    Back from Japan

    So I'm back. Whoopers. Wanted to stay longer. The food is great over there. Did wonders for my stomach and my weight. I really liked living there. But I'm back, so at least I have a computer. Still wish I could buy the Shounen Jump every monday though... gonna miss reading Gintama every week.

    Anyway, since I don't know what else to write, I'll go and post a few images. Of course I have more photos than that but I'm lazy so that's all you get.

    WD's Japan gallery

    That link should work. If not, I'll try posting directly....

    Ooh, I so japanese. Victory pose needed if I not wanted to look gaijin!

    And I otaku-sized the young boy. He transformed into a Naruto fan. It was scary, he added "Da ttebayo" to every phrase.

    Edit - didn't have to go after all, so...

    Yeah, the boy liked to pose as Ultraman. For some reason, even though its old as hell, Ultraman is a BIG hit among young boys in Japan... so he posed as him a lot. Then he discovered Naruto (I watched it every wednesday after school) and he started posing all ninja... he got his mother to buy him a Konoha headband and so he'd wear it along with his bright orange pajamas around the house, screaming stuff like "Ore wa Naruto dattebayo!" and so forth... it was cute. He got really scared during that filler in which some guy pulls his heart out...

    I couldn't wear the kimono to any event 'cause it was fucking raining during the week I could wear it... a good-quality kimono is around 3,000 dollars, so needless to say I couldn't afford one. That one is my host mother's sister's kimono, supposedly a special one you wear for really special ocassions... such as weddings (when you aren't the one getting married, of course) and your 20 year old birthday, 'cause that's when you start being an adult in Japan.

    I became 20 years old while being there, so they allowed me to wear it ^_^

    Looking great as usual, nice views you managed to capture. *insert generic anime fanboy envy here*

    Also, since you're back, you better start posting like crazy.
    I currently feel an extreme lack of WD in my heart, so fill the bloody void!

    Back from Japan

    I was there for three months - two and a half studying, the rest traveling. Lived in Tokyo (best city ever) and visited Nagoya, Kyoto and Nara. I didn't bring any of you anything because I hate you all, so there.

    Er, anyway, Tokyo is divided into smaller places... Akihabara really really is every fan's heaven. It has everything... I even found a three-story building dedicated only to anime and videogame soundtracks... I wish I could have stayed so much longer.

    I might scan some other photos lately... if I feel like it... and say Terra, deary, I think I said I'd send you some pics you lost or something?

    Japan's loss, our gain [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Good to see you back, WD.

    Very nice photo gallery. Did you suffer any reverse culture shock when you got back home?
