The japan trip so far

August 11th

Just waiting at the airport and being nervous had me churning and excited for when i had landed in japan….As soon as i was settled in the plane…I just passed out…just to keep my sleeping order in check…and went in and out of sleep because I knew My sleeping pattern would be butchered to all hell when i landed.

(6:14 amJP)
3 Hrs into the flight and im nervous , excited and everything inbetween.. I honestly can say that i cant wait to land.. im watching a few movies and will most likely play some final fantasy 7 while time passes. the good thing is instead of landing at 5 ill be in japan about 4:15pm JP which is great because meeting up with phire sooner will be alot easier. Hopefully we can get more game time in as well. I dont feel tired or fatigued atm… im feening to see what a japanese arcade looks like though. the only thing closest to a japanese arcade was tokyo game action (R.I.P) but experiencing japan will be the greatest thing ever…I hope to see some famous faces and places..hopefully hit up a club or two..SBA alone will be an experience itself…

So right now its about 1 in the afternoon in japan and im still flying in…this flight was not as grueling as i anticipated..I ended up watching a bunch of movies such as Watchmen , Killshot , and more than blue (awesome korean drama flick i highly reccomend it) Considering that this airline slim dicked me (put me in the middle of the seats) I have no other complaints. I’m a little fatigued but as soon as i land ill be able to shake it off and stretch out EVERYTHING… I’m curious to know how the drinks differ from japan to the US I also really hope we run into Lukemorse and hang out with him.. It’d be flippin awesome if he invited us over to “pop some games in and play some of that” I might also buy a super famicom from him as a souvenier for myself…I gotta go shot glass hunting for everyone LMAO. As soo as i land in Tokyo Narita I have to hit up the keisei skyliner then head into Ueno and make my way to ayome itchome and head to the hotel…My thoughts are all in jumbles at the moment…I dunno whether to be excited , scared , happy , or all of the above so ill try my best to do a combination of all of them within a few hours Ill fill everyone in on whats going on in the land of the rising sun..

Japan is much more cleaner and beautiful then I imagines.. it will definitely take some getting used to especially with the cute japanese femal clerks everywhere…I love it so far…Note to self..make sure to do currency exchange in japan/location of travel.. US currency tellers are retarded.. oh yeah CC lemon soda is so godlike

18:55
Reality kicked in as soon as i saw the cars driving on the left side of the road…Holy shit…im in japan

19:00
I met up with phire at Ueno and we proceeded to the hotel location…Jeez these subways and streets are clean.. We then headed to Don quiote cause phire wanted munchies and he took me to Vortex… a japanese arcade in roppongi (like 5 blocks from our hotel LOL) For a “Shitty arcade” this place made CF look like gutter trash..no BS..one problem.. NO SF4??? WTF?? meh..no biggie…

Shinjuku + Harajuku
Phire and I headed to shinjuku for some sights and locations.. we hit up a small arcade in the area and then played some SF4..can you say FREE WINS??? My ryu put in work…I kinda got bashful and nervous when phire said “YEAH BEAST DO WORK SON LETS GO”… I beat a viper player a few times and gave him a run for his money when he beat me once…after that..he got bodied. We then headed to a pachi slot club sega arcade OMG SOOO PRETTY!!!.. We then headed to mandrake…an anime / manga/ collecors shop in shinjuku…afterwards we walked to Harajuku…I bought myself a new ear stud & a thumb ring…can you say beast is pimpin? YES I AM!!.. We then headed to an arcade in baba right of the 160 line. This arcade is AMAZING…and apparently one of the nicer arcades in japan.. I managed to beat a japanese kazuya player in T6 BR…my confidence and skill level was just going higher and higher…There was a SF4 5v5 tourney which justin , arturo and others entered and they got dicked sideways while they were winning….fucked up? i think so….me and phire headed back to shinjuku after the guys from the US lost and played some arcade games…Im surprised there was a strength test machine with hajime no ippo in it…I played house of D and i have my deck and ID card for it if i decide to go to vortex later.
