How many of those replying with advice are non-American? I will be honest: real hood nikkas ain't got the money to travel to the next city, let alone a whole nother country for days (or weeks) at a time. Many of them barely leave the block/neighborhood.

So now you have folks talking about going multiple times, as well? That's not college study abroad/teach English.

Who are you nikkas who travel?
Ummm, I actually plan on being a teacher...so I will wind up out there sooner or later....

Quick question tho...
Is there a specific area where I can find most Toy Stores?
Whats the rules on bringing stuff back to the USA?
I never had any issues bringing toys back. I actually had the G1 Megatron Gun in Gun form in my carry on luggage one time and had no issues. Toy stores are everywhere. Bic Camera is popular store that has many locations all over and has the latest of everything with floors dedicated to toys, electronics, playstation, etc. MANDRAKE is where you need to go for vintage toys. Here's the blog I used during that Transformers trip i took a few years ago that details the best shops to go to and it identifies the places on Google Maps. just scroll down to the Tokyo section... http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.com/2011/07/heroics-toy-shop-locator-guide-for-hong.html

Think everyone else has you covered. There is a Starbucks in Harajuku right down the street from Harajuku station with SPECTACULAR views of the city. Its at the top of a building and you will miss it if you dont know its there. They have a roof garden. (For some reason Starbucks in Tokyo has all the good real estate).

Here are some pictures I took from that Starbucks

Still not sure if Im flying into Narita or Haneda
Its going to depend on who has Business Class seats available for the flight
We got that 744 flying out of LAX with those Lie-Flat seats to Narita,
The good thing about the long flight is that I will be in Business Class regardless
Im trying to go from Wednesday(Departure)/Thursday(arrival) thru Sunday

Am I weird because I dont like to eat the ramen with the egg in it?
Not unless an egg is scrambled.,..
I cant do it,

For this trip yes, just Tokyo
I still wanna ride a bullet train tho
My coworker was telling me at Narita Airport that all I have to do is show my passport that they plug me with a bullet train ticket and like a weeks worth of metro tickets
Gonna have to confirm this



Not too sure about hitting up roppongi
If I do manage to come back Sunday then yes
Is there a more local like(non tourist) nightlife area that has a hip hop club
shyyyyyyyyt
if im drunk enough i can get down to electronic music too

Speaking of clubs
does metro run all night?
How the hell do i get back to my hotel?

Just looked up Skytree
Im definitely going​



Tokyo Tower and that intersection is definately on the list



Will keep yall updated



Im hearing THIS a lot​



Breh,
I might just end up with a funny ass story
I can almost sense it

Oh
and Im going as a retired NFL player lol​



Noted​



Im not going to be out there caking
I am about that one night stand tho​



whaaaaaat...​



I might get sick fukking with all that weird flavor shyt
But I will at least post pics of it​



An animated movie or a real movie?
Never really got into Tekken but I can hold my own in Street Fighter still​
Business class is the way to go breh:blessed:

My homeboy works for American airline so he got me that first class ticket for the low low:wow:


And trust me some spots in roppongi R not touristy . Go with someone that knows the area. My boy was stationed out there so I was lucky enough to go almost everywhere.


Cabs r everywhere so it's not hard to get around.

Breh before u leave hit up a yakinuku which is Japanese BBQ .. shyt was life changing:win:

Walk around with your dikk on full display if you're packing.

You'll get swarmed with p*ssy, & even if you get locked Chung Li will spin kick her way into the jail & break you out.

In a land of baby dikks the man with a foot long is king.

So I'm finally leaving on this trip tomorrow

Got into an accident 1 week prior to originally leaving and had to cash out the other driver under the table to avoid 'rediculousness' if you know what I mean...

That said

all good now

Leave in the AM to Seattle then onward to Tokyo

Like I said..
I'll be updating this shyt with pictures

*2 weeks from now I'll be hitting Belgium and Holland*​

Breh make sure u take alot of yen (depending on how long you gonna be there for). I was caught off guard at how many places don't take card compared to america.

How long are you gonna be out there for. I'll be back there in a few weeks.
