So I got back from Japan yesterday and overall it was a worthwhile experience. Obviously like every experience there are good and bad. Things that could have gone better:
1. The night life. Because the subways close at midnight you have to get back to the place of your hotel before the trains close or sleep on the street, which from what I heard is not that uncommon. So unless you are staying at a high priced hotel you have to try and find something nearby. Also instead of having open bars you go to a bar in groups and get your own room. This makes the night life difficult for visitors.
2. The language beerier. I feel that if I new the language the experience would have been better. This was not really a negative as much as it was just that the experience could have been better if I knew the language.
3. Wi-Fi/IMessage. In Japan all the Wi-Fi you have to sign up for. If I would have known about this I would have done so. This made it so I could not get a hold of the friend that I have who was living there, so we were unable to meet up. Probably should have made some plans before we left. Even when i found some Wi-Fi I could not get IMessage to work. So I have a bone to pick with apple to understand what happened.
Things that went great:
1. Asian women everywhere! Yea that was great. Though I did not get with one, see the bad stuff for an explanation. Also I think because it was me and my brother, two 6' 4" Americans, I think we may have intimidated some people.
2. The anime and arcades. There is anime everywhere. Also a lot of which was One Piece. That was awesome. On the One Piece note Chopper is like the most popular character. The arcades are way better there then the ones that we have in America. The electronics district also known as Akihabara was awesome, and if anyone is interested in a maid cafe that is where you can find one it was awesome. Out of all the arcades that we went to I think the one in Fukuoka was the best.
Going to have to find an easy way to get pictures on here on a later post.
