7:23pm
Owowoow… sore feet.
Ended up walking a few miles.. in my dress shoes >=O
Okay, once again, start at the start THEN work my way to current bitching.
First thing, woke up at 8 to the sound of Jeff smacking his mouse around on the desk as he uses it. For fuck’s sake, just clear out a larger space! Anyway, got up and since I already took a shower last night, I had nothing more than getting dressed to do. So I did that and we went down to the restaurant on the 2nd floor, Jonathon’s. I got the pancakes again and he got the combo.
We were both dressed up pretty damn spiffy. I mean button up shirts and ties since Amoroso told us all that ‘Yahoo is the place where if you have a tie, wear it’. So we came down and everyone else was dressed up too. So what’s Amoroso wearing?
tennis shoes and a fucking polo, not even tucked in. Then he’s all ‘I never said that :B’ so we grumble and most of us run back to our rooms to ditch the shirts. This then makes us run like 10 mins late since he didn’t bother to show up in the lobby until like 5 mins before we were supposed to leave. Then he gets all grumpy about it. Oh well.
So we ride the subway out to Roppongi, the big party and business district of J-pan.
I got to see Konami HQ =O Cool beans.
So we go inside Yahoo where no cameras are allowed, so no pics of that.
We listen to a presentation which wasn’t boring.. but just.. meh. I mean, Yahoo in Japan is huuuuge, like what google’s become to we ‘mericans.
After that we planned to go out and see Tokyo Tower (ya know, see if it’s been destroyed yet this year or not :V ). Amoroso said it was a few blocks away, ’10 at the most’. Dood… we asked a policeman and he had to look on 2 different maps to find it. Said it was over an hour’s walk :\
Seriously.. I’m wondering why we listen to him at all anymore..
So we gave up on that since it was already 4 and there was no way we’d get there before it closed. Even the way to get there from the subway was convoluted as fuck.
So then a few guys wanted to go down to Harajuku cause they heard ‘there’s cosplaying girls there’. Um.. not really anymore. That’s on Sunday and they don’t cosplay so much as just dress in punk, gothic loli and other weird styles. Anyway, it’s the fashion district where all kinds of weird shit is.
So we got on the subway to get there… and Andrew got us off on the wrong stop. So we turned around and wondered about paying another 160 to ride one stop.. but were like ‘nah, it’s not that far’ and walked.
For over an hour!!
First time Andrew took us down a wrong turn and lost about 10/15 mins getting back, then up and up a hill, then down it before finally reaching the station as planned. By then my feet were yelling at me. We rode the train a whopping 2 stops to Harajuku. We went walking around for a while looking at all kinds of stuff, but mostly I just people-watched. Since we got there around 5:30, there were a shit-ton of schoolgirls everywhere :V

So I kinda followed after those doods for a while, then got tired of it (and hungry) and went back here with Jeff.
Thinking about it, someone needs to tell me a good place I can dump aaaaaall these spiffy pics to :3
Anyway, once Jeff’s g/f leaves, we’ll go get some freshness burger. He was sitting there reading and the moment she signed on he slapped the book closed and jumped onto the keyboard XD
…Not that I wouldn’t do it, but still funny to watch XD
