Shibuya City Hotel

... Shun, and Val from Duel Jewel. Everyone except Keiyuh was in yukatas. Keiyuh cosplayed Haruhi Suzumiya. As shocked as I (and everyone else) was, I thought he looked really cute. He introduced their crossover group as “MonHan” (short for Monster Hunter, a popular video game) and said Yuhra was drunk. After one song, he decided to change for fear of indecency, leaving the other guys to fend for themselves. They felt awkward and ...

... speaking ability, the guy, for some reason or another, understood that a little too well and thought it was just hilarious. In his defense, we also thought it was pretty funny, but not funny enough to stick around, for we fled moments later when he wasn`t looking.

After that, we were somewhat at a loss of where to go. I bought a belt and that was pretty much all I needed in life. So we checked the map, wandered in an attempt to ...

... the building was huge! There were tons of people and lots of kiosks, but not too many were actually labled, and there were signs at the end of every one that had every airport on them, we saw United Airlines in front of so many of the kiosks (which weren't United Airlines at all). We finally found where we were supposed to check-in, but they weren't open until 12:30pm, so we had a bit of a wait. At least there were chairs nearby. Our flight was the only flight to ...

... Mouse. Mickey was on the outside, Mickey was on the floors, the walls and the ceiling of the interior, the windows were the shape of a Mickey Mouse head and even the grab handles dangling from the ceiling were in the shape of a Mickey Mouse head. We got off the stupid monorail at the Disney Sea gates after a 5 minute journey. We waltzed straight through the turnstiles as we already had our tickets from yesterday. The first ...

... von Tokio. Als wir da waren, hat sich schnell raus gestellt, dass es nicht so einfach war. Wir haben ständig Ausschau nach einem außergewöhnlichen Gebäuden gehalten, denn das war ein Merkmal von solchen Hotels. Die Fassaden von manchen Hotels sehen wie kleine Schlösser oder Burgen aus und sie tragen außergewöhnliche, meist in Lateinschrift geschriebene Namen, wie Fantasia, Luxeria, Proud usw. Als wie beinahe schon aufgeben wollten ...

November 18, 2007 So right now we are watching Lucy's movie, "The Demon - 666." Lucy plays a nun. It's a horror picture. It should be called a "horrible movie." It's at least as bad as my "Malibu Spring Break." Really horrible but it's always fun to see friends in a movie. Her career has grown since then. She has done several episodes of "Women's Murder Club" and it's a "real show" starring Angie Harmon. She has really enjoyed working on the show, both as medical consultant and the ...

... as I walked from the station to the arena I passed loads of sumo wrestlers all in the biggest kimonos you have seen (although you wouldn't want to point it out to these mountains of men) so by the time I got to the ticket office I was ready to go go go! Only to find that the place was sold out!!! Grrrrrrr I could have cried but calmly I turned round and vowing to hang the receptionist from the nearest lamppost I made a rather sad and exhausted trip back to the hotel ...

... down some food and head to Tokyo Dome, to watch�E. BASEBALL!!!!!! It was absolutely AWESOME. I got there on my own not really knowing what I was doing and ticketless but determined to get inside as it was the US MLB All Star team playing against the best of the Japan league in a USA vs Japan 7 game All-star Series. The ticket lady presumed I wanted to sit in the USA end to which I quickly contradicted and paid a little more for good seats. I've loved baseball (big ...

... the spine and between the bouncy cushions. Of course transporting one of these back to New York might be a bit of a pain (not to mention finding one-I wonder what the Asian equivalent of Home Depot is?). I've done a little research (Thanks World Toilet Organization), and apparently there's a company in Florida that imports them from Hangzhou, China. The Hangzhouese, fine craftsmen all.

... best-haunted house that I have ever been in. I would just be walking through the house and all of a sudden an actor would jump out and scare me. For those of you wondering, I did not run away in terror never to return again. Also, there was an attraction called the Ice House. This was a building with a temperature below freezing, therefore, that was a way to take a break from the tremendous heat. Next, the water park kept us cool the most in the ...
