yu was telling me on the boat ride over to odaiba that she wanted to take me back to old tokyo. i had no idea what she meant....but this is what she took me too! I WAS FREAKING OUT! i don't know if maybe i just get easily excited about things like this, but this place literally blew my mind. it was so awesome! japanese people will never cease to amaze me with their attention to every single detail, no matter how insignificant you might think it is. so, we went to the second floor of this huge complex in odaiba. and its basically an indoor vintage carnival. everything is at least 30 years old...its filled with hundreds of old vintage japanese pachinko and arcade games, replicated candy shops and toys, a cafeteria that was resurrected into the fashion of a 1970s japanese school cafeteria (and all the food they serve is traditional food they would've served back in the day, as well). oh man! it was a pretty amazing day in tokyo.

looks phenomenal!
you work in shibuya right? i told this japanese exchange student, yumi, that you were teaching english there. she was so impressed. i didn't expect that reaction. apparently you must be very cool over there.
yeah, i work in the most well-known area in tokyo. literally on the biggest intersection in the world...i don't know how that happened. typical image of tokyo: big TV screens and whatnot, that's what i envisioned and that's what i got! life is weird, non-stop forever!
