Dinner with Friends

The past couple of days have been a lot of fun; we spent Thursday in Nakano, where there's a big pedestrian mall-thing called Sun Plaza. We've been there before, and will likely go there again, because there are several stores full of manga, figures, and even anime cels! It rained for most of the day, but we still managed to enjoy ourselves.

We ran around Akihabara in the evening, which accomplished nothing, though I did get to visit my favorite store, Super Potato. The rain was making us miserable at that point, so we didn't bother buying anything.

Friday was spent hanging out with Kari's caricature artist friends, all of whom were awesome. We had lunch with Kage Nakanishi, who runs Caricature Japan, and then walked around the shrines and temples of Asakusa.

In the evening, we met up with Tomo Tabata and some other friends at Tokyo Tower, and then headed over to an izakaya for dinner. Everyone was great, and we had a fantastic time. I kind of felt like crap when we got back to the hotel, but it eventually passed.

We've got plenty of pictures to share, but no way of doing so. I was hoping to find an SD card adapter for the iPad somewhere, but haven't had any luck yet. We'll keep looking, though.

Once again, there's nothing good on TV.
