| 10:22am | Back to Tokyo and Gundam Expo | | | | With the three days and three nights of Kyoto over, it was time to head back to Tokyo once again where I will stay for the rest of my trip. There was only a few days till Comiket74 but there were some things to do beforehand that would surely keep me busy enough. Some of these things include mailing... |
| 5:03am | Return from the Land of Kawaii | | | | Just a quick post to say that I have returned from the Land of Kawaii (or in essence Japan). After a whole month of being in Japan everything back home seems so different. Heck it even feels like that my PC isn’t my PC. So now that I have returned I have a day or two before heading back to the... |
| 3:40pm | Kyoto Day 3 and the Golden Temple | | | | There is so much more that I want to see around Kyoto, but alas it was the final full day of us being in Kyoto. Due to a rather intense day of walking from Day 2, we decided to take it a little easier this time and the first place we headed to was Kinkakuji (or what is known as the Golden Temple). Hit... |
| 3:35pm | Kyoto Day 2, a Konata adventure, and 30,000 torii gates | | | | One of the things that I didn’t get to do in Kyoto last time I was here was head out to many of the wondrous locations that Kyoto is famous for. Day 2 of the Kyoto experience took us south towards Nara. So hit the jump to read on about my 2nd day in Kyoto. |
| 3:02pm | Kyoto Day 1 and a cow named Harue | | | | Traveling around Japan is probably one of the greatest things you could do when you’re here for a month. Being stuck in Tokyo does get boring after a while especially if you’ve been to some of the sites already. You’ve already read up on about my 3 days in Osaka, this time our EPIC... |
| 3:59pm | Comiket Loot Preview | | | | Just to let some of you readers know, the last few posts have been ones that I had wrote up about a week ago and I am actually in Tokyo right now. Anyway this post is just an update on the merchandise that I have bought for Comiket74 that had just past. This pile of loot is only a small portion of the... |
| 12:20am | The start of the Hatsune Miku fandom | | | | Hatsune Miku is a well known character and I have been a small fan of her’s for a while. However there hasn’t been a lot of merchandise available for online ordering so the fandom hasn’t grown all that much. However after visiting Ebisu-cho in Osaka, that has changed quite a bit. Now... |
| 1:26pm | Osaka Day 3 and Osaka Castle | | | | One of the things about coming to Osaka was to check out some of the sites, and one of the places I wanted to visit was Osaka Castle. This was our next place to stop by for Osaka as I really didn’t get time to plan out an itinerary for Osaka since I knew so little about it. Anyway hit the jump... |
| 3:05pm | Osaka Day 2 and my Da Capo fandom….again | | | | The second day of Osaka was certainly one of my more expensive days to date and for many reasons. For me one of the places I wanted to visit in Osaka was the main Volks store. The reason for me wanting to visit the main Volks store was that I wanted to see what dollfies they had available compared to... |
| 12:13am | Osaka Day 1 and eating fugu | | | | One of the places that I have always wanted to goto was Osaka, but unfortunately the last trip I didn’t have enough time. This time though, with an entire month to burn, I could fit in the time. Well 3 days and 3 nights to be exact. Though it does seem to be a rather short time to head to Osaka... |
| 8:46am | Summer Wonderfest 2008 Merchandise | | | | Now this is probably one of the post that many of you readers are looking forward to, my Summer Wonderfest 2008 merchandise purchases. If you have read my previous post about Wonderfest then you’ll know that I spent quite a bit, and as a group, I don’t think I’ve carried so much merchandise... |
| 2:14am | My Summer Wonderfest 2008 Experience | | | | One of the greatest things I consider about being an otaku is making a trip to Japan and living it up in terms of spending, eating and seeing the sites. Last time I got to goto Comiket69 and that was a surreal experience. This EPIC trip also includes Comiket74 but take that one extra step further. We... |
| 11:10pm | Japan Small Update | | | | Just a quick update that I am currently in Kyoto and the past few days I have been in Osaka with limited internet access. Here is some of the things to look forward to:Summer Wonderfest experienceGetting lost in OsakaDenden Town, Osaka’s answer to AkibaVisiting Osaka CastleComing close to death by... |
| 3:41pm | 15% of Akiba (and more beer) | | | | After a mediocre night worth of sleep (roughly 3 hours) The first place on the agenda is none other than the Holy Land of Otakuism, Akihabara. This probably comes as no surprise as I’m sure most people would hit up Akiba first just to see what kind of things there are. Personally for me I already... |
| 3:09pm | Arriving in Japan and full of beer | | | | It’s been a while since I stayed up for a number of days without sleep, and on Thursday night/Friday morning, I literally haven’t slept since Wednesday night. Packing took me a little while due to having to sort through a lot of things and having to find a lot of things to take along with... |
