, posted Mon 26 Aug 14:51
I'm leaving at 10:00 AM or so tomorrow for Japan, I'll be there for three and a half months. I am all packed, my plane ticket and passport are sitting here on the table, and I am just killing time. I'll have a lot of studying and exploring to do over there, but hopefully I will have some time to check out some arcades, maybe I can even get to Osaka and NeoGeo Land to see KOF2002 at some point. That's a long shot, though. I also don't know how much internet access I will have, it could be almost none, it could be often if I can get some kind of wireless web solution or if there is a netcafe nearby (my homestay family, like most Japanese, has no internet connection whatsoever). Anyway, wOOO!!! Nihon ni ikimasu yo!! wai wai!

WOW! Well,we wish you the best of luck,dude! Let us know how NeoGeo Land is. 
Again, I only hope I can get up there, I know one of the day trips most people take is to Osaka, but Osaka is a big place. I'd have to have quite a chunk of free time to go there, but I am pretty highly motivated to make it happen.
if there's any problem in getting to Neo*Geo Land, the directions to it are on Sun's website.
there are also alot of other cool places to see, like Plaza Capcom,and the like.
also, cosplay shops, discount game shops run all over the place!
have fun!

NEAT!!! That's a very cool opportunity to go and explore the culture of Japan...but you haven't told us why are you going there?  All the very best of luck and here's wishing you a very enjoyable trip!!!
TED: They sell almost everything in vending machines...Rice, beer, CDs...The Japanese have a niche for doing business...Last time I heard they even sell...
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Soiled/used underwear worn by teenage girls. Yes there are some very sick chikan out there...

you need not worry about it... you'll only find that in "seedy" areas.

Haha, enjoy the time there, man. I wouldn't say it's so irregular for Japanese to have internet connections anymore (not compared to about three years ago at any rate)...all three of my host families happened to have 'em...maybe we were just kanemochi~ By far the most appreciated vending machines are the ones with beer, as I recall. The ones that sell beetles sound intriguing, but I never saw them.
The Kansai (west) accent will be interesting, too. Personally, I like the sound of it a lot (makes the northern sound really rough, sorta like if you've been speaking with a southern gentleman's accent the whole time and then meet a New Yorker). Can be confusing, but then, who's to say which is "right." Kyoto (in Kansai) has been the capital of Japan for a hell of a lot longer time than Tokyo ever was... Enjoy!
