Remember, when I said: "Usually you have the impression that Japan and Tokyo is this superupgrated 23rd century city... but in reality as you look out on countryside: you see something like from the Vietnamese thematic american movies"? Forget it. Today I woke up at 10, bc someone knocked me. I went to the corridor and heard some English speech from the next room so I put on some clothes and checked whatsup. It was the German guy and the African guy, figuring out what to do today. So we planned some sightseing, and instead of having breakfast... I slept one hour more. In the end the African guy didn't come but with the German guy we started to discover Tokyo.
Ok. First of all. Tokyo is fucking big. Amazing. Really. We have been out for 12 hours today and yeah... we've just seen only 1/15th of the famous and nice stuff. In the end the African guy didn't come so it was just two of us. We went to Shibuya but before we walked to the close station called: Kamakuru. This area where we live is this Vietnamese style town nice but not a metropolis. Some grass, we checked some shrines... nothing too urban but a nice town area. But Shibuya... Welcome to Tokyo!
So imagine a real metropolis. Skyscreapers, neon, advertisements, and people people people. Meanwhile walking I've eaten some chicken nuggets as a breakfast and we were just checking out the streets, the shops.. it's amazing. I've never ever been to a citys like this. We checked out a very very nice garden. Here if you want to visit a park you have to pay fee... so it was not for free... but it was amazing to see some nice green spots, water, gardens... It was really amazing and nice. Afterwards we had some lunch (some Japanese rice stuff, and a fried hot-dog kind of weirdness and went to Harajuku. It is a really nice train station aaaand... it has in front of the most crowded street of Tokyo. amazing. Crowdcrowdcrowd... people. Lot of shops, owners standing in front with speakers trying to convince you to come in and shop and people everywhere. We went to a casino...or game area. You cannot win here money... just presents. It is a nation rule. But in the next shop you can exchange your presents for money. Fuck logic! I really didn't get the point of the games. Everyone was playing something... which was kind of mixture of the Pokemon video game and the half handed slotmachine.I know it sounds crazy but it was. Er ere watching them for minutes and didn't get any closer what the fuck they are doing. It is still not clear even if it was just a game of luck but you needed to use some skills. anyway it was really popular. We also checked out a manga store. Incredible amount of books... all of them foiled you cannot even look in them before you read it. Lot of cartoon dolls, and comic book in infinite amount. There was a separeted section just for porn. Shitload f books in front of anime girls with enormous boobs... which is something really really really rare in the real Japan. :D Anyway it was crazy. Then even had a private section for the gay porn manga books. So we ere just checking around the enormous skyscreapers, supertall buildings, plazas. Amazing architecture. Really. We've found the local Prada store it was maybe one of the craziest building I've ever sawn. But there was a skyscreaper looking like a remote control... and shitload of stuff. Amazing! And every time we stopped some Japanese strangers came to us to ask if we are lost and can they help us? amazing! We just stopped for a sec to eat or something and they came. :D Even if they didn't speak English. We met later at the train station with Japanesegirl #2 and a French girl... Oh the meeting was sooo weird. We haven't seen the girls and they surprised s buy grabbing our backs. So I was surprised and for a sec I forgot Japanese stuffs and I gave Juki two kisses on the cheeks like we usually do with girls in Europe. But in Japan... noone. So it was totally weird and I realized just later that I forgot where I am. Anyway four of us went to eat some pancake. Here pancake is totally crazy but superawesome. It is really really huge (forget Nagyi Palacsintázója and stuff... much bigger) and they make a tqwister from it. And what is inside? Whatever you want. Mine was included a chocolate ice-cream and a lot of cream, and vanilla, and suga and stuff... it was amazing.And expensive of course. :D So we checked out this supercrowded bedestrian streets took pics from some crazy cosplays and guys/girls dressed gothic or lollita or manga. Later we went to check out the Tokyo Tower. It the Eifel tower of Tokyo. Do not laugh it is true. It was built in the middle of the 20th senctury and it higher than the Eifel tower and it is less heavy. And it is amazing. really. If someone would tell me a year ago that I will se the Japanese Eifel tower earlier than the actual one I'd just laugh... but that's the fact. And the sun went down so we've seen the real metropolis with all it's lights at night. Amazing. So many buildings and floors and people everywhere. A crazy experience. Like here if a building is just 10-20 floors high you see it short or small. 2 levels of roads and a lor of levels of subway... amazing. Up, up, up! The sight is hard to describe. And also the tower looked amazing with the lights. But next to it there was a really old and big and nice shrine. Amazing also. Christianity is not the official religion here it is something else. But most of the people are not religious. They believe in work hehe. :D But ok. I've seen today a christian church but it was build I guess max 10 years ago and it was kind of super modern you wouldn't recognize it without the cross. Later we were havin a Japanese dinner... but me cos I didn't have money... I was just eating some cheap burgers in a Mcdonalds. Here that is the cheapest thing... the 100 yen offers are kind of same prize than in Hungary. But they have some differences. Much more and much fresh lattice is inside the burgers and they have some shaky chicken which is crazy and it includes not only chicken but something really slippery and strange stuff also. But the normal hamburger is the same. Oh one more carzy stuff. When the French girl hopped on the train we waved her goodbye... and a bunch of totally stranger Japanese girls started to wave us back from the train. :D Amazing.
So that was it, coming home and blogwriting and now sleeping. Tomorrow I'll have to work at 3. Previously I'll meet with Yuki and the Polish girl at 1 pm I'll have to do some registration and stuff. :S I forgot to mark that tomorrow morning I want to have breakfast so I guess I'll have to buy myself something. Anyway I'll later mark that I want some dinner... And I'll try not to be superlazy and go for some sightseeing before work. we'll see. Oh... and In my last day in Tokyo Unisonic with gotthard will perform here. I think I'll try to check them out. Te entrance fee will be around 24000 forints but they will perform here 2 days aaand you cannot taste the legendary Japanese metalconcert feeling everyday. So let's bang some head!
Oh... and here are some pics dudes... I guess the faithful ones who are following my blog maybe've already missed some. Sooo. This was the trip and the first night:
