tokyo apple
So we are in Tokyo, Godzilla's favourite town. Haven't managed to get a meeting with the beast just yet but I'm staying positive.
The free internet at the Apple Centre in Ginza is quite something. Saves me that ¥100 per 15 minutes at my hostel...because ¥100 can get you so far in this country. Well actually it can if you choose to shop at the ¥100 stores; I managed to get a pair of boxers that while saying "L" on them are more like a "S". Needless to say, not very comfortable undies.
We managed to get tickets to the 31st Grand Sumo Tourney on Sunday so I'm looking forward to seeing large overweight men run into each other. It should turn out to be very interesting but I've got a suspicion that it won't be anything like a WWE match.
Food in Japan is still good but I've noticed a love of deep-fried crumbled meat. But we did go to a revolving sushi place last night and each ourselves stupid. Drinking 1 Litre of beer afterwards is not recommended.
Beer is cheap, 500ml of good beer for only ¥190 cheap.
Anyway, I'm about done, going to try and find a way to take some pictures so it looks like I'm crushing buildings in downtown Tokyo. On that, a fair warning to all travellers; do not make jokes about wanting to pretend to be Godzilla to the customs/immigration people as the reason why you are travelling to Japan. They give you strange looks. I mean really strange looks. And even some dirty looks from the supervisors.
Oh I might be screwed when I try to return to Australia.
