Mr. TGB's Wacky Japan Adventure - **PIC UPDATE-PG4**NSF56K
For the next two weeks, I will be blogging - LIVE! - from the heart of crass consumerism and tight bodies sexually repressed Asians - JAPAN! This is my second trip here, and thankfully I know the ropes a bit so I wont be lost like last time.
My trip started this morning at 700AM with me going to KINKO's to print out the directions to my hostel because my printer at home decided to take a shit. The KINKO's folks were out of character - and by out of character I mean they werent complete dicks when I walked in. At 8:30 my ride to El Airporto showed up, and after a quick stop at JAMBA - we headed on over to the flying death trap. On the way I had a weird feeling - like I was going to be sploded or some shit. . . There were no splosions - but there was a big fat red fucking CANCELLED FLIGHT! Of course my flight was the last possible flight to SFO to make a connection to J-Town. Five minutes later it started raining. At this point I thought that all the baby punching karma I had was coming back to bite me in the ass, and that I was not meant to enjoy my two weeks vacation. Some middle eastern chick (no doubt a terrorist) came up to us Intl Fliers, and told us that we had to wait in the "HA HA YOURE FROM DENVER AND NOW YOURE FUCKED" line, which you would easily confuse for the line at the IMMIGRATION OFFICE downtown. . . I of course said "fuck that" - and waited in the Intl. Line I was in. . .eventually some asian chick came up and told a few of us of a shuttle bus that was going to traffic people to SFO - score. . well would have been a score if this obese chick hadnt hopped in the van and INSISTED she get to sit up front. No biggie (except for her that is) - but then we of course hit MAJOR FUCKING TRAFFIC. Three times. I had 2 hours and 30 minutes to get to my flight; I got to it with about 10 minutes to spare. After boarding, I got stuck with some shit seats: on the left, some douchebag from Hong Kong who didnt seem to have a filter to prevent himself from singing - the entire god damned 11 Hour Flight! - and some smelly guy from Sand-Land (aka the middle east). I wanted to drink, but knew that if I did, I would fall asleep and I would be wired once I reached the hostel, which just fucks with your jetlag even more. To add insult to injury, the only movies they that were good was Talledega and The Illusionist (which I thought was gay as fuck but was actually good). The fucked up thing about the service - the movies were on a timer. . .so you couldnt start and stop it like I was able to do on other flights. Which means if you missed a part of a movie - you had to wait three hours before it restarted. FINALLY! - We get to Tokyo, and after about 30 minutes in the terminal, and one hour on the subway. . .I step out on to the Asakusa Street. . .at night. . .and am totally fucking lost. If anyone has been here before you know this place was designed by drunkards. . .shit is just tossed together in every which way. There is NO reason to the grid layout here. If theres space, they slap a street on it and some buildings. Factor in a 70LB load Im carrying around, a 9PM check in time (it was 8:21 when I got off the subway) and Im getting antsy. After wandering for about 10 minutes, I decide to get serious, and manage to find the place. First impressions - theres some good looking foreign tail here. Right now I am hungry, plus I got a free pass for booze from the hostel (they own a bar I guess). . .havent taken too many pictures - but heres one of a normal Jap subway car. . .

You went to Japan by yourself for a Christmas vacation? What kind of vacation is that?
|
That dude on the subway doesn't look like a "Kimi Raikkonen". THIEF!!

I just woke up. I actually woke up in the middle of the night because some Spanish guy thought it would be fun to set his alarm for 3AM their time - nevermind we (me being this guy that really does look like HIRO NAKAMURA!) couldnt find where the hell the alarm was coming from.
Weathers good right now, supposed to be cloudy. Im about to go out to find something to eat as I havent eaten FOOD in about 24 hours - just booze. I wont be doing any remote traveling (other than to Hiroshima). If I had a Rail Pass maybe - but Ive visited rural Japan before. . .maybe when I go to Kyoto. I brought my D50 with me. |
wicked shit dude...
...ya im going nowhere this year but hopefully next year i got some trips in order... Picks of uh hot jap girls even though i dont' find em attractive...but some are decent. |

My bed at the hostel. Guy next to me has the EXACT same laptop. I walked in on him on his, and thought that he was using mine. [img]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6343/japan2ed5.jpg[/img] One view of Sumida River. Asahi is one of the big beer manufacturers in Japan, probably second in noteriety to Sapporo (although here in Tokyo - Asahi is everywhere; dont see a lot of Sapporo). [img]http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3686/japan3xc9.jpg[/img] One of the MANY side streets you MUST navigate in Tokyo if you want to get ANYWHERE. The city was set up this way - with the Imperial castle in the middle - and the roads spiraling out around it, so that any invasions would be difficult. [img]http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8296/japan4yf6.jpg[/img] Coffe Shop. Obviously. [img]http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2619/japan5ya7.jpg[/img] Hit the fucking spot. 400 Yen (about 3 bucks). [img]http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/3114/japan7zf6.jpg[/img] Asahi Tower. Sperm? Poo? No. . .Beer Foam. Yea. I think the guy who designed it got fired. [img]http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6839/japan8sh0.jpg[/img] Another shot of Sumida River, off the Kamagota Bridge. The blue tents are homeless people who live on the river. There are a shitload of homeless. The great thing - they dont beg for money. [img]http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/8905/japan10anw6.jpg[/img] Just a shitload of shoes. Were headed to Akihabara in a minute (Ive been there before) - so I will have tons of pictures of Japanese men shopping for gadgets and porn - all freely available in Akihabara. Right now, I am sitting in the common area, and this guy has commandered the remote and for about 10 seconds he kept it on a porn station. Good shit. |

And youre never alone in Tokyo. Especially an American. |
