this was another game where you play with cards you buy. pretty cool you put the whole stack in and they read what equipment you play with 

this one had big balls and they would guess what number would come up. very popular as you can see 

you can see more of those music games with those big drums on the right 

they have a lot of these kind of music games like this drum one where you hit the right pad when the light moves. Some of the people were just amazing at them 

these "grab the toy in the claws that hold nothing" games are all over the place 

virtual horse racing! What is the world comming to 

these coin pusher games are really addictive 

All over Tokyo there are these game parlors where people spend hours playing games. I thought this one was really cool. Its a soccer game where you get player cards and you put them in the positions where you want them to play. The cards you own are the people that play on your team. Oh by the way I have no idea who this guy is. 

Tokyu Hands? I don't know either 

oooooh toe socks fun!! 

I am always looking for some good leg fashion 

big chair 

Later that day we went back to Ikebukuro to wonder around and found these poor guys caught with their pants down 

I find that the Japanese have some of the best arcitechture 

Michelle and I decided to go on this roller coaster the Japanese call them jet coasters and this one had a particularly terrifying name..... "Thunder Dolphin" I know, I almost did not go. 

They had some really cool shops at Tokyo Dome with all these little plants everywhere 

Its a moon-in-ite!!! (Aquateen Hunger Force People) 

They say Japan is a leader in fashion but I dont really like where they are leading us! 

I looked into getting one of those cool spandex suits but they only come in Japanese sizes. 

Michelle was really excited to see these guys so I said fine why not I mean they make those really cool hand guestures. 

ok so it has been a long while since I put put new pictures but I have been real busy doing research. So where is a picture of a hotel by Tokyo Dome where Michelle and myself went to on one of our days off. 

more art work 

Michelle helped me cut my hair. It was her fisrt time she was so proud. I thought I would show you 

so here is another picture of Mt Fuji but this is from the lab that we work at 

near our appartment there happen to be a lot of small veggie farms like this one
