One more for the road.

Well I did end up heading into Tokyo Sunday. I took the train to a spot just outside Shinjuku called Nakano. Nakano has been heralded elsewhere as a "second Akihabara". Of couse I had to go check it out before I left. Unfortunately comparing Nakano to Akihabara is like saying a moped is like a Ferrari because they're both awesome and both have wheels. I suppose Nakano has it's points, but I was less than impressed. After touring around for a bit I decided to walk back to Shinjuku instead of taking the train (I seem to do that a lot...) Long story short, when I got to Shinjuku station I found a sign again which I had thought to be lost. I've told some of you about this sign, for the rest of you... This is a typo on a billboard style map in Shinjuku station:

After I got off in Fujisawa, walking past the KFC towards the apartment I saw this:

And that's it from Japan. I'll most likely add one or two more posts when I get back to the States. After that I'll be archiving this blog as I did with my last one. I'll be doing a redesign of the layout of this site. The web address will stay the same but with a new look and assumedly new content.

For now I leave you with this. Taken today showing the awesome weather on my last full day in Japan:

Jaa Mata Ne.
