I Am Home From Japan.

**TrakMastaTom** · 07-01-2009, 04:23 AM

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:

Welcome back. Did you meet any hot chicks? If so tell us about it in the private forum(unless there's no need for that

then just tell us here).

Welcome back TMT!

Id love to go to japan some day, It looks wicked!
Hows the weather over there?

**sabby** · 07-01-2009, 08:52 AM

Welcome back TMT, sounds like you had an awesome time. Glad to have you back. If you have any other pictures please post them.

**jim5cents** · 07-01-2009, 08:58 AM

you got eaten by a panda bear while in japan?

**sezthemank** · 07-01-2009, 09:22 AM

Hey TMT
I put a few of my songs on my mp3 player on my phone.
You sound like your influenced by Atmosphere.
Your a wicked rapper T!

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

**tanc24** · 07-01-2009, 10:54 AM

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.

**TrakMastaTom** · 07-01-2009, 06:05 PM

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.

Apparently Tommy Lee Jones is the boss.

School girl parade.

Something...

Tori gate.

Attack deer!

Golden Pavilion.

Himaji Castle.

This is...this.

And...this.

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?

**sezthemank** · 07-01-2009, 08:03 PM

Wow it looks amazing.
Is it expensive?

**Winnebagel** · 07-01-2009, 08:38 PM

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.

Nice. Did you get to test out an open air hot spring bath?

Nah. Never saw any. Otherwise I would have.

**Crazycj2389** · 07-23-2009, 06:47 PM

Dude that is flipping sweet!! I love Japan, I know a sure fire way for me to get over there no problem. It involves me teaching ^_^!!

**samejamesbond** · 07-23-2009, 08:35 PM

Welcome Back!
Japan sounds like a nice vacation spot.

**Timber Wolf** · 07-23-2009, 11:40 PM

Welcome Back, sounds like you had fun, I'm planning on going there not next year, but the year after that, and suggestions of places to go?

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.
