Working out how much change I can dump into the top up machine. Always fun when you have too much even though most places accept card now or even just Google Pay. Don't know if the latter charges a fee too though. Shame the top-up machines only take so much change and no 1 or 10 yen coins so my wallet didn't get much lighter... Was a quiet...
Sunday, another busy morning for catering. Makes me wonder if Japanese people like staycations during weekends. Clear sunny day so you can see Mount Fuji from the hotel if your room was facing that way. Was planning to spend the day browsing around Akihabara. Still on the quest for a cheaper Figma Pokemon Red that doesn't cost £200, 5x...
Decided to sit somewhere different today instead of facing Ueno Park, now same view as my room. Almost forgot my key card this morning ^^; Plan was to tour Weathering with You spots around Tabata and Shinjuku but very heavy rain. Weather Girl must be off today but might still manage to take photos and videos with umbrella in one hand. UK...
Not such an early start today since I'm just walking around Tokyo to tour some more Shinkai movie spots; mix of Weathering with You/Tenki no Ko and Your Name. People sure finish their breakfast quickly, a lot of business people in suits. View feels pointless when you're doing that. You might as well just be surrounded by paintings imo....
Thought I'd sleep like a log since couldn't sleep on the plane but only actually managed an hour. Upside was I forgot to set the camera's time so the time lapse wouldn't have happened if I didn't get up to correct it. Cloudy so no sun visible but not bad. Had breakfast around half 7 before setting out. Dropped down to get a new SIM I saw in 7...

Strange incidents are happening around Shibuya known as "New Generation Madness (New Gen)". Takumi Nishijou (Taku) is a nerd who isn't interested in the real world and spends most of this time playing MMORPGs online inside his cargo container "base". He often has sensual delusions about girls he meets while going about his daily...
After the honest life didn't work out for him, Makoto Edamura decides to become a swindler as people have been accusing him to be one when he found a job at a shady company. Now his ambition was to become the best and richest in Japan but, one day while trying to scam a foreign tourist named Laurent he meets his match and almost gets...
Haven't been to a Scotland Loves Animation for several years now but kept an eye out for Weathering with You this year since the disc release is probably still a long way off. It was pretty much a given since the event screened Your Name the last time before disc release. I dropped into GFT to buy a ticket on the same day the organisers...
I was inspired to do this post after realising how many locations I recognised from shows and games I've played after visiting Japan. You will probably too once you've been since so many fictional works are based on real life locations and the great thing is you won't have to go out of your way to find these places unlike say Makoto...
