A random picture I liked so I decided to post it xD.

Back home from Japan. Quite a tiring trip ^^;;;. I’ll show pictures of the trip and some loot later ^^.

Off to Japan for roughly a week. Be back with pics ^^.

Japan Loot 2008

Japan loot 2008

Wish I could have bought more xD

Any otaku that goes to Japan needs to head over to Akihabara (if you’re in the Tokyo area that is :P ) and that is exactly what me and my brother did when we visited Tokyo. The streets were crawling with otaku, more male than female :P . Stores rising to the sky with floors of otaku goods that range from trading cards to ero pc games :P . I visited all of them ^^, for research purposes only :P . Some building were dedicated entirely to arcade games/photo booths/UFO Crane Catchers. It’s a place every otaku should visit once in their life, maybe twice if you want to score some limited edition stuff :P .

AS in Tokyo

Haha, I won’t ever get a chance to post anime reviews with trips like this :P . So I’m in Tokyo right now and will be spending the time here going to Akiba and going to different tourist spots in the Eastern Japan. So I’ll see you in a few days :P . Any suggestions to where I should visit while I’m here? I’m using the JR EAST railway just to let you know ^^.

Edit: In case any of you were wondering I am ok.  There was an incident in Akihabara today (Sunday) that did not end well; I was there for the aftermath of the incident.  I just heard what had happened on the news, very sad.

Disneyland 08

Disney 08

Look closely at the picture and you will know why I made it the way it is ;p.

Disneyland was pretty fun, for I was able to hang out with my girlfriend the whole time ^^. We were able to go on practically all the rides that were up in both Disneyland and California Adventure Park (part of Disneyland). Some of the rides like Screamin’ (best at night ^^), Grizzly River Run (good during the day when you can dry off after the ride), Indiana Jones Adventure (anytime), and Space Mountain (anytime) were so much fun that we went on each ride at least six times xD. We were able to get fast passes to each so we stood in line for each ride between 10-30 minutes (usually in between), compared to the usual wait time of 30 minutes to an hour (2 hours for Grizzly O_O). The food was good, but expensive, it is Disneyland after all xD. The shows were pretty good, I liked Aladdin, the fireworks show, and Fantasmic.

Fanime 2008

Fanime 2008

Well I took a very long vacation (8 days away from my computer xD) though it felt longer than 8 days ^^. One thing I visited while in California was Fanime in San Jose. I’ve never been to another anime convention besides the local anime convention where I live so this was going to be interesting. It was a different experience being a “con-goer” rather than a “volunteer.” As a volunteer, I would need to keep “moving around to make sure things get done” so just “moving around” was nice. There were lots of different things I noticed while I was there, even if I was only there for five hours total :P .
