<p>Well, it begins. I&#39;m not sure if I&#39;ll do another travelogue anytime soon, because I honestly don&#39;t like traveling a lot of the time. I&#39;d much prefer to stay home. New surroundings, people, food, and being away from my dad on top of that stresses me out a good bit. But my older brother really wanted to go, and my mom said we should once and never again (at least she doesn&#39;t want to come back here), and so dragged me along. Now, I&#39;m not mad about that at all; at least I can enjoy myself knowing fate is what dragged me here and not have to ruminate on whether or not I should&#39;ve stayed home. </p>

<p>We took an early morning flight (or maybe a late-night flight?) at about 3 am to Narita. I drank a Red Bull right before the trip because I needed the energy to sustain myself on the plane (I don&#39;t want to be tired on a plane; I can&#39;t sleep in one and I would probably just writhe in my seat like a worm). It was a 9 and a half hour flight from DXB, the longest I think I&#39;ve been in in ages, and I spent about half of it just replaying Cave Story for the... 10th? time. We arrived at about 5 pm JST and got to our hotel in Ginza. While my mom, sister and brother went out for dinner, I just went to bed; they slept on the plane while I didn&#39;t, sleep was a lot more important to me than food, and given my gut-brain axis was all out of whack at that point in time, I wasn&#39;t hungry anyway. </p>

<p>Today was somewhat eventful. Tokyo&#39;s being hit with a typhoon at the moment though I think it&#39;s subsided; the wind and rain were both absolutely mad. Reminds me of Dubai about 2 years ago when we had that insane flood, though the infrastructure in Tokyo was quite well equipped to handle it and there wasn&#39;t much of a flood, just tons of rain. So, while we did go places, we didn&#39;t walk around much. We stopped at Yodobashi Camera first in Akiba, not much to say. Then we went down to Book Off where I picked up about 9 Famicom games and had great fun looking for stuff. I got City Connection, Seicross, BurgerTime (I love my early 3rd gen gaming, after all), but also Ganbare Goemon Gaiden: Kieta Ōgon Kiseru and Double Dragon 2, those are the ones in memory; I got more.</p>

<p>We also stopped at a few small stores. Saw Chrono Trigger for the DS and it playing on a TV in a small game store, so I said something like &quot;Chrono Trigger, that&#39;s the best game ever!&quot; before my little sister retorts with &quot;That&#39;s just your opinion.&quot; and ever the troll, I replied &quot;It&#39;s the truth. No one who&#39;s played it has said it sucks; look at you with your over 200 hours in Dead By Daylight deciding which games are good.&quot; Definitely going back to Akiba, though, when stuff dies down; I hope to do the massive Steins;Gate pilgrimage extravaganza when I do, as well as visit some of the stores that only specialize in retro-games. I&#39;d like to pick up some PC-Engine stuff. Possibly Pac-Land, I think the TG-16/PCE port is probably the best one out of all of the ports. </p>

<p>Ended the day with a meal at a halal ramen place in Ginza. I had the chicken karaage, my sister had spicy beef ramen, my mom had tempura shrimp and gyoza. The chicken karaage was great stuff, though the new flavors were still a bit scary to me. They were good though, it&#39;s just that I&#39;m not used to new flavors and textures and I&#39;m somewhat picky even if I like what I&#39;m eating. However, I had ramune to drink and the stuff was literally like crack. I might say it&#39;s one of the best-tasting soft drinks I&#39;ve ever had. I had two glasses of the stuff. I had the blueberry one, it tasted like bubble gum, which I love. Wish I could get this stuff back home without it costing my kidney, I might literally stock up on them. </p>

<p>We hit up Donki after that, which was quite insane. I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever been in a supermarket that was so... visually loud. I got a good few boxes of matcha KitKat and I had an entire box of them... guilty, but I&#39;m on vacation, baby, who cares? I got the blueberry cheesecake ones too, haven&#39;t had them yet. I got a Gengar trapper hat from there which is pretty cool, as well as a Boo and Shy Guy plushie. </p>

<p>All in all, so far, Tokyo&#39;s pretty fun.</p>
