Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Sure, but the act is her livelihood. She's done well with it.

osaka is worth it. especially dottonbori. dendentown is however not worth it in comparison to akihabara.
also visit amanohashidatte and/or kinosaki onsen

As I said before, if it's organised for the first week in September, I'm all for it. If it's in the Tokyo area.again, we need to get some sort of tag people can wear around Tokyo so some of us stalkers can say hi
(or , you know, we could prearrange something lol)
She's much better in her natural black hair form and without the fake accent obviously.. I'd take Jun or Meisa over her though.

Did they chase you out with a map to the gift shop location?
Book off is a good place to startHere's another random question for you guys: What places should I visit to pick up a couple of light novels? Even though I know my current knowledge of japanese won't be enough to read them without constantly looking words up in a dictionary, I'd love to pick some up while I'm in Japan since ordering them would be a real hassle due to Argentina's current import restrictions.
Since I read that they cost around 600 yen per tome, I figured I'd probably be looking to pick up two full series: Umineko no naku koro ni and Kokoro Connect. Are these two still easy enough to find that I'd be able to get them without much effort, or should I go looking for specific shops to get my hands on them? Both new and used copies would probably be fine with me, in case that matters.
Ok guys I am welcoming you into my life of last minute.com planning.
I leave tomorrow for China, and arrive in Japan in 2 weeks. I have planned NOTHING for Japan, just my tickets. Flying into Osaka and flying out of Tokyo. How long should I spend in Tokyo Ideally? (1 Week total in Japan).
I am going to the Japan centre at 2:00pm (London) to buy a Jrail Pass - I didn't know I had to buy before I left!
My life is so disorganized... Ugghh!

Nice tip! Their site's store locator is a bit hard to navigate with all the regions being written in kanji, but I guess I can always check Jisho.org to guess the kanji of the place I'll be staying at.
Regarding housing, I've checked that I'll be taking the Keiyo Line to attend to the TGS, but a quick Sakura House search returned no places that were near a stop from that line. Is connecting two or more train lines and coordinating their arrival/departure times easy to the point where I can choose any Sakura House that's around a station and get to and from the TGS in a timely manner, or should I look for specific places that offer the least number of required line swaps?

Just wanted to say I love the thread. I am thinking of going next year with some friends and all this info will be very helpful. Won't be my first time outside of the US but it has been a long time since I have flown or visited anywhere.
Do you think $3,500 is a decent budget for 1 person for a week/week and a half? I checked flights from my area (Eastern US) to Tokyo and it looks like $1500 to $2000 just for the flight alone. I want to make sure I have enough to enjoy myself and shop for goodies here and there.
Plan to go to Tokyo, Akihabara and other sights. This is all very early so I am just thinking of getting a budget goal.
We are looking at September October time so hopefully it shouldn't be to bad.
What's my best course of action for SMS or must I rely on LINE and email?
Use apps like TextPlus or Viber, and let them know when you text them that it's you.
Source: Me, I used TextPlus and it worked fine
So these are apps that will send a text on my behalf? Yay technology! I'll check that out, thanks.
Yes, free texting and calling to some degree. They work via Wi-Fi/mobile data, though.
When do shops start opening up again after New Year's?
Fly out tomorrow. This is me right now:

Hopefully the typhoon doesn't impact my flight, but it does look like it might rain for a week. Should, at the very least make Summer Sonic and Mt. Fuji interesting.

I'm a bit jelly, I couldn't get Saturday and Sunday off work. Have fun at Summer Sonic!
Just going Saturday. Which is a bummer because I bought my ticket before Queen was announced to play on Sunday.
Yeah, it's a pretty phenomenal lineup they have this year. Which stages do you plan on hitting?
Does anyone know if the Nintendo 3DS LL works with US- or EU-games?
I have a chance to get it super cheaper in Japan.

My teacher says March is beautiful because of the season, but I don't think I'll be able to go that soon.
PS BronsonLee: I found my permanent Japanese SIM after all. I now have my own telephone number in Japan, and I can SMS when I'm in Japan for 12 cents per message. Was only 35 bucks.
Gives me peace of mind in case I need to contact my friends but don't have data available at the moment
