lol I meant Osaka. I figure if it was smaller, it'd have more of a crowd. Tho smaller places tend to have smaller populations as well... :sweat:

of course! me baka!! :bonk:

I was actually thinking more about the food version, since it was invented there. Population wise, Tokyo should have more of the left and right version tho. ;)

takoyaki abounds...but seriously. of course we could all eat it there but takoyaki is more of a Kansai favorite so I'm sure the best takoyaki can be found in Osaka, not Tokyo....same thing with okonomiyaki.

i got my friends to try some takoyaki in harajuku last year but unfortunately it wasn't the best example. now they think i'm even more strange for liking octopus! :beaten:

that's cool! looking forward to some of your Japan pictures.
i'll try to upload and post more of my pictures.

I chatted with my pen pal, who i visited while in Nagoya. She said the weather has been sunny and near 30 degrees celcius, so the weather has improved since i have been there a few weeks ago. I think the rainy season has passed, mostly. It is supposively going to be a cooler summer as well, but still humid and quite warm. Enjoy your travels in Japan. How long is your vacation? you should visit Akihabara if you get the chance while in Tokyo. Electronic and Anime paradise!
have fun!

haha....should have taken them for a few drinks first to dull their senses....then before you know it, they'd be wearing headbands and making takoyaki alongside the japanese cooks themselves.

my drinking hole there is the hard rock cafe at honmachi. exit 9 of the subway. :mrgreen:

ever hear of the Marunouchi subway line? that was the subway line that i took between Shinjuku and Tokyo station quite frequently. A close access to the Hotel Akasaka, at Mitsuke Akasaka trainstation.
anyhow, here are more pictures from my trip, i took a lot!

where are all the cosplay/maid pics bro? given the fact you are a self-professed otaku. :bonk:

I'll bet the subway in NY never look this clean even when it was first built. :beaten:

:hehe: i wasn't around that long ago but when i lived in NYC for three years I can tell you i never saw anything that compares to the tokyo subway. that's for dayem sure! from the train cars to the platforms to the smells to the RATS...there's no comparison it's like comparing filet mignon (Tokyo) to rotten head cheese (NYC Metro).

don't get me wrong...the new york metro rocks for operating 24/7 which the Tokyo subway doesn't....and it can sure as hell get you where you want to go cheaply.

but when you throw in the myriad number of restaurants, food outlets, retail shops, and the like the available underground within the confines of the tokyo subway system....comparison becomes totally futile.
