Photowalk 25.08.2010 – Manga Edition

I had to do some stuff in Friedberg today nothing special but since I want to keep these photowalk blogs up and going I took a few snaps from today.

This is the train station in Friedberg, I like how it looks.

For such a small city like Friedberg their train station has quite alot of tracks.

Inside the train station we decided to check out the magazine stands and browsed a bit through the manga section, yes it became quite standard/mainstream in Germany so that almost every
magazine / newspaper shop has mangas now.

This one right here is like a free preview copy for you to grab, its like a taste test for the newest mangas released. I also like the dinosaur character “Gon” that some of you guys might remember
from Tekken 3 ;).

A recommendation from a friend of mine who knows the Anime “Highschool of the Dead”.

I thought this book looked interesting since its about japanese popculture a topic that I am into alot, there is alot of stuff in this book that I remember from my last few trips to Tokyo and some
who have been there might recognize alot of it too.

Tokyo Clash on Amazon.de for 14,95 Euro

Passmo or Suica card do you still have yours from your Japan trip? I still carry mine around every day lol I left it in my wallet it also still works after I have been using it every year when I am in Tokyo.

4926273687 48f76b9d41 z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

A motorcycle designed like a toilet or like a bullet train? Or the toilet designed like a bullet train? huh?

4926868644 98e8a1263d z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

Some more regular home appliances that look “extremely futuristic”.

4926868768 f074396a81 z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

Everyone who has been in Tokyo remembers the toilets and those implemented bathroom sinks on top of the toilets, always thought that was a pretty neat idea but theres no place to put some soap next to it.

4926274285 06989fcbdc z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

I think the left looks like a “Donki” or “Don Quixote/Don Quijote” its a multi level department kind of store with almost everything you need or dont need in your daily life in Tokyo, make sure to visit one of those when you are in Tokyo you will recognize them by a big sign with a blue penguin on top in a weird costume lol. Heres also a pretty cool flickr group dedicated just to “Donki”.

There are still some old style cinemas in Friedberg, with all those multiplexes dominating the cinema scene its kinda nice to see one of those still up and running.
Btw. I head that new movie by M. Night Shyamalan sucks (like his last few movies too? whats wrong thought he made good movies once)

4926869364 e250fae307 z Photowalk 25.08.2010   Manga Edition

I have this tradition that everytime I have to go to Friedberg I drive by the local Burger King on the way back lol this time I was joined by Stefan for some good “health food”.

Oppai Maid Pudding from Akihabara

Hey everyone,
bought this in Akihabara the other day and brought it back to Germany decided to give it a try today, check it out.

 Oppai Maid Pudding from Akihabara

I couldnt really read what it says on the cover but I liked the packaging, nor could I guess how it will look if I open it. But I kind off had an idea…

Tadaa!

 Oppai Maid Pudding from Akihabara

Nice way of presenting two nice looking pudding oppai huh? ^^;

Oh well about the taste I expected something more “milky” and “vanilla-ish” but it tastes like some kind of soda pop / ramune which I find odd for pudding, therefor it doesnt go that well with coffee or tea in my opinion.

Anyways I’m enjoying my afternoon oppai now cheers!.

Tokyo #1

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
