poof. i'm back from japan.. just to let everyone know. ;)

it was a very exciting place to be, even at the end of winter. I missed the Tokyo anime fair by ~2 weeks (what could i do? spring break was in march, not february!) but there was still a ton of cool things to see and do.

i'll be putting up a photo gallery on my own personal space on another server (prolly my university's personal server), and providing a link for any interested individuals. it's nothing spectacular.. only ~100 pictures of parts of japan in the dead of late winter. everything's brown and grey.. :/

I picked up ~$1000 in anime and video game gear (including that import PS2 that i've been interested in picking up) and quite a few pounds of manga (~60lbs of the stuff... mostly phonebook manga 'cause i'm cheap like that.)

But all in all, I had a great time. The place was a little confusing the first night, but after that we got into the swing of things and had almost no trouble navigating around tokyo.

"I picked up ~$1000 in anime and video game gear"

Hopefully you picked up Dragon Warrior 4 for PS1, as it's been cancelled here. ;-;

GATSU: nope, missed DQ4. :( Didn't realize it wasn't coming out in America anymore. :(

this is, more or less, what i got from japan:

Phonebook Manga (9 of 'em)
Tankoban (or however it's spelled... 14 of'em)
1 Artbook (Sister Princess)
11 Anime DVDs (including kodocha 1-5, whee.)
Playstation 2
Playstation 2 DVD Remote
Dance Dance Revolution 5th Mix
Bug Bug (A Japanese Bishoujo Game review magazine H_H)


anyways... here's my 80 pics from japan.. with a few descriptions (see the bottom of the page):

enjoy. i'm the guy with the uber-bad hair in the 2nd row, 3rd picture.

my hair is *not* really that bad normally. really! it's just ... well, it was a 13 hour flight and a 1 hour train ride (keisei, whee!) and.. well, 14 hours of sitting does things to hair!

my beard, however, is always that bad. ;)
