I was in Kichijoji location of Yodabashi camera just wandering around during my lunch break. In the Toky section i found the new Azazu Nakano figure from K-ON!! Shes a chibi version with tons of add ons. I wanted to buy it right then but 3300 yen out of my pocket at the moment isnt such a good idea. BUDGET BUDGET BUDGET! When i do get the extra cash i definately want to pick this one up.

I went to explore Asagaya station 2 weeks ago. Even though it is one station away fro me, i never felt like stopping by there. In wandering some of the back streets near the station i found a lot of bars and small live houses. Of course there was bound to be odd sinage. Two of my faves were "Tom CoRllins" & "Beer, food, spirits & CAT...?"

FREE TIME: Off to Yokohama

Posted by atomicboyx On 0 comments

A few weeks ago i headed down to Yokohama for the first time. Even though i have lived in japan over a year and a half i had not had a chance to get down there to enjoy it. When we got there we were starving, luckily there are a million chinese resturants. Many of them offer tabehoudai, which is all you can eat. Usually thos type of places have a time limit of 60-90 minutes but the one we found had no time limit. Unfortunatly we ordered way too much and actually had to request to cancel some of the last orders becuase it hurt just to breathe. After we strolled around to the water front to watch the sunset.
