Genma must have a DSLR or something. That's the only way I could shoot 10GB worth of pictures.

is there any way you can do a cheap backpacker trip to japan? like extremely cheap. I don't care what city I end up in as long as i can take a bath, taste the food, and interact with the people. villages in mountains are more than fine, but one thing i can't live without is water.

Shibuya, there is so many people and it is so happening. Even during the daytime on a weekday, as i took this photo, there was so many people. I walked around the downtown area to stores nearby, and right up to the famous Shibuya109 bldg, and other places.

^^^Very nice. Hachiko scramble is even more ridiculous on a holiday weekend. Did you go inside 109? :naughty:

Not sure how cheap you mean by cheap, but for accommodation, just go for the simplest hostels that use shared baths and toilets. www.hostelworld.com has links to most of them but you'd need to book way in advance to get the popular ones.

I went in the evening when it was raining, and it was just as crowded! They don't seem dampened by the weather. :sweat: Also noticed that some people carry 2 umbrellas.. not sure why?

i love their umbrellas, and bought two more on this trip cause i needed it, badly. It started pouring in Hakata-Fukoka, and i bought a more normal sized one(by american standards) for 750Y, still it was good quality.

I later bought one in Akihabara for 500Y, and the most personal size, and i love their umbrellas, and i did see one for even smaller than the one i got, and it was same price 500Y, and half the size of American ones. My umbrella did the upturn a few times, as one day it was rainy, and windy. But fortunately for me, my umbrella was resilient and remained intact afterward.

I didn't go up the famous Shibuya109 this trip, but i went all the way up on my other trips to Tokyo, and they were packed that day, and had this going on...i took a few moments of video along with a pix,

Well, the wind did wreck my original umbrella. :beaten: I bought another at Shibuya later on for 550Y, quite sturdy and compact!

I didn't explore Shibuya109 much, just did the first few levels and got bored. hehe.. must be the rain that got into the mood.
