Ohayou Gozaimasu!
sup yall! Yea man.... that NY HEAT WAVE WAS FRIGGIN RETARDED!!!, i live in South
Florida where its hot all the damn time...... but that heat wave was serious! lol. But
yea, I was only in NY for like a day and a half. I'm in Japan now.
Came in yesterday. Damn near everyone here in Tokyo speaks english (which is cool), and
its not that hard to get around. I must say, this is by far the cleanest place i've ever
been to. The streets are clean, the people are super nice, the bathrooms are maaad clean.
And the food..... FOR ONLY 250 YEN YOU CAN GET A FULL ON MEAL, and be completely satisfied
:-).
I'm not exactly sure all of the places we are going, everyone's just throwing it out there
as we go. I do know that we are going to Shibuya today, so I'll give you the updates on
that hopefully later tonight or tomorrow.
Anyhow, here are the pics :-) Enjoy!

good morning everyone : ). Its at 8 a.m. over here. Its so cool, they have the longest
days over here, the sun rises at like 5am and sets at 7pm.
Anyhow, yesterday, we went touring through Shibuya. Checked out some of the phone stores
over there, walked the famous Shibuya Crosswalk, say the Tokyu building (the one in F&F
where theres a soccer field on the roof). Checked out the arcades..... THERE'S A LOT OF
CASINOS HERE!!!! :shock:, also checked out the Audi Showroom.
I am freakin loving this place! And still have well over a week to go! Til' next time,
Sayonara!
Back at the Sakura Hostel
In Shibuya - very wet day
MGS4 - Out Today
Domo-kun!!!
I kept getting nose bleeds looking at all of the beautiful japanese women out here
Sexiest looking Toyota ever!

Koniichiwa! its like 5:50pm over here. We didn't do anything today. Everyone was catching
up on their sleep (except for me), because they all went to Roppongi last night to check
out the night life. They said its very different compared to american clubs, because no
one grinds in the clubs and everyone does the same dance (like the parra-parra thing).
THey were also approached by older ladies asking to give them "Massages with Happy
Endings", :laugh:
Anyhow, yesterday we all went to Roppongi and Shinjuku. Checked out Tokyo Tower, Tokyo
Metro Government Building, Roppongi Hills (Japanese Rodeo Drive), Mori Tower, and stopped
at a few temples
Enjoy the photos, gonna go get some sushi! I'll be back later, sayonara.

hehe, thx for the comments!
I can tell you now, this definitely wont be my last time here!
As for the pollution thing, I see a few people walking around with masks on, but i guess
since I'm from the U.S., it doesn't really affect me. To be honest, i think the pollution
is A LOT less here than in the US.
My camera died out on me yesterday. Yesterday, we went to Shinjuku and checked out the
harijuku folks, lots of people out there in cosplay outfits, lol. We are going back there
before we leave Japan so I'll have those photos soon.
Here are some picks from today's coverage. Today we went to Odaiba to check out the
rainbow bridge, mega web, the museum of emerging science and innovation, venusfort mall
(unbelievable!) and a few others.
Here are the photos, take care. If i'm not mistaken, I think we are heading to Mt. Fuji
tomorrow. chow!

^ lol, thx Oh yea, we ate TONs of sushi and sashimi. Believe it or not, the McDonalds
in Japan tops any of the ones that I've been to here in the states. They've got shrimp
filet sandwiches and... SHACKA SHACKA CHICKEN!!!!! THE GREATEST THING TO EVER BE ON A
DOLLAR MENU........ and we dont even have it in the states......
I was actually gonna post those today, hehe.
here are some pix from the last dinner we had. We met a really cool guy at the hostel,
Gichang Lee, he served us up a MAD GOOD final feast.
From the pix, you'll notice that after 2 bottles of sake...... we were all in a loopy mood
and started acting a fool at the hostel, lol.
The next day..... our last day in Japan

most of the girls/cars we got on video, lol. We've got hours of DVDs at the house. I have a few more pix of the girls and stuff at home. I'll post those up when I get the chance, these were all grabbed from my other thread.
As for the cars, believe it or not, didnt see too many hooked up cars out there at all. The only night that I saw the place swarmed with them was when we were in Electric Town. I'll post them up when I get home.
To my knowledge, from what people told me, the real racing scene was on the mainland, in Akina and Akagi. People told me that over there, people were like drift nuts on the mountain passes, lol.
