What it's like living in the future. July 8, 2011 in Uncategorized. 8220;Welcome Back, Master” is generally the first thing you will hear when you walk into a Maid Cafe. In Japan. A maid cafe is exactly as it sounds, it’s a type of cosplay cafe in which the servers are dressed in maid costumes and wait on you hand and foot. I must admit, they are pretty fun. Usually on their websites you can browse the different maids and stuff like that, so I chose to go to CCOcha. Last Night's Party.

What it's like living in the future. Whatever, It’s Pretty. June 29, 2011 in Uncategorized. As part of my day trip to Hiroshima, a very popular attraction (and a must visit if you go to Hiroshima) is Itsukushima Island. No one calls it Itsukushima Island, it’s referred to as Miyajima. The main attraction here is that giant. Gate in the picture above. It is part of the Itsukushima Shrine. Three views of Japan) meaning it is one of the three most scenic and beautiful views in Japan.

What it's like living in the future. July 3, 2011 in Uncategorized. Spent a beautiful day with the host family in Shiga prefecture (same place as Biwa Lake and the barbecue from an old post). Aside from Biwako (which I discovered is the largest body of inland water in Japan; it is very pretty), one of the attractions is Hikone Castle. There is also a nice observatory point where you can get some pretty good views of Hikone City/Shiga:. Overall, it was a good was to spend the day, and Shiga is a beautiful...

June 24, 2011 in Uncategorized. 1 These are a set of commercials. 2 This is Ninja-ale, a play on words of gingerale (because in Japanese ginger-ale is Ginga-ale since they don’t have an -er sound), and you can only find it in Mie (refer to post “The Holiest Site) because thats where an old ninja town used to be. It’s basically just a sweeter version of ginger ale. I gotta give them credit, I wish we had half as much litter as we actually do. Weird Japanese discovery: ...

The rain was only a problem when I went to Umeda Sky Tower. The real reason I went to Osaka was to go to the Umeda Sky Building, which is one of 20 some odd towers across different cities in Japan, such as Kyoto Tower and Tokyo Tower. Yep, you don’t have to tip here. Song of the day: Rick Ross – Hustlin’. Rick Ross is da Boss son!

Got to spend some time in Osaka because I was going to an Asian Kung-Fu Generation concert, so if you have to go anyways, why not spend the day there and explore? Osaka is pretty much mini-Tokyo; it’s just as historic, and the entire city is set up in specific districts for your needs, ie: Den-Den Town. The main reason for going to Osaka though was to see Asian Kung-Fu Generation. From Korea) and Nada Surf. You a...
