friezaess | Stupid brat kicking the back of my seat for 9 hours...

Today was pure shit. I am not happy. Not at all.

Okay, so let's not over-dramatise this... being stuck lugging appx. 25 kilos of luggage 1km is an amusing holiday story, I guess. And so is having a stranger look you up and down several times and then FOLLOWING YOU AS YOU WALK AROUND IN CIRCLES until you manage to lose him in a crowd... I'm sure that'll be hillarious in a few months.

I'm just not in a very good mood today. Tokyo is very, very overwhelming. Osaka was great! I was kind of lacking in the map department, so I spent countless hours trying to figure out where I was. It took me an hour to find my hotel thanks to a horrible, horrible map. (Guess who used a vending machine as a landmark?)

Staying in a Capsule Hotel is something everyone has to do before they die. It's like being in a cosy little coffin equipped with pay-per-view.

Japanese toilets are everything they say they are and more. So much more. Stupid in-built water-squirty-rapey-thing... it gave me the fright of my life, causing me to jump, causing FREAKING HOT water to spray everywhere :( It buuuuuuuurns.

I spent most of my time roaming around Shinsaibashi and Namba (I thought about hopping on a train elsewhere but the shopping kept me there). The FREAKING MASSIVE kilometer-long shopping arcade was sweet. They had some Antenna boots I really wish I'd bought :/ (I got some kickass MaryJanes instead XD)

Whoever the bastard was who decided to put my hotel in the middle of Osaka's EGL shopping district must be castrated with a meat hook. I spent a quater of my money in one day :( I'd already picked up some funky (non-loli) streetwear when BAM! BTSSB appears one block from my hotel. The girls wern't very friendly (unlike the awesome ladies at Kera shop who won my heart... we talked about various crap in our respective bastardised Japlish/Engrish and they gave me a free wallet and hula dance o.o). Oh well, I still blew an ungodly amount of money there.

METEMORPHOSE WAS TEH PHAIL!!! The girls were scary and the shop was tiny and you couldn't escape their murderous gaze... *hides*

Eh, all of this probably doesn't mean an awful lot... um... you guys wanna know about Akihabara? You can't see the stars in the sky because the lights are so bright. "Cruel Angel's Thesis" was blaring from various shops. There's a multi-level complex specialising in maids outfits and the like. That's as far as I was game to wander from the trainstation of a night time.

I attempted to navigate Tokyo but barely got outside the station. I want to be out exploring instead of wasting time in a hotel... I'm normally more adventurous than this :/ It's just... really scary... and I don't wanna go out and be lost for 3 hours again... not of a night :(
