Japan - Status: Complete
I guess people who arent my friends in real life wouldnt know that i am back from japan already! Day 34 was my last day in japan and i flew out that night!
Uneventful flight, though there was a delay to leave while they decided on a new route that wouldnt end in a fiery volcano.
I hope you all enjoyed my updates and maybe ill go somewhere else again soon.
Until then, i will return to my regular...

Japan - Day 34: Cafe Connoisseur
Awwww hell naw! Last day in japan, time to quicky do some stuff. I know there were things i said id do that i then didnt… but it all goes to show i am a liar at the best of times.
Maid Cafe!
Now I couldnt NOT do this! Given my own experience as a maid i had to see how the pros did it, and akihabara is probably one of the better places to go! Jay and I went to @home cafe, which have 2...

Japan - Day 33: Luck optimiser enabled
Now, ive never considered myself an unlucky person. When i roll a dice, all the sides tend to somehow be 6’s, yet i was still impressed with what i obtained today while trying to get rid of all my yen monies.
Ok, this is a crap picture, but just hold out a second. I bought 8 of these steins;gate phone thingies, and there are 10 designs, 9 common and 1 rare (which is shown as a ? on the...

Critical Mission Error
My aim was to go to Pasela in akihabara and try their idolm@ster meals so as to get the coaster for shinn. It seems like both locations in akiba are for karaoke where you can also get a meal. Is it possible to just get the meal and not do karaoke? Is there one in another location that allows this?

Japan - Day 32: Oh Desire!
I said i was going to go to the umineko mansion right?! I actually did. so there.
Overall this was one of my cheapest expeditions. 150 there, 150 to get in, 150 to get back!
For those of you who arent pimps, todays expedition was to Kyu-Furukawa Gardens, which to the average japanese person is just a western themed garden and a mansion. In reality it is the Ushiromiya’s island mansion...

Strange Nintendo Product
Ok, so every day while at mount zao, we would go to family mart to get snacks. I would also look at the toys, and there was one small strange box which had the nintendo logo on it! I had no idea what it actually was though, and despite its cost i finally bought it! So here is my first unboxing.
Ok… awesome… lets start it all off with a blurry photo! this is why i have so many...

Japan - Day 25~30: Snow World
Music to set the mood.
Ok, im just going to post everything from my time in the snow since its better than having like 6 posts with only 3 things each!
We were staying at Mount Zao, which for you filthy weeaboos out there, is host to the five color pond from love hina (though i never took a picture)
The hotel we stayed at had hotsprings, and so, we had our hotspring episode! Again, i have no...

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,...

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!

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...

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...

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!

Japan - Day 15: Aquarium! Aquarium! Aquarium!
I had been looking forward to this for a while, so im glad i actually got to go!! I took many pictures today… about 200, so ill keep it brief.
Damn straight thats a big aquarium!!!
From what i read at the start of the aquarium, they cover the things that live near the ring of fire where all the volcanoes and earthquakes are, because all that fire makes for some good evolution.

irispca asked: GJ on 50000 forest photos. Yep. That's totally what we all want to see from Japan. ALSO SINCE YOU ASKED, CAN YOU SLEEP IN A CAPSULE HOTEL FOR LIKE ONE NIGHT? Then do a video log replicating that nice coffin feeling.

Japan - Day 14: Another day, another castle
Woke up early so i could sample the hotels buffet breakfast, was a little disappointed as it was just things like undercooked scrambled eggs, weird bacon squares, pretty good yoghurt and personalised mini hotdogs that the chef lady would make! Either way it meant I had something to eat.
After getting to our next hotel since the current one didnt have free rooms for any more nights, we then went...

Japan - Day 12: Not a cloud in sight
Off to Miyajima today, which is a huge torii thing in the middle of water! First time catching a ferry in japan too, it was the type that lets cars hop on!
Here is the view from the wharf!…
Now, here are some interesting facts about Myajima: total population is 2500, of that 15 are people. Now… what makes up the rest you are probably wondering??
Deer are president now. They...
