Tokyo Day 5
For the full album go here. I got food poisoning so I had to sleep late, but the guys went out to Kawasaki for the fertility.. er, cock festival. I’ll have to get some pictures from Kevin for that.
Kawasaki.
Games are everywhere. I love it.
Not content with one cup. they invented… JUMBO ONE CUP.
The temple at Kawasaki.
Unbelievably gorgeous.
The crew at the temple.
Temple cat keeps evil spirits from emerging from the pit of despair.
Everyone grabbed a cup of water before heading into the temple.
Buddhist cemetary.
Beware gaijin who like to steal bags! Yuzo wasn’t able to get away.
If you can explain this, I’ll give you a dollar.
This dude had a very weird jacket.
Graffiti in the japanese-style toilet. Not on the walls, but the handlebars.
It’s a tip toilet! The green money slots actually thanked you for tipping.
Furries? Kind of?
Harajuku was freaking crazy. Walking anywhere was almost impossible.
Awww, so cute.
Pink latte is very, very pink.
My ducks. Store them. Harajuku has lots of very weird signage.
Including this one. I’ll take pictures of whatever I want, thank you very much.
These slippers freaking rule.
Engrish is always fun.
I like spending time with my favorite goods too. This stuff is all from a 100 yen shop.
I bought this plant for my room. I put it in a one cup. I’ll get pics later.
I think Richard is actually Bistro Bear. He is cleverly refined, and very stylish and kind.
This ad for a rat trap cracked me up.
Greetings from the future. This is me in Shinjuku, waiting for the train home.
Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara is the greatest nerd store ever. Yes, that’s a girl dressed as a maid, selling laptops.
Nine floors of nerdy goodness.
These are ALL models. Gundams, trains, you name it.
Doesn’t everyone need one of these for their coffee table?
More aisles of models.
Look at all these DS games that will never make it to the US.
Goddamnit. I want to play the Professor Layton sequel so badly. I wish I could read Kanji.
The video game section of Yodobashi Camera
SO MANY CAPSULE MACHINES.
These “kid” games crack me up. No one plays them except squatting adults.
Tamagotchi is alive and well here, but they never seem to make it to the US.
What do you need a model of an ass for? Just to caress when you feel lonely?
These are the coolest things in the whole world. Keychains that play the theme songs for JR train stations. I bought three of them. For those of you who don’t know, the JR train station songs are freaking awesome. They sound like RPGs.
This homeless guy takes off his shoes to sit on his cardboard mat. Most respect.
“Harajuku was freaking crazy. Walking anywhere was almost impossible.”
Why not just have Range walk point? Or would the girls mobbing to check out the big gaijin slow things down more?
Okay, Yodobashi Camera makes Fry’s Electronics look like a 7-11.
Ah, now the Gwen Stefani song “Harajuku Girls” makes some kind of sense.
Oh, I guess the song is actually called “Harajuku Lovers”.
ok, i confess to wanting know more about the “festival’. I’m sure i’m not the only one…
“This vehicle is done to weaken an air conditioner”. Hmm, maybe they were trying to say something along the lines of, “this vehicle has a weak air conditioner”?
