Comments!!

Hey, just a quick note on the comments for this. A friend of mine just pointed out that only other blogger members or w/e can comment on my blog here... i didn't know that, so i changed it to anyone. Please leave some love!!

Anyways, on to toda-RAIN! lol, yea, its definately rainin good today. Had my classic Japanese moment tho. Umbrella in one hand and cell phone in the other, booyah. We went to campus to for this 'advising session' which was 'highly encouraged' for us to go to. Yeeaaaa... nothin like a big group advising session where they just tell you whats written in the booklet, lol. Actually some people did ask some pretty good questions, and i was able to meet up with some other friends and eat lunch at the cafeteria, but its like, 230 one way just to get there, ugh.

After that I went with a friend to Shinjuku, for some more domination, lol. Had to buy a new umbrella though, cause my 100yen one pretty much... broke, haha. You get what ya pay for (100 yen ~ 1 dollar). Anyways it was a lot of fun. Didn't really go anywhere in particular, mostly exploration and wandering, but I have a much better idea of the orientation of Shinjuku station now, just like i did with Ikebukuro a several days ago. Did get a nice umbrella, and a cool organizer for my reciepts, woo!

GO TWINS!!

Then we, after a nice ride backwards on the train and, well actually this is funny, let me explain (plus i wanna show off my further knowledge of the Tokyo train system, lol!) Ok, so we took the Chuo Rapid Service Line from Yotsuya to Shinjuku, one stop baby, Rapid Service for the win. And after we were done in Shinjuku we took Shounan-Shinjuku Line from Shinjuku to Ikebukuro. Also just one stop, w00t. But then from Ikebukuro is where it gets interesting. So the Yuurakuchou line runs from Ikebukuro out to Heiwadai where we live. However theres now a "New" Yuurakuchou line that kinda diverts south at Kotake-mukaihara. Well, we accidently got on the train in the wrong direction at Ikebukuro (not my fault btw, cause I was tellin my friend it goes in the wrong direction but noooOOOOOoooo, hahaha), anyways, so after pointing out that Shin-Kiba is in the opposite direction of where we're going (we want Wakoshi), we took that to the next stop, got off, and got on the next train going the opposite direction. Which actually was surprisingly late, of course when it got there, we understood why. Good ol jam packed train. Anyways, this train was the "new" Yuurakuchou line which diverts south at Kotake-mukaihara. So actually what we can do is just take it to Kotake-mukaihara, and then get on the normal Yuurakuchou that continues on to Heiwadai. And thats what we did. But it was really cool though, cause when we got to Kotake-mukaihara, the next train was there waiting for us, rock on baby. We litterally walked straight across the train platform to train on the other side, 2 more stops and Heiwadai baby. Yea, total Tokyo Metro pwnage baby, lol. anyways it was cool, now i konw a much faster way to take the train from like, Yotsuya, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro. Good to know.

So, did you get all that? When you come to Japan you'll have no problems with that right? ^_^

Anyways after we got back to Heiwadai we went to a 100 yen Kaiten-zushi just south of the station. Delicious. Its one of our new happy places, haha. We'll be going back a good number of times ^_^

its the 100 yen part that takes the cake, you should see the kaiten-zushi place i went to in Fujisawa last time, that was definatley the more cooler bar style with the conveyor and chef in the middle to order stuff from if its not there. This place you had to push a button all old skool drive in theater style... but that was pretty sweet too, cause then your food just magically appears on the conveyor, haha
