Asakusa<\/h3>\n
We went to Sensouji<\/a> near Asakusa Station in the morning. I tried the omikuji<\/em><\/a>. It took forever for a stick to fall out, but my fortune is apparently good.<\/p>\n Next stop, Nakano Broadway<\/a>. I already covered this place in a previous<\/a> entry so I shall save the explanations. More pictures!<\/p>\n I spent the afternoon alone wandering around Shinjuku. I walked around 4km. I bought a light novel called Bungaku Shoujo to Shinitagari no Piero<\/strong><\/a> (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e6\u2013\u2021\u00e5\u00ad\u00a6\u00e5\u00b0\u2018\u00e5\u00a5\u00b3\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e3\u0081\u00a8\u00e6\u00ad\u00bb\u00e3\u0081\u00ab\u00e3\u0081\u0178\u00e3\u0081\u0152\u00e3\u201a\u0160\u00e3\u0081\u00ae\u00e9\u0081\u201c\u00e5\u0152\u2013). I have no idea what it is about, but I bought it anyway because I liked the little prose in the page before the prologue, and because it’s in some kind of “Top 10” list so it has to be somewhat decent.<\/p>\n Shinjuku Station is about the size of a small city with exits that are hundreds of metres apart. It’s a hell load of walking.<\/p>\n Shinjuku Station is the busiest train station in the world with over 3.3 million passengers a day.<\/p>\n Finally, I met with Don777<\/a> in Akihabara. He’s a pretty nice guy, especially since he likes Maaya too. He brought me to @home cafe<\/a> and Cafe with Cat<\/a> (Toranoana’s new cafe). Cafe with Cat seems to be a pretty standard maid cafe deal except with cat-inspired uniforms instead of maid costumes, whereas @home is definitely on the manic side of things. The waitress who brought us our drinks actually did this heart-sign action to inject a “mo\u00c3\u00a9” flavour.<\/p>\n But I shall not go into that because I am falling asleep anytime now… A few more pictures and we are done.<\/p>\n Fortune Arterial<\/strong> is the latest game by August, the makers of Yoake Mae yori Ruri-iro na<\/strong>. Basically it’s the exact same game except the hair colours get shuffled around a bit and the Feena-lookalike is a loli. It’s also the most anticipated upcoming game according to Comptiq magazine, so expect it to sell a gazillion copies and be turned into a cabbage<\/span><\/a> an anime.<\/p>\n Well, that’s it for today. I need sleep.<\/p>\n By the way, in case you didn’t know yet, all the photos (and more) can be found in my photo gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am so tired… I want to just drop dead and die, but here are some pictures. I think I walked about 6km in total today. A fire engine just drove by. I wonder where it’s heading to. But anyway, … Continue reading <\/a>
