Chapter 6.2.2: Ano toki kaeritai na... (I wanna go back to that time...)
Continueing from the previous post~
Day 2
I got up quite early and head off to the train station from Nanba to Kyoto. Took the shinkansen named "Asama" (if i'm not mistaken) from Osaka to Kyoto. The ride took about an hour to get to Kyoto and to my surprise, Kyoto isn't as what I pictured it would be. As to my knowledge, Kyoto is supposed to be a place filled with traditional japanese houses, not a city. But I guess, we can't assume things and things DO change in time. We got ourselves checked into the Kyoto Royal Hotel and Spa. As for today's accomodation, I got a room all to myself for 8,000 yen a night. Basically I can't say much about Kyoto as I slept most of my time there. But while I was in Kyoto, I bought some charms and in the end lost it (~.~). I thought that'll be the first and last place i'd be careless. Basically all I did there was window-shopping at the long streets in Kyoto (forgot the street's name). Then after that I head towards the hotel back alone and slept from 7pm till the next morning. I got up early the next morning at around 7am and went out alone to have my breakfast. Well the whole day started up alright till I went into the restaurant. Theres these 3 japanese punks, who came in and kinda screw the day up. It all went well until my food came. I wanted to show my friends the food served there so I decided to take out my camera and catch a pic of the food. But then I had problems taking it as my camera doesn't seem to work close range. Then this punk started shouting facing towards me saying "Kora, nani attenda!? Nani o tottenda!? Kimochi waruizo, sasato kiero!" a rough translation to what he said is "Hey, what the hell are you doing? What the hell are you taking picture of? I'm disgusted, get out of my sight!". Truth to be said, I was a bit scared as I was alone and god knows what those 3 could've done to me. So then I kept my camera into my bag and acted calm as though nothing happened. The waiter there was begging those 3 guys not to make trouble in the shop and then he came towards me and told me sorry. Then after when they left, the waiter came to my table and said "Okyaku-san sumimasen!" translate as "Dear guest, i'm sorry!" then I told him that its ok and do not worry about it. Then later on I went back to the hotel and discovered "Pay TV" (lolz). All you need to do is put in a card that you can purchase nearby the elevator for 1,000 yen and you can have excess for a limited time to their adult channel and movie channel (xD). I didn't pay for it but somehow they got previews (lolz). Then at about 3pm, we left from Kyoto, headed towards to Tokyo. At Tokyo, the hotel that we stayed is called Continental Hotel (and yes... another painful 4~5 star hotel which cost me about 6,000 yen a night sharing a room with my uncle and auntie). So then once we were there, we went to Ginza and Shibuya, looking for Uncle Mike's fishing stuff. While we were in Shibuya, I somehow passed by some superstars. How'd I know? Theres this camera guys from some television company and on the other side of the bridge were lots of japanese school girls shouting from the other side to my side. I didn't know what was going on but then I got the pics of those chicks that was famous there (though I don't know who they are xD). Uncle Mike got his reel and then we later on had dinner. After dinner, we headed towards Akihabara (also known as Akiba). Akiba is called as an "Electrical City" as the whole of that town is filled with lights and Akiba is also well known for their Anime, Manga, Cosplays and AVs (lolz). During that time as I went, the anime shop was promoting "Lucky Star", one of the latest anime they had in Japan. Their stores had about 8 floors including the basement one. The first floor which is the entrance to the shop, is filled with animes, the basement floor is filled with anime hentais, as for the 2nd floor and above, its all AVs softcore, hardcore, all kinds of porn, you name it they got it (lolz). Then later on we head back to the hotel and before getting back to the hotel, there's this small stall where this stall's specialty is Green Curry Ramen. He got this idea from Thailand as Thai people eats Green Curry. Unfortunately at that time most of us were full and Uncle Mike bought the whole lot of chicken wings. So then there were two men there drinking and eating, saying in english that the food there is great. As the rest were eating, those two men spoke to me and ask me stuffs like where I come from and etc. So then later on they asked me a question, "Why come to Japan? Other than the fact that you're travelling" I then told them in Japanese "Nihon wa boku no yume nandakara!" translates as "Because Japan is my dream!". They startled awhile and then smiled. At that time, I thought that it was cool saying it (^^). Then we got back to the hotel and had a rest
