So I finally bothered to upload all the pictures and video I took. Theres a lot of stories to go with them, but I don't really feel like typing that much right now. I'll probably add a general overview of what I did for those that care, and some interesting stories over the next few days.

Simply put, Japan does everything America does, better. Except Mountain Dew, they don't have that for some reason. But ya know those hand dryers in public restrooms? Yeah, they have ones that dry both sides of your hands at once. And actually work.

Anyway, heres the photobucket album: http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/Eburt420/Japan/
And a slideshow for those who don't want to click a lot (like me): http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/Ebur...&slideshow=true

Videos:

This pseudo-intellectual kid at my school who thinks he's an uber1337 d3wd has that same Pi shirt. This infuriates me. The deer pictures made me lol.

Did you see any hawt Japanese wiminz? I don't see photos of them.

"Romi was our tour guide. She was aweseome so we bought her an Ipod!"

WTF! Buy ME an iPod!

The Pi shirt is from ThinkGeek.com. And yes, there were some hot women, however I didn't feel the need to take pictures of all of them :P

Zombo... I only payed 1000 yen twords it... thats like $8-9. Lead a delegation somewhere and maybe they'll buy you one. We got her an 80 gig video, btw.

Eburt went to japan? crap where have i been. We should discuss our trips in IRC. You get a rail pass?

No, we only took a bullet train once... however I would have gotten one if I were going alone.

JEBUS CHRIST! BUY ME 10 AND I'LL SEND YOU THE MONEY!

i think he means thats all he contributed to it, not how much it costs :teach:

oh and for the "interseting souvineers" you have the wrong link

- oh btw do you think thats a rick roll?

What kinds of pens did you get?

Thanks Floaty... you were right on both accounts. But I still feel wierd no matter what I call you.

As for pens, I was gonna post that in Show Off Your Pens when I Get Off My Lazy Ass, but I guess I can do it here too, give me a min.

Edit:

I did not see a single keyto sign pen/collortwin though...

oh i bet you thought of me when you saw those ducks

nope, not at all

You're still Lefty to me. Sorry to say, but I didn't think about many people from here. And those were just to wonder what certain projects were doing... I was fully enjoying my time, hell I hardly thought about my family.

HEART/////////////BROKEN

floaty got owned.

way to go breaking a young mans heart.

i hope you feel good about yourself now.

Damn Eburt camera shy? I've only seen you in like 8 pictures.

Ah nice pictures. My family went temple hopping around kyoto and tokyo. We also visited my sisters flat up north. Did some karaoke with some drinking. Much fun! :) I was busy so i wasnt able to buy any pens :( BTW i think i should probably know this but what was the nature of your trip?
