Hey Guys this is my first update from Tokyo Japan.
I arrived sound and safe I survived the two earthquakes and the typhoon the only thing I have to struggle with right now is the heat and humidity plus a little jetlag but thats fine.
The first night I really only chilled out at the hostel after easily 25 hours of travelling I was done for that day and slept until the second earthquake hit around 4am, it felt like someone was shaking me in my bed telling me to wake up!.
Yesterday I met up with two friends who coincedently also went to Tokyo just a week before, we met up in Shinjuku.. not a really good meeting place because it has so many exits we agreed to meet in front of Odakyu it took a while for them to find me or me to find them since we both dont have working cellphones here in Tokyo :/.
Eventually we met up and since my friends are huge fans of Anime and Manga I told them we should check out Nakano Broadway, a place that has alot of anime related shops. Havent been there before but it was a huge place stuffed to the rim with anime stuff so if you are into that you can go there by taking the Chuou line to Nakana from Shinjuku and its right behind the station the anime stuff starts at the 2nd floor.
I recorded alot of video material for my little japan documentary we also tried to get some reaction shots of ourselfs eating Natto and drinking Cola Shock LOL. Yeah good times….
The night ended in Shibuya where we just went to some overpriced wannabe punk bar with nice ambiente at least. I enjoyed a few beers with my friends and went to a crazy Karaoke session afterwards we decided to hit a manga kissa to chill out until 8am or so since both of our hostels have curfews LOL, good thing that the one that I’m going to next doesnt.
Sorry for no pictures (yet) but I’m mostly recording video and you will get to see these too once I edited everything which takes some time. I also planned a few photowalks I brought my dslr along but forgot my Lomo LCA (damn).
Anyways hope you enjoyed my first post from Tokyo!.
cheers,
Chris
