Holy Crap! Why can't we have a place like this in toronto! So we went to Akihabara today, and all i can say is I am in heaven! A whole city district dedicated to three things; Toys, Maid Cafes (Weird Concept and didn't go), and Electronics! Seriously, why couldn't we have something like this in Toronto? The day kicked off with meeting with Jessie and her friends. I must admit it was weird seeing someone I know in Toronto, but it was comforting to meet someone familiar and kinda knew Japan. She is staying here for school, so I asked her to meet up with us. We didn't hang out together that long because we wanted to check out a few places and figured it be better if we split up. She wanted to go to ... read more

Well the day of the real reason I cam to Tokyo, The Tokyo Game Show! Lemme tell you it was awesome! Didn't get to play as many games as I wanted to but the experience was just mind blowing! I got to check out so many new and upcoming games and meet developers all over the world. The displays were phenomenal. I also realized I should have applied for the business days if i wanted to stand a chance playing alot of the demos. The demos i got to check out and play were: Heavy Rain, Metal Gear Solid Peacewalkers (I have the demo on my psp! Hurray!), Winning Eleven 2010, and the new DBZ Game. Most line ups for trying the game were about 3 hours wait and by the time we got to the ... read more

So today we went to Roppongi. Very nice place and very interesting, we went to some TV Station, Ahiba i think. But anyways outside was a massive pikachu in which i think they were promoting the new pokemon game coming out. We did some walking and passed a russian embassy and then heading all the way back. I uploaded a bunch of photos to show you guys. Still haven't put any captions for them but yea. Anyways, tomorrow is the big game show and gotta be up bright and early for that. One last note, at T.G.I. Fridays, Tim tried to tip the waitress and I was about 90 percent sure tipping was insulting, but Tim tried. We walked away and guess what? I got stopped by the waitresses and she handed back the change. So ... read more

so instead of calling the lobby and making a fool out of ourselves. Tim found out how the power works. Seems you have to put your hotel card in this slot. Wtf! img=http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs269.snc1/9628_285143320180_532460180_9070691_7370607_n.jpg... read more

Alright guys, after a long trip and then a long bus ride to the hotel I have finally arrived. The funny thing is there is no power on half of the room, gotta get that fixed. LOL. A washroom with no lights is pretty tough to use. I will write more as soon as i get myself established and prepared, maybe some rest. Talk to you guys soon... read more
