oh…

Later it was off to the manga museum… protip… its not great. Unless you can read japanese and just want to sit around reading it, you arent going to get much out of this place. Good for a quick view i suppose! They also have a manga making station where elmin and i tried our best to match the quality of what is currently being produced in japan.

The pork king!

Artful shot in which i capture our group in the reflection

Japan - Day 17: No Visit.

Casuals ruining my vending machines

Meanwhile in Kyoto, its time to do some more tourist things! I forget the name of this place, its just a big collection of buddhist places… NEAT

Hmmm seems cool… wait… whats this around the side?

Peace no matter the cost!!

Im not sure why the little stone babies are wearing dresses, but ill let it pass. Time to go and see all the gardens this place is famous for!! I know that the japanese are very accommodating to visitors.

No Visit.

No Visit… but i dont think they needed the rope fence to get that message across.

No Visit.

Fucking kyoto man…. fucking kyoto.

Japan - Day 16: Anagram City

Ok, i just typed this all up on internet explorer, and then when i told it to post, it did the heading and the tags only…. waste of my time

ANYWAY! I forgot to write about it, but the other day we all went and saw mission impossible 9! popcorn and ticket prices are pretty much the same in australia, so nothing amazing there. I took a picture from the movie that sums up the plot too!

Dinner last night had a talk with a fujoshi about yaoi - that should be enough otaku shit for one post shinn.

Today we took the shinkansen to kyoto, which was once the capital city until they decided to make a new one. As everyone was tired, today turned into a do nothing / sit around net cafe type day, which is fine by me. Jay and i went to a buddhist place on the way though so i would have something to write about!

Note: this net cafe cuts their fruit juice with water… why am i even paying to come here?!

Picture time!
