A few of my best photos from japan 2008

Posted by neko under Photography, Sightseeing

Hello~

I’m finally posting something new… after a long long time. Blogging is, well, kind of boring.
I decided to blog only if i feel like doing it and not trying to force my self to do it.

Today, is one of those day where i feel like blogging a little bit :)

Here are a few of my best photos taken during my 5 months in japan. It’s not in high-res, sort of a little preview.

If you want the full-res photos, please let me know and i will write a follow-up post with all my 1920*1280 photos.

Jya ne~

Week 2 and 3

Sorry everybody or the few persons who drop buy here from time to time but i’m not really into blogging mood.

I’ve shot a few low-quality pictures with my jp-keitai the last few weeks… so i’ll post them instead of writing a bunch of nonsense.

I’ve done the following stuff and more:

  • Visited the aquarium in shinagawa
  • Ate a lot of japanese and non japanese food
  • Went clubbing 2 times at club atom
  • Drank in shibuya, roppongi, shinjuku and other places
  • Drank an Iced almond caramel latte @excelsior caffee almost everyday
  • Met a lot of cool people
  • Let cute girls and cool guys sign my backpack
  • Learned a lot of japanese
  • Watched the biggest firework of tokyo
  • Took the shinkansen
  • Went to Shizuoka
  • Watched the new ghibli movie called “Ponyo”, all in japanese
  • Played pachinko, Tekken and other arcade games
  • Played darts and pool in shibuya
  • Slept a few hours in a mac donalds
  • Created a new group on facebook called “Shibuya backstreet Boys” :)
  • :)

Enjoy!

Food, Party, Keitai and so on

Nice post title huh? :D

About the food: I love japanese food, there’s nothing i can do against it. Of course i don’t like everything but i found way too much kind of food i like here.
From today i will start a new food-serie. I’ll post everytime a photo of the restaurant from the outside and one or two pictures of the meal.

On the first picture it’s japanese curry with vegetables. Eaten at Curry House C&C next to the West Exit of Ikebukuro Station.
2nd picture: Kotsuteri (こつてり) ramen. Ate that 6.30am sunday morning. I have no idea about the name of the restaurant. It’s on the opposite side of the street from Bar Mania in Roppongi.

The last few days i was struggling getting a nihon keitai…
Softbank sells the best prepaid phones so far, that’s why i tried to get one of them. No luck for me and everyone else because softbank’s prepaid phones are sold out everywhere :(
Saturday i felt a bit down because i still wasn’t able to get a phone but neko never gives up and tried the store in omotesando. They have english speaking staff and all are very friendly.
Same story here “almost” :) : we’re sorry but it’s sold out, did he say to me. BUT you can get a prepaid usim-card and order the prepaid phone. We call you when your phone arrives at our store.

Oh and no need for an ARC ( Alien registration Card ) I showed them my passport, Confirmation Letter of the School and explained that i will extend my current “visa” from 90 days to 180 days.

If you would like to call me then please do so :) Here’s the number: +818033571275

I hope my keitai will arrive soon because with the prepaid usim-card i cannot send emails with my swiss phone, that’s the only bad thing…

and finally a few words about the parties:
Friday i wanted to go to Club Atom. Well i went there but couldn’t enter because i was wearing 3/4 pants…
Big turn-off. I took the train back to ikebukuro and stayed at the hotel drinking chu-hi. :D
Saturday i met with Yuki-chan in roppongi, Bar Mania.
bar-Mania is definitely my favorite bar in Roppongi. The Bar-staff and the boss are very cool and easy. The music is ok.
Yuki had to leave around 22:00h so i went to Club Flower. 1000Yen entrance fee with 2 drinks. I had already a nice party at club flower last year but this time it was boring. Only Hip-Hop and RnB at both floors… and 90% of the crowd: GUYS :(
So went back to Bar Mania and stayed the night there. Met a lot of nice people: Eddie Murphy (the real one i swear!), Watanabe-kun ( the japanese Silent Bob ), Chihiro ( sweet girl… i called her “aho” that means “stupid”. She had a funny looking strain of hair and i was thinking you call that “aho”… don’t ask me why.
Oh and there was Mister Rob! Polska Power :) It’s cool to meet someone who is also interested in photography. I think i could learn a lot from Rob, he has done some awesome photos.

Ok OVER and OUT.
More news soon.

PS.
Sorry for the crappy layout… WP 2.5.1 seems to have a very annoying bug when using NextGenGallery, which makes it impossible to center images… nice!!!! :(

PS2.
Fixed it… LOL. It’s only working with <p align=”center”> and not with the standard <p style=”text-align: center;”> wordpress uses… great :D

HobbyLinkJapan order arrived!!!

Posted by neko under Anime, Figures, Photography, kawaii ne

Yattaaaaaaaa~
Saturday morning, 7:30h, i arrived at home from work and guess what was waiting on my bed??? Nooooooo not a naked girl you pervert!!!!! MY big HLJ pakettooooooooo :)

That’s what i ordered:

Nendoroid Haruhi Suzumiya - ¥2,857 (GoodSmileCompany)
Nendoroid Yuki Nagato - ¥2,857 (GoodSmileCompany)
Haruhi Suzumiya PVC - ¥3,800 (MaxFactory)
Ryomou Shimei Ama-Lolita PVC - ¥6,476 (OrchidSeed)

It was a long time since i ordered any kind of figures, good thing, a sign that my otakuness is getting back to “normal” :D . I ordered those figures because i didn’t want to buy them in japan, since they take a lot of space and shipping them myself from there won’t cost me less.

Here’s my order in pictures:

HLJ OrderHL

I think i gonna review the Nendoroid stuff first, what do you think?
