   I think one of my greater regrets from my time in Japan was not having ever gone to a Comiket despite living only an hour away.

   Anyway, have fun and be sure to take lots of awesome pictures of cute cosplayers! ;D

   Sounds fun, hope the trip goes well. ‘Wierd and hilarious’ destinations, eh?

   They hold Comiket in Odaiba?! -_- Sorta doesn’t make sense given the image. Makuhari would have made more sense…

   I imagine the realy small trains going around Odaiba will be horribly crowded then.

   Lemme guess, you wanna meet Danny Choo?

   Nakano, eh? I actually think it’d be much better if you’d go to Nagano (prefecture) instead. Ah, why do all tourists ALWAYS pick Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara as holiday destinations?

   Temperatures in Tokyo are lingering in the 0 to 5 degrees range, so bring a good coat.

   Its also a good idea to make a really quick beeline for the customs check once you get off the plane as the new fingerprinting system is in effect and its really, really slow.

   “weird and hilarious destinations but it’s all top secret kinsoku jikou until (and if) it actually happens.”

    I don’t expect anyone to reply to this in time (I’m leaving Japan in 2 days), but is the Prison-themed restaurant, “The Lock-up” at Shibuya worth a visit?

    @quendidil: err it has a branch in Shibuya?! o.O I went to the one in Shinjuku. The food is ok (American-style) and the theme is like you’re in a dungeon complete with chains and stuff. (They actually require that at least one from your party be handcuffed before bringing you to your room).

    Randomly, they have this event where you hear these sounds like there’s a monster attack outside your room (its very anime-ish… think Eva during an Angel attack) complete with lights going out etc. The “monster” even enters your room and attacks you.

    It’s pretty fun, I guess. You should try the umm… crap I forgot the name. Bakudan-something… it’s the takoyaki where one of the balls is insanely spicy. It’s basically takoyaki russian roulette.

    Woo! Christmas and Comiket is probably one of the best ways to enjoy Japan. So, bon voyage then!

    […] Episode 13 will air on the 5th of January. This is great because I will be in Japan for Comiket on the 29th and I don’t want to be translating any damn Gundam […]
