Japan Day 3:

Woke up at 2pm and quickly got dressed and ready to go out. By 2:30 I was walking to the train station and quickly figured out how to take a subway across the city. The goal of today was to go to Akihabara and see as many cute school girls as possible. Akihabara is the electronic and videogame nerd center of tokyo. Arriving in akihabra we decided to keep track of how many school girls each of us had seen and have a little competition. We had only seen one from the day before and danny had spotted her, so he started with the first point. Andy forgot his glasses and wasnt able to see anyone today so it was just me versus danny. Right out of the train station, danny spots two girls in sailor outifts and jumps up to 3 points.

We first go to visit booktown where the most books are for sale in tokyo. The first store we went into looked like a book shop, but as we entered we realized it was a porn shop. Looking around a bit we decided that the whole section of town was just a bunch of porn shops. We also werent seeing anymore schoolgirls so we headed to musictown. At musictown I was interested in buying a trumpet so I went to look for one. Trumpet prices are skyhigh. Ukeleles cost 1500 US dollars, and trumpets are about 5000. Ridiculous. So i ended up not buying a trumpet.

Deciding musictown was lame, we headed to the electronics district and the main reason that we came to akihabara. In the electronics district I spotted at first 3 school girls and ended up tieing with danny. Then I spotted two more wearing very slutty outfits but realized that they were being filmed for porn. Since they were just actresses, I didnt get the points for that one and no one claimed it. We entered into a sword shop and realized it was a front for a child pornography store. I didnt realize that anyone took pictures of 8 year olds in swimsuits and sold it. Ridiculous.

We quickly left, feeling like scum and went to a video game store. This store had a bunch of cool stuff but everything was in japanese and I didnt want to buy a videogame in japanese, so I didnt. Amazing.

Akihabara was overrated and we left to go back to the hotel. Arriving back at the hotel, I spotted 5 more schoolgirls putting me at 9.

I love japanese food, I think I will get fat while I am here. In china I have no problem losing weight because the food sucks, but here I have been eating cheesecake with every meal :]
