Tokyo trip 2008 – Day 1

IMG_6809

Decided to start documenting this from day 1 (even thought it’s Day 3 already. I am slow ^^;)

<Picture Intensive Post!>

Arrived at Narita Airport around 7 in the morning where we got fingerprinted and have a mugshot taken as part of the immigration process before getting on board the train on the Keisei line that head towards Asakusa, where our hostel (K’s House) is.

We met a nice ojisan and his family who had just visited Thailand and managed to make some small talk. It’s interesting as during my first few times there, something like this has never happened before. Oh! His daughter is hot ^^;

Upon reaching Asakusa, we managed our way to K’s House (After getting lost for 15 minutes), dropped our luggage and paid the hostel fees before heading down to Akihabara (de facto place) to meet up with 0ne who’s in Tokyo for a short vacation.

^ Gamers, Konata and Kodomo no Jikan.. I sense a loli fetish there

Once there, we met up several others, where we also visited Akihabara’s UDX where Tokyo Anime Center is.

A recording studio where the voices of 3D girls gets well… recorded and used for anime and ero-anime voices.

Life-sized dolls (manniquins). You have a 1:1 Rei there which double says he will grab it home once he figures a way to perform ninjistsu and gain teleportation ability.

Some free goodies for you to take home and give as souvenirs to your friends.

0ne and double caught in the act of trying to take upskirt pictures of a girl. when she tried to pick up something from the floor. Check out their expression!

Heading towards Ikebokuro via the Yamanote Line. The poster girl on the train is cute.

IMG_6785

The EOS Kiss (Rebel XSi) advertisement in Japan.

IMG_6788

Ikebokuro. Totally different from Akihabara. School girls hang out here so you might want to check it out if you’re into them ^^

IMG_6792

This is apparently the Butler’s Cafe in Otome Road. We didn’t enter as it was rather crowded and had no interest in butlers.

IMG_6794

There were lots of Sakura trees along Otome Road as well. And it’s my first time actually seeing it in person.

IMG_6802

There is a mini-park of sorts just on the opposite of Lashinbang and the whole stretch of Otome Road. Certainly took our time admiring the trees.

IMG_6808

Heading back to Akihabara to meet up with don777 to visit a maid cafe. Who is the girl on the wall.. she’s just too cute ^^;

But just outside the station, there was already a horde of guys and girls surrounding 4 western girls donned in meido costumes. Many started to snap away.

IMG_6813

IMG_6811

A little different from the usual maids in Akihabara. Weird isn’t it?

IMG_6821

The famous Toranoana where I bought many ero-books for drawing references.

IMG_6823

Cos-cha, a famous maid cafe which we visited. It’s located in the alleys of Akihabara so you do have to explore around in order to find it.

IMG_6824

Secretly taken of course. The meido-chan’s skirt is real short!

IMG_6827

Some food in a can for you. Has Yakitori, Oden varieties.

IMG_6829

IMG_6830

The famous Tenga. This one apparentely has unlimited usages.

IMG_6832

0ne says that this building sells uniforms for S & Ms.

IMG_6833

IMG_6834

Which I believe so as well.

IMG_6850

We then ended the day with visiting Egg Farm where we gathered with the other regulars of it. Great experience as I used a lot of Japanese for the first time. It was really fun trying to explain stuffs as well.

This article has been a rather photo intensive and long ^^; There will be more of these coming up as I cover the rest of the days. Do let me know if I can further improve it or if you have things you would like me to document (If possible). Now, I need to rush out to meet someone important… (It’s Day 3 remember?)

And here’s the picture of the meido-chan I promised to let you guys see ^^;

    On last Sunday, Akihabara is too crowded since It’s in the midst of spring school holidays[Haruyasumi].

    I hope you enjoy your Haruyasumi holiday trip.

    P.S.
    You’re lucky to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo… It’s very short time to see them…

    You may also want to consider features like water
    proof material and slash proof straps for bags. Most owners of any luggage set actually
    use them infrequently. You can push the handle back into the rugged,
    recessed “well” when you’re not using it.

    And to lose weight fast and effectively four aspects of life should be changed: what to eat, how to eat, behavior and activity level.
    If you follow them, they can make a huge difference in your weight,
    how you look in your clothes and how you feel about yourself.

    Here’s another question, would you order the same food you order in the drive-thru that you would order if you had to park and walking into the
    restaurant, order in person.

    If your overall goal is to work with the home repair service provider with the lowest bid, the quality
    of the job will likely be compromised and you may have to work with a different furniture
    adjustment team to fix the damage. Though, this kind of furniture style was in vogue during the 17th and 18th century, but if late it has gained immense popularity.
    There are many innovative crib designs available that can be altered to beds as the child grows.

    So verschrieen Gaming auch hingestellt wird, so ist durch psychologische Tests bewiesen, dass das Daddeln, eine gewisse Reife des Gamers vorausgesetzt,
    förderlich für die Stressbewältigungskapazität des Gamers
    ist. Beim Spielen lernt der Spielende ohne Stress in erhöhter Frequenz
    zu Reagieren und seine Prioritäten zu gewichten. Einige Games vermitteln darüber hinaus
    noch Grundkenntnisse über Management und fördern logisches Denken. Auch
    die verrissenen Multiplayer Games können doch öfters den an den Haaren herbeigezogenen Effekt der Vereinsamung} aufhalten. Der
    Gamer kann zwar schon so manchen unfreundlichen Menschen begegnen,
    allerdings findet der Spielende häufig genau in seinem Favoriten Gleichgesinnte.

    Alles in allem: daddeln ist das Beste überhaupt! Ungeachtet des Spiels und der Plattform,
    Zocken ist Kultur.
