So I've heard. Cool toys and maids. :D

So the white wall with missing paint is another building I presume?

I see I see. Thanks for the tip!

have a great flight to the land of the rising sun!
do take a lot of pictures, and have fun wherever you go in Japan.
Where specifically are you staying at?

I visited four areas in Japan, Tokyo, Hakone, Nagoya, and Kyoto. I primarily stayed in Tokyo, in the Akasaka area. My favorite is Tokyo as there is so much to see and do there, i just love the big city, and Akihabara, Shinjuku areas most. I also do enjoy the peaceful countryside of Hakone and rich history of Nara and Kyoto.
I'll try to post up more pictures later today, i am glad you all enjoyed my photos. I took over 600 pictures and even video of my trip. I guess i am having Japan trip withdrawal, and was just thinking of my flight over to Japan and my visit to Tokyo and the other cities. What i won't miss too much is the continous downfall of rain while i was in Kyoto and Tokyo. It rained a lot during the last week. It is rainy season so be prepared, but i am sure you won't let that damper things, just go out have fun, and indulge yourself in the culture, food, fast and peaceful(in the countryside), environment of Japan! The customer service is the best of the world, and despite the high prices of some things, Japan is the first place i always want to go back. Infact i want to go back next summer.
Enjoy your trip Mr.Choi Boi, and share with us your stories and photos, have a great trip! :woot:

How did you like Nagoya qilver? Although I loved :inlove: living in Nagoya, thereLs not that much sightseeing to do.

Sugoi! That's means more pics to come, yea! :woot:

Hope you have a blast. :victory:

might se you there if you come to osaka. :mrgreen:

Enjoy the trip Mr.ChoyBoi! :metaldevil:

Have fun MCB! Excellent pics Q.

tabana, I'll take a look (post them eventually) of the pics I took at Akihabara to see which building that is.

Plan is to go next year in the fall. It's the 25th anniversary of Tokyo Disneyland after all. :woot: And we get to see the Harborside Christmas at DisneySea. Gyoza Sausage Bun, here we come!!

Alright, thanks. :D

Yum. Gyoza. Never had gyoza that looked like that tho.

Today is a busy day. You've got lots to do; your lunch should be something light yet satisfying that you can eat on the go. The Gyoza Sausage Bun is one of the most popular snacks in the Park, available at Refreshment Station in Mysterious Island. Head over that way for further exploration. Gyoza Sausage Bun Y399

Nagoya was ok, i just spent the day there, not overnight. I met up with my pen pal early afternoon, and left early evening. I saw Nagoya Castle, parts of the downtown area near the Nagoya Station, and Osu area. It was nice to visit a town other than Tokyo, Hakone, and Kyoto. Perhaps next time i will visit Takayama, which is probably about 1 to 2 hours from Kyoto in the countryside.
