My Karo mats arrived as soon as i did too. Haven't opened it cause i need to go get some tape to seal it back for the journey back home. I used to hound people locally to bring it in but nobody would... So i made my own.
Walked all over town today savouring the sigihts, smells and sounds. Took quite a number of pics, but unfortunately, yours truely forgot to pack in a mini usb-USB wire, so you will all have to contend with a picture of the cameras i brought over... Will put them up as soon as possible, promise :P
Oh, here's a pic of the camera's screen showing a can of corn soup bought from a vending machine, it's really tasty... Thought it'd be worth sharing... TAS2010 starts in less then 24hrs! Gonna be getting some rest soon... G'Night's everyone!
*Update*
I owe you all a proper Day 1 post, so here's a revised post with updated visuals!
Breakfast on the ANA fliht, not great but decent, fried fish & rice.
Takes about 20-30 minutes to walk to the hotel from Shinjuku station. Checking in was to be at 2pm, so i was really arriving before 10am. So i just left my luggage with the hotel and went roaming about Shinjuku. (Colors in the picture above wasn't DI-ed)
Lunch was some funky dish which tasted... funky... (not a fan)
Finally checked in at 2pm and found out how tiny my room is :( Consolation being, i won't be in the room much. Not that there is any reason to be anyway...
Width of door / passageway is just slightly more then my luggage. With my room finally settled, i washed up and headed out for Oochanomizu! Or in other words, a street full of instruments and electric guitars!!!
Prices of the guitars tho, were not in my budget, so i went home (hotel) empty handed.
Took a walk from Oochanomizu down one train stop to Akihabara, or "Electric Town" to oome people. The walk towards Akihabara was pretty scenic, (as scenic a City can get) so took a couple of shots as i walked.
An overwhelming array of gadgets, gizmos and costumed girls handing out leaflets to "maid cafes" greeted me at Akihabara, i heard the food at those cafes suck and costs a bomb, so i skipped.
Walked by a store selling ONLY Onigiri and bought one to eat while walking, it was fabulous! After i finished the first oni, i turned back for another. Simply superb.
After the multimeda-fest of Akihabara, i took the train down towards Shibuya for a short walk around. Picked up some shirts at H&M and had dinner at a Ramen joint, I think i overdid the Onigiris cos i didn't really feel like finishing my Ramen.
Everyone shoots this photo, so i did it too...
As you can see, Day 1 was pretty packed full of places to go, in the end, i headed back to the hotel right after dinner, and found out i didn't bring along my USB cable. Time to rest for the Big opening day of TAS2010!
