Dude, today was crazy. I saw a sun rise, a sun set, a sun rise, and a sun set all in the same Tuesday.

Japan was awesome. I had a blast in Tokyo, and beat several Japanese men in Street Fighter 4. So, score one for USA. :)

I don't know if anyone here has been to Japan, but everyone should go. I have a feeling everyone on this forum would enjoy it as much as I did.

I missed you guys.

Here is a picture that sums up my experience in Japan:

Hey TMT

Welcome back, Tom! Sounds like you had a blast. Were you there for business or pleasure? Or both?

Japan is near the top of my list of "Places to visit before I die".

Glad to hear you mopped the floor with the locals in SF4.

Alright, let's see...

@Dudebro: Japan has so many good looking women that it is kind of stupid. I talked to a few school girls in a toy store that thought everything I said was hilarious. I don't know how much they understood, but they knew enough English to ask me lots of questions.

@Sez: The weather was fine. There was 1 big rain, and a few short small rains. Considering it is "the rainy season" over there, I would say that isn't too bad.

@Jim: Yes. It was crazy.

@Kevin: Strictly pleasure.

@Tanc: You should definitely go. It is super awesome.

and @Sabby: Here's some more pictures.

Japan had orange Zima. I found that pretty funny.

Someday...

Did you bring back anything cool? Also, did you get to try out a real ramen shop, and if so how was it?

Edit: Wife wants to know if you went to Tokyo and if so Akihabara?

Welcome back TMT. I have studied Japanese for years, but I still haven't made a trip over there. I am very jealous, but I'm glad you had fun!

I went to several real ramen shops. They were good.

Yes, Tokyo, and definitely Akihabara.

I mostly spent my money on things for my friends and family. I got a bunch of Street Fighter toys and Monster Hunter toys. Then I got my nieces some Totoro plush dolls. I did get myself a Parappa the Rapper toy in Akihabara for cheap. Most things were really expensive, so I had to find some deals. I also bought some 100 yen records, including one of Gundam background music.

I won a Freeza toy out of a crane game.

Good times.

It depends on how long you plan to stay, but Miyajima was beautiful, and a cool change from the big city.

Definitely go to Akihabara in Tokyo. That is where I spent most of my time. Himaji castle is also super awesome.
