You might want to think again when you visit Ginza. It's not literally called "Silver mint" for nothing. The amount of branded products probably amount to the number of stars in the sky, and the prices are insane. It's in the 100k yens. That's thousands here for the cheapest item in the store. Yeah, rich people think twice before buying stuff here. That's how hardcore that is.
The stores have elaborate and elegant designs, so much that you can feel the "expensive aura" from a street away. When you step in you either have a sudden sense of insignificance because you know you can't afford anything in there (Probably never will) or you have a uncomfortable sense of familarity because you come here every week and there's nothing new to buy (Oh you lucky bastard). I must say, the trip down there wasn't a waste at all. Now I want to make enough money to be able to shop there for clothes. I'm going to enslave myself to a job that is punishing and unsatisfying so I can purchase these riddiculously-priced goods.
I must say, so far the "Technique is everything" theory is working... for GF that is. I have been grinding Level 70+ songs. Didn't get any extra stages, but switching and double picking had noticable improvements. All I need to do is carry on the grind and 1.5k SP should be just a reach away.
CA bitched about spending money...when I was going to eat outside. And I'm not talking about expensive five star gourmet meals, I'm refering to the 500 yen Katsu-don (Fried pork-bowl). The most expensive thing I've eaten here so far is bbq meat, and she insisted that I eat that when I first arrived. No one put a gun at her head to do it. So she doesn't have the right to force me to eat bread at home. To hell with her bullshit, I ate outside anyway. I can never get bored of Japanese food.
The Tokyo rail interchange is shitfucking huge. Even with my lightning walking speed, it took me 15 minutes to get to another end. The station was filled with loads of people with luggages, some of them were holding bags and bags of Disneyland purchases (Disneyland is a few stops away). I'm not going into Disneyland ever again, the ticket costs more than a bomb, there's nothing in there and I hate Disney. I hate it even more now after they started signing on JB and bought over Marvel characters. They are slowly corrupting my interests one by one. Vile monsters.
I never knew Dunhill sold other things other than cigarettes. Apparently they have a store in Ginza and they sell clothes. Interesting.
I killed time in a music store, listening to new releases. Every Little Thing has a new single, and I'm definately getting it. I saw some other albums that I'm interested it. I have no idea why music is so expensive here, and the Japanese have to shove in a DVD to jack up the price. I guess they love to have the entire pakage, they want nothing less.
The reputable toy store was dissapointing. The travel guide I was reading said that it had a collection of up to ten thousand toys. Sure, it had some rare stuff, but it didn't carry the leg pillow I was looking for, neither did I see the boob pillow. Fuck, I was so looking forward to buying one home and sleeping on it. Princess told me to save the money and sleep on her lap. I told that pig to fuck off. I'm not going to sleep on the fucking lap. It's wrong on so many levels.
It was quite an experience in Loterria, a version of Macdonals. When I tried to order in broken Japanese, the waitress automatically switched to English. Wow, I have never gotten Gaijin Treatment in a fast food joint. It was pretty funny, but usefull as hell at the same time. This is why I love Japanese fast food stores. Excellent customer service coupled with pretty waitresses and a smoking area IN the store.
I detest Americans even more now. I thought they were just ignorant and...intellectually challenged. Turns out they are obnoxious and annoying as well. This bunch of cyclists were cycling in Ginza, when they stopped in front of the traffic light they started conversing at the top of their voices and yelling "I am from AMERICA!" I was tempted to insult them as they cycled off but I don't know if the Japanese will gang up with them and kill me. I'm going to do that when I come over with Kok and all.
*Don't give me the shit that I'm generalizing and being overly assuming. You reflect your origin, so too bad for you if you are American. Blame your black sheep.
