I'm gone a day and you thought I forgot!?? 

Train station...Maddd clean! No rats, no fills, no one-liners, no stickers, NADA!

Today Dan and I went on a journey  to akihabara..Things are crazzy there. It's all this crazy technology and mad arcades. Arcades are SERIOUS in Japan. Serious meaning dudes will wait in line to play games. LINES! when they loose they go to the end of the line to play again. It's a little wild..The gamers here are no joke. There was this one game in particular where all the characters are like little girls who ride ponies and shit and there are only two of these games in the whole arcade and they place them back to back so the guys can play against each other. The part that Dan and I were dying over is that (mind you this is the game that like 10 guys were lined up to play) when one side looses he has to walk past the guy who beat him, but neither of them look at each other or say anything to each other. no good game, no pat on the butt, nothing. It's like this weird walk of shame...anyway, the video doesn't do it justice. It was a mad house...more descriptions coming...

This first image is Tokyo at night...it's a fast city...

Around the crib..The last picture is me on the balcony of our apt. The buildings are some of what you can see when you're outside..

Whats good! Greetings from Tokyo. Shit is so dope!! Pardon my language, but there is no other phrase that I can use to truly express to you the excitement I have in my mind and body. Dan and I touched down after a grueling 15 hour flight, only to beast through the city by train for another two hours (with our luggage mind you-- a good hundred pounds each). People were looking at us like we were fuckingggg crazy, but we had to do what we had to do in order to get to our apt. We get on the train and this dude just starts talking to us. He wasn't a crazy man, just a student about 20 years old who had just gotten back to Tokyo from traveling around Europe. He was really cool. I was a worn out from the trip, but Dan was revamped and excited and kept this guys attention for a good hour. I thought I might pass out and drool on the floor of the train but I managed to keep my cool. It was good having Dan with me, he really got the ball rolling, got directions to the hotel, found the route and set the pace. If I was on my own I'd probly still be at the airport right now. Anyway, this guy rode the train with us for a while and even got off at the same stop we did. To his dismay he realized that he had left a bag of his on the train and scampered off to try and salvage it. We felt bad, he was  nice guy. We got to the apt, unpacked and ran to get some food. We ate at a little noodle hut in the area. It wasn't anything too special, and the places on St. Marks are probably a little better. We are in a bit of a touristy area so in order to get to the real good eats we will have to travel around a bit. Things are good here. 

Peace

Here are a few goodies...our first few hours in tokyo
