Yesterday and the day before I've been resting up after my Mt. Tsukuba hike but I did manage to walk around Akiba for perhaps the last time in search of adventures in otaku town. Not much happened though...I ran into a rather cute girl who helped me find my Gundam piece when I dropped it in the street...but not much happened after that...sorry. Today, however, I took a walk south because I remembered there was a movie theater and I wanted to see what was breakin' box offices in the land of the rising sun...it turns out that the Japanese are lookin' at the new Indiana Jones movie as well as Kung Fu Panda, Horton Sees a Who, and The Happening just to name the ones that are from America. Then there's the Hana Yori Dango movie (Hana Yori Dango is a televesion drama) as well as Gegege no Kitarou (Gegege no Kitarou is an anime). But I'm savin' my money for the Naruto movie that's comin' out on the 2nd right before I leave. But if I reserve my seat (which I should do) the price will be $18 instead of $13...yeah movies in Japan are expensive...
It was about that time I went to get something to eat. I went they Japanese equivalent to a 711 but before I went in I was simple captured by some ridiculously good smell. I went into this udon spot next door, got curry udon, sat down and enjoy the best udon I've had in my life...maybe...I was just hungry but it was good. Another culture difference...there's free green tea at every restaurant or at least free water but I haven't seen any soda at fast food joints or restaurants at all...in related news, this is the first time I've spelled restaurant correctly the first time three times in a row in my life!...sadly...that's just about all for today! See you space cowboy!

Ahh how sweet. She helped you find your gundam piece. What you doing playing with it in the streets? You keep talking about the cute girls: the cute flight attendants, the cute maids, Sam Jackson!, I mean the cute black girls (how many have you seen in japan?).
Well this was black to say the least... nice and short to compensate for the hefty you previously submitted.
So movies are expensive. japan can't be perfect. Seen any go institutions/salons or pingpong parlors?
Ok free water I can understand, but free green tea thats japanese.
