What sort of wizardry makes it so that their ocean water is blue?!
Japan has like a million golf courses outside of Tokyo. I seriously flew over like 150 holes before I got to Narita.
My first meal in Japan: Yakitori. Pictured up front are Quail Egg and Lotus Root. Both were delicious. I also ate a crapload of internal organs that I don't even remember.
This is how yakitori gets done. Giant flames.
BBQ'd pigs foot. Had the consistency of wet paper towel.
I walked around the Shibuya area a bunch on my first night. Here's a picture. I found a great little bar that had pints of Guinness for $9.50. Ouch.
Shibuya station is pretty busy fyi.
I also walked around Shibuya the next morning. Here's some more pictures.
A delicious Unagi meal.
The British embassy. Technically I went to two countries on my trip!
Japan has a lot of buildings. For real.
The Palace. The prince and princess still live here though they're mostly figureheads.
Palace gate.
Turn around 180 from the last picture and this was the view.
More Toyko.
Electric City. Every store is food, manga or electronics.
The main street in Harajuku. It definitely is a fashion Mecca of Tokyo but girls don't really dress like Gwen Stefani's posse does. I probably saw all of 8 girls in two days walking around Harajuku with the balls to dress that dumb.
These were in my soup. Cthulhu is pissed that Japan is eating his kids.
The view of Tokyo from the top of the hotel I stayed at. That's Tokyo Tower.
Shibuya Station from a bird's eye view.
A giant Pac Man outside an area with a bunch of arcades and love hotels. A love hotel is exactly what it sounds like. See, Japanese houses are small so a 16 year old kid can't bone his girlfriend without his parents hearing. So you go to a love hotel, put money into a machine and get a key. You don't even have to see a human being. Anonymous locales for fuckin. Rad.
Think the NYC subway lines are confusing?
Sunrise over Tokyo.
You're Never Too Far From Home
Japanese 7-11s were awesome. They had a buttload of food to buy and it was the only place I could buy milk.
Yep.
