I'd just like to apologies for not posting as much lately. As you might have noticed by the countdown clock to the right, Dissident and I are about to reek havoc on Japan once again, and I've been busy getting ready. Not that I've been worrying about packing this soon; I usually just throw some crap in a suitcase the night before. There are, however, a lot of logistical things to worry about. For one, We had some nights with no hotels booked, so we had to figure that out. Another thing you have to do when going to Japan is to print yourself out a butt-load of English maps of the places you want to go to and also the train and subway systems because once you are there all the towns on the maps are in Japanese and who the fuck has the mental capacity and free time to memorize odd little symbols for every place they want to visit. Having an English map of the subway and train system is the difference between a good time and a bad time; I want to have a good time. I haven't even got around to figuring out the places I want to visit this year, except for the Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park to see a scale size gundam robot (last year our quest was Godzilla, this year it's giant robots). Oh, and Mt. Fuji is there too. Dissident wants to go to some club called Gas Panic that you MUST drink in or else they boot you out. Beyond that we haven't even figured out what we are going to do. Oh, and Dissident wants to see Tokyo Tower, which he missed last visit. The tower looks like the Eiffel Tower, but it's orange and slightly taller. Also, It has a mascot that looks like a giant pick condom with a Bandaid on it. I dunno. I love Japan.

Anyway, I'll write some really profound shit sooner or later.

Sayonara,

Here is Tokyo Tower:
