One awesome thing I found today on the way to the station was something Steve hadn't found in the last six months, freaking Pepsi! It tasted slightly different and seemed a little bit sweeter. Coke seems to be the larger staple soft drink here. Which reminds me of the ads around Tokyo for "Boss Rainbow Coffee" with Tommy Lee Jone's old ass on them.
We then took a two hour bus ride to Tokyo after breakfast and we drove by Square Enix's character goods shop so we backtracked and tried to hit it up but they're only open a few days a week and tomorrow is a holiday so they were closed today.
On the way there I made Steve and the other US exchange student, Patrick, go into an arcade with me so I could play Street Fighter 4. Tekken 6 was there was well and looked great seeing as it was being played on a special HD arcade station, unlike the Street Fighter 4 machine.
We then took a short train ride and had to make one station change. I have to go ahead and say at this point is that being a gaijin (foreigner) you get an assload of stares even in Tokyo. The majority of which don't seem to be very nice looks, one guy even honked at me and Steve earlier to day as we were walking to the station. After the train we pretty much found the NINJA easily and they were very helpul at checkin. Steve and I paid 200 for the both of us in a private bunk bed room which isn't exactly spacious but it's secure and the AC is sweet. Mind you my half was only about 100 bucks (which actually I covered the 10% deposit a month ago and didn't ask Steve for anything in return) for three nights stay, it's very clean here and as I said before the staff is very nice and helpful.
