Post Tokyo Blog!

Back from Tokyo.

Very tired.

Tokyo is big and humid.

Transit system is annoyingly long, confusing and expensive.

Tokyo Game show is smaller than E3 but with much more hot booth babes.

Had about 9 hours of sleep this whole trip (4 hours being over 2 days). Usually got home around 7am.

Turns out that I am an asshole when I am drunk.

Horny white guys co workers only wanted to go to Roppongi (the sleazy "western" part of Tokyo), ended up going there ALL THREE NITES AT THE SAME FUCKIN' CLUB!! I hated it the first time I step into the club!

Got to check out Akihabara, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Roppongi and Ueno.

Bought some stuff at Akihabara, not as much as I expected (I refrained myself).

Japanese girls DO talked to you if you are white and sitting by yourself on the subway.

Got to see my friends in Tokyo, including ex roomie John Mac, Colin my friend at Square Enix and Nami, a girl I met in Seattle. I also got to meet a lot of their game industry friends (not Nami's).

One night went to this very cool NINJA restaurant, where the place is made to look like a cave and everyone is dressed like a ninja serving you. Night ended with an AWESOME Ninja magic show. Very expensive though (company paid). A definate highlight of trip.

Watch as one of our "never been with a girl / real human beings" co worker pick up a girl and start dancing on the floor with her. Though I am happy he was with a woman, it was VERY PAINFUL to watch him "grind" with this girl.

Went to this great DJ club with John Mac and his gf Meaghan called Yellow. Supposively, a very cool and large (for a Tokyo night club) where the world's best DJ play. $30 cover too but since Meaghan knew the DJ, I only paid $10. Afterwards, went to this really bad Japanese Tex Mex joint.

Ate a lot of Teriyaki burgers from Lotteria and crispy deep friend chicken cartilige. Yummy!

Took about 300 pictures (coming soon).
