SO

The past few days have been good. As I still don't have a job (aargh), I am still taking it fairly easy. I have been hanging out with a couple of my new friends, and just going sightseeing and windowshopping. Oh and eating! So nothing that have really rocked my socks off.

Well, at least not until yesterday. Sakura House (the company trough which I have rented a room), invited us (the people who, trough Sakura House, have rented rooms) to attend an Expo, which is held yearly. It is an Expo where big Japanese Companies show off their latest Arcade technology, which is a VERY big deal in Japan. For those of you who are confused as to what an arcade is, it's like a pinball machine, or a streetfighter machine, where you put in some money, and then you can fight, or shoot or race for x minutes or until you run out of health. Great fun, but not very popluar outside of Japan. Except for on ferries. Ferries love arcades.


But yeah, we went there, and it was crazy! Thousands of people and SO MUCH NOISE. And yeah, we got to try some new games and look at, well, some really confusing machinary. The Japanese loved it, while us mortal Gaijins could just stand and watch and wonder what the hell was going on. But it was great fun!

Innovative technology: Konami has made an online arcade game, which is played with 3D GLASSES! We gave it a try, and it's fucking awesome. All I want for christmas is 3d computergames!

BOOTHBABES

The place was packed with various mascots for companys, so we regularly saw bears and dogs running around. Apart from promoting arcade games and machines, this expo was also used to promote companies like Hello Kitty and like 10 others, who mostly just deals in cuddlywuddly things and bunnyrabbits. Sadly, it's not only for children. We saw more teenagers (and a scary amount of them were guys) with their bags filled with KAWAII things, like cats and pink bears...

BUNNY!


These guys are scary...

Oh, and Sonic the Hedgehog! (and a mexican...)

To end this post, here is something that is consideres CUTE OVERLOAD (or, as everyone else in this country says - "aaaaaaaa kawaiiiiiiiiiii")

This cat-pillow is the only thing I have ever wanted to buy.

So yeah, that was a fun day! I am currently uploading videos to my youtube account, so you should be able to get an idea of the sensory-overload I suffered trough :P
