Hostel in Tokyo

So after the plan of staying at the chix house failed, we had to find another place to stay from now on. She's still picking us up at the airport.

We decided to go with this one: http://www.aizuya-inn.com/eindex.html

the staff looks friendly, the place is not too far from a subway and the price is pretty cheap. Hopefully we are gonna have a good time there. I will book this for 14 days Friday probably. I have about 2000-3000 spending range in Tokyo. The more i spend the more debts i have but when will i ever go back? Better have fun while I'm there.

First choice was Sakura Hostel. But they are all booked even if they have 4 locations. Crazy.
Second was this one found by pure luck

I will post my experience from there and coming back since they have internet!

have fun!

Risky Business

Here is an example of what we are trying to avoid.
Taken straight from Tokyotimes.org a great blog about fun and obscure facts about Japan





















For now everything is going well. Learning more and more each day. A nice Japanese girl gave me a French Tokyo Guide book straight from Japan. It's well made. The subway system scares me the most i think...

Just Incredible!

I was browsing the web today, trying to look for Tokyo pictures. I want to go there each day even more. I found this guy via ebay that led me to his FLICKR account.

The pictures in there are incredible! It's mind blowing how some pictures are taken or how they look. I hope that Mathieu, friend who's going to Tokyo with me, will take pictures like these. With the kind of equipment he's got, I think it's gonna be possible.

If you like his stuff and want to buy it, go to ebay and search for Shiodome. He has a shop and a deviant art account with prices.

Here is my favorite photograph. You have to click it to believe it.

Epic Post

Here is the boring first post that everyone makes about their blog saying "hey, i just made a new blog today"

Hey, I just made a new blog today!

This is gonna be used to track record of my trip to Japan, interest i have and things i want to whine about. Also things I steal from other blogs that i enjoy.

Leaving for Tokyo march 30.

I will try to post all the weirdest thing i find.

Let it begin!
