First week, first meat.

Ossu, everyone! It is I, Freddy ya Friend!

I made a new/my own blog, since I didn't like the address my dad had made. Yeah, I didn't know you could change it, but whatever!

Here's a quick review of the first week. It's late Sunday right now, and I have to get up early, so I'll probably add more later.

Saturday-Sunday
We get on plane, Economy Extra, woo, upgrades ftw. 10 hour flight in front of us, we lean back and relax. We're on two seperate rows with an empty seat beside us, so lots of room to put our stuff.
I watch some shitty movie about some amateur movie makers.. or something, with that fat actor dude Jack Black. Sleep.

Arrive in Japan! God, it's hot. lolwut 37 degrees ftl.
We take a train into Tokyo, and crash on our hotel after searching for it for 1 hour. We get something to eat at a place called Jonathan's. Tasted like bleh.

Monday
Monday.. what the hell happened Monday.. Oh right, we found out there was a huge cosplay gettogether something every Sunday, which we'd missed, and we're supposed to be on Mt. Fuji next Sunday. Shite :(
We try out the metro for the first time and go to Akihabara, the mekka for otakus. God, it was awesome, I bought like 5 mangas, they cost 400 yen each! That's 20 kr, and they're brand new, the used are 100 yen (5 kr). You who use Euro and Dollars or whatever, go convert yourself, I cba right now o/

Tuesday
Argh.. feels like an eternity since it was Tuesday.. Think we went back into Akihabara, yeah, to get a small computer laptop thing converter translator dictionary for me. Costed a bunch, but it can explain kanji and stoofs.
Erm, what else... I checked anime airtimes on the (crappy) computers on our hotel, yeah, and watched a few. Man, some of them are really late, 25:26 in the night, and they're not very naughty or anything..

Wednesday
Ah yes, this was the day we met Tonami-san. Tonami-san is a 60-something year old Japanese man, father of the friend of one of my dad's accomplices.. er, acquaintances. He showed us around where we wanted to go, like Asakusa, Harajuku and Ginza. Ginza is the expensive place of Tokyo, where Gucci, Armarni and Apple iPod stores dominate the main roads. Harajuku is the youth of Tokyo go. There's this street full of gothloli Japanese girls, weird toy/cloth stores, tons of cafés and restaurants. Hard to breathe there, glad I'm two heads higher than them.
Asakusa was where that big shrine was, and I had dango! Woo! It tasted like licking burnt pancake fat though, think I got the wrong ones.
We sat at some café and talked to two Japanese guys who talked a bit moonspeak with me. My dad asked me to ask them if they were married, but I kind of hesitated (I told you he was hapy-go-lucky, Roddy).
Then we went to some basement where cute Japanese girls went all IRASSHAIMASE~BYONG over us, we paid 10.000 yen for free drinks and girls, etc. Lots of smoke, and this big Japanese boss-type man with a mole gave me a Lupin doll.. it smells a bit weird though, but I thanked him and bowed.
Ami, or Ayako, was our girl for the night. She was really cute, but loud, she reminds me of Lala though. Oh! Speaking of Lala, from To Love Ru.. there're these machines all over Akihabara and manga/anime stores called gambaruche.... or something. Put in 100-300 yen, turn the wheel, and get a figurine in a Pokéball-like capsule.
I found a To Love Ru one, and wanted to get a complete set of the girls, but you can see the results of my tries on attached picture.

Thursday
I love my English. The Japanese do too. But I certainly don't love their. "LET'S HAPPY WITH BIG SMILE", lmfao. Japanese TV is win, but there're commercials in between the anime episodes, which is fail.
I bought more manga... and... I remember Thursday to be kind of fast, weeee diiiid--- uh.
Check picture for my manga anyway.

Friday
IT'S LATE OKAY. Dad can probably remember more about these days than me. I think we went to see a movie Friday. Or.. Thursday. Anyhow, we watched The Happening, and IT WAS SHIT. COMPLETE TURD. DO NOT WATCH IT.
It's essentially a continuation of Signs, or so it would seem. Half way into the movie, it ends. It's like how I thought Transformers would be, but actually is. The idea is great, but the whole movie is just... fail. Small review: NY Central Park is attacked by some virus which causes people to: 1, mess up their speech, 2, be physically disoriented, 3, kill themselves. Kind of cool, and lame at the same time, since people suddenly stand still, and start stabbing themselves, but then suddenly picking up a gun and shooting themselves, or cutting their wrists with shards of glass.
The messing up of speech is cool though, but when a mother calls her daughter, puts it on speaker phone and she goes "Calculus .. calculus .. *window crashes*" (She jumped out the window), I just facepalmed. "DURR WE NEED SOMETHING CREEPY FOR HER TO SAY, HOW BOUT SOME MATH, NO ONE GETS A RAT'S ASS ABOUT THAT ANYWAY, DURRR". Would have been way better if they spoke in tongues.

Saturday
Was yesterday. Well, technically the day before yesterday. We watched another movie, The Forbidden Kingdom. I thought it was the "Mummy 3" to begin with, because there was no picture (We just randomly pass by the cinema and watch the movie playing right now), but it was the one with Jet Li and Jackie Chan in it. It was about kung fu and some American kid who was supposed to return a sacred staff to the Monkey King Sun Wukong, aka Son Goku. Cool kung fu effects, but the plot was kind of bleh, and a bit too fast. One second the kid has going "I CANT UNDERSTAND JOO" to Jackie, and he goes "CUZ YER NOT LISTENING NIG" (I lol'd), and the other second they're engaged in an epic battle against the Jade Empire Warlord.
Whatever, cool film if you like string-flying effects and kung fu.
I go ALONE to Akihabara and buy more manga. Or was that Friday... bleh.

Sunday
Oh yeah, we've moved into seperate rooms in the hotel, THIS IS AWESOME, shame it's only been two days. I took a dump and watched Code Geass at the same time. Pic of my room attached.
What else did we do today... Oh, brainfart cleared, we bought a camera Thursday, that's why no pictures of anything before that.
Back to today, or, yesterday, fucking clock, hope I can get up, we went to Akihabara again... I saw some pianos and got all anxious, been a long time since I touched one... oh, and I tried to get a Gundam robot in one of those hook machines. Goddamn moneystealer.
Btw Rukasu, I've bought the full set of To Love Ru manga available, the next volume is out TOMORROW WOO, you should see them. There's lots of ecchi in it, 10 times more than the anime. Oh, and I'll send you a Lala figurine if I can, but costs a bunch to send mail here...

Better get to bed, though my pillow is stuffed with what seems like moth balls. Hard as hell, crunchy, and smells like puke, plus the aircondition makes it vibrate, so I get a headache. God. nn peeps o/
