This is the last of my posts for the day! =D

So, the final stop for Saturday (it was a full day!) was the Vampire cafe! Yeah... the Vampire Cafe.

Which is... exactly like it sounds! A kitchy cafe decorated to look all dracula and bloooooooood. Something a lot of people I know back home would like XD

Honestly, it was interesting, but.. well, too smoky. I would gladly go back if it was nonsmoking, but since that isn't going to happen and it was utterly miserable from the smoke of the drug-addicted girl behind us (they ARE drugs), and the chain-smoking guy next to us, I won't be going back.

However, whenever Tokyo is made smoke-free, I am so coming back! Here's to the future!!

( But some pictures Dracula himself would (not) be proud of XD )

You know how you hear about all of those random strange vending machines in Japan? Well, this one sells canned soups.

Canned ramen, oden, curry, chicken soup.... all sorts of strange things!!

It's in Akihabara, by the way... Think you can find it? It's kind of hiding in plain sight ^_~

I wouldn't have even known about it myself if it wasn't for my friend Patrick, from Otaku2.com! He introduced it to us when he guest starred on Pop'n Press! I HIGHLY recommend his book, too!! The Otaku Encyclopedia!! It's full of nearly everything that an Otaku would want to know! I really loved it!! (I'll do a really good review of it eventually!)

I was volunteering in Akihabara, and we had a reservation for a place in Ginza that evening, so Adele and I decided to walk.... I took a lot of great pictures of the city!!

Sorry in advance, but I have a lot of posts to make and only tonight to make them (studio from tomorrow on), so I'm going to make a lot of posts all at once! ^^ Sometimes I don't like doing that, because it discourages people from commenting, (I love comments!!), but I've gotta post while I can! ^^

( +10 pictures of buildings and pretty sights in the city ^__________^ )

I'm starting a new tag, Conbini Life, just to post about weird things or just things that I find in japanese convenience stores (and of course, other ones when I travel!). I'd really like to post more about the "normal" (as much as my life is) parts of living in Japan... at least what I experience living in Japan, since everyone is different!!

So without further ago, a few more pictures of convenience store-ness! Guess I'd better take as many as I can right now, in case I suddenly get my break and am too famous to get away with taking pictures! (lol, well you never know! It would be nice, ne? ^___^)

( +6 conbini pictures, +5 berry cafe... )

Hello~ I'm not sure how many of you are interested in this, but I'm doing a sort of commentary post on the second season of the Chinese Prince of Tennis Drama at my journal. It's not really a translation of the dialogue word for word, but rather explaining what's happening in each scene, as well as I can.

I'm planning on doing the entire season two, but just wanted to know how whether enough people cares for me to inform the tenipuri community when a new episode is posted up ^__^; Let me know?

Thank you!

Hi UCDLJ.

My name is Andrew. I have 2 tickets to the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre's presentation of Love's Labour's Lost at the Mondavi Center on Wednesday at 7pm. My plan was to, like, meet a girl before Wednesday. But I didn't. But my failure can be your opportunity! Are you a female who is both appreciative of Shakespearean theater and in possession of a UC Davis Student ID card? Then you are eligible to sit next to me.

Anyone interested? Leave a comment or message me.
