Well hello there back for more I am guessing?
It is pretty late here but I am just blogging to keep everyone up to date on what happened today which was a blast! Well first off once I got off the plane it was sunny and illuminant and it was only around five in the morning and usually in Chicago for me it is still dark by that time >.<. So for me it was a real great change of pace and so me and Neneko departed she headed for her apartment in Shibuya, Tokyo and we both planned on meeting up some day just to hang out with one another. But anyway as I got off the plane I headed through all the usual airport accounts, security, getting my stuff, more security. But then as I walked something caught my little otaku eyes. (Brief definition of otaku = Gamer obsessed, anime loving, geeks, nerds, manga/light novel reading, sub culture spread all over the world! Any questions?) I saw authentic The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi figurines. I just had to have them they were calling, they were calling me to save them! So as I casually walked into the mini shop inside the airport. I saw the limited edition figurine of Asahina Mikuru in her Mikuru beam pose, and it only

Mikuru Beam!

Yuki Nagato

costed about 100 yen. So I looked around a bit more and saw Nagato Yuki in her alien witch costume with the her wand! Costing 100 yen also I was so excited until I saw all three girl Mikuru, Yuki, and Haruhi in their bunny outfits and it was all for only 300 yen for the three of them as a set. So I got all of them a little present for me myself and I, I know selfish but what do you expect I am in Japan and I am a notable Otaku so of course I got them. It's possible I am even get more... But come on Haruhi was holding her guitar you have to get that! Well today was an

Group shot!

awesome day I walked to my hostel which was fairly close to the airport which was great for me, cause I had to drop off all my stuff somewhere! So I was walking up the steps and boy wasn't it beautiful it was a traditional Japan all the way the stairs were beautifully crafted, and traditionally you take off your shoes which is what everyone did and I was given slippers xP. As I checked it I was shown to my room which was beautiful and i don't have to share yay! But my room was gorgeous it had sliding doors and traditional Japanese floors and it was just amazing i was breath taken, it even had a little fridge and TV. I would live here if I didn't have to go back home! So I put all my things away and left my Melancholy figurines all around my end table. But I had to test out my futon so I just plopped right down on it and I sort of forgot my plans to explore and fell into a deep sleep right when I was lying on my bed. *Hit himself* I knew I shouldn't have tested it. But tomorrow is a sure thing! I will explore to my hearts content! But anyway i will see you on the flip side Sugoi kids? I need to get ready to just explore my hostel! Such surreal features...
