Dammit... Why is Japan so freaking HOT?
Bah. The worst part is I spent a good amount of time crammed into trains.. Or underground waiting for trains. That's hot anyways. But even when I'm outside the sun is so freaking hot I'm sweating. The only time it feels like winter is when the wind blows. Japan has really cold wind. But yeah. It says it's 6 degrees, but it's all lies. It's 10 at least.
The comic convention was interesting. I didn't realize it but the entire thing changed everyday. Thank god I visited all the stations I wanted to on Sunday. I don't know what else to say really.. It was at the "Tokyo Big Site" convention center on Odaiba. I had to take the computer run train, which was very crowded. Each day I went there I found new short cuts to take me there faster, but I always had to take the unmanned train. It was just... Crowded. I took pictures of the building, but once I got inside there were just people everywhere, I couldn't stop or I'd be trampled... Saw plenty of gaijin, but everytime I visited a circle's table they looked at me like they couldn't quite believe there was a foreigner at their table.
So Tuesday I went to Odaiba anyways and went to see a movie. ... Nothing was on though, really. Wall-E is still new out here. o_O And Hellboy 2 is coming out in January. I missed out in Canada so I'll see it out here. LOL Anyways, I saw "The Day the World Stood Still" with Keanau(?). It wasn't bad. But I wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't desperate. The theater was really classy too. In Japan you reserve your seats at the ticket counter so I was guaranteed a good seat. They had a few rows of these "loveseat" like seats with pillows on it. It looked really comfortable. But the normal seats were just as nice. Good size theater, reminded me of Metrotown. They had a great "manners" commercial though, they had this party of 8 rowdy guys and they kept breaking all the rules until finally popcorn was thrown everywhere and they started a brawl. They took themselves outside though, which I thought was interesting. It was really entertaining to watch!
I'm watching the New Year's Specials on TV, it's really hilarious, they have all these "stars" and "idols" and it's the "athlete" team that seems to always get it right! There's the song special but I can't watch that very long. I mean, I like music and all but 4 hours? Augh. No. I'd rather watch crazy game shows... Although I don't understand any of the trivia questions. I don't feel too bad though, the contestants don't seem to either... This was a lot more fun the last time. I actually knew some of the celebrities. I'm really out of the loop. -_-;; Have to watch more Japanese TV.
Aw man. I hope I have enough money for the next few days. I forgot that alot of ATMs close down from the 1st-4th. Yeah. The ATMs. It's weird. Well... At least the ones in Ise do, I haven't seen anything written on the ones out here. OH! And the ATMs in 7-11 stores actually take foreign debit cards now! It used to only be the ones in post offices! Doesn't really help me in Toba or Ise though, they don't have them. Nagoya does, though. But I haven't seen a single Circle K shop out in Tokyo, which really surprised me! They definitely have better food than the ones out here though. Pretty nasty.
Going on another tour tomorrow. Going to take all day, so that's good.... Don't have much to say. Spent too much money. I'm going to have to forage for food for the next few weeks when I get back to Ise. ... I'm going to miss my bed. ;_; ... And my internet had a burp. I'll have to wait. OH! And if you haven't watched the WOW video "Blind" yet, DO SO NOW. It's had a couple of posts on the WOW community. Here's the website. I'm too lazy to code it. http://vimeo.com/2625538
