I'm off to the land where Mario was born

I’M GOING TO JAPAN! Never actually thought I’d get to do this. Going there to see my brother @razorbeamz and to enjoy all the great nerd bullshit like Kamen Rider and fried pork.

Currently waiting for my flight to Seattle which will then lead to Nippon.

SeaTac sucks as an airport. like I’m pretty sure it’s the reason I hate flying so much because I expect every airport to be SeaTac

The airport like super duper stressed me out and it turned out the esim I had bought didn’t work with my phone so it was a whole mess, but I’m here now and I think after get a proper night’s sleep (haven’t had one for 2 days) I think I’ll be with it more.

SeaTac has always seemed a perfectly average airport to me. Which means it sucks obviously, but not like, remarkably

i kinda liked how it improved between my first go there in '17 and my visits since

My personal most hated airport is LaGuardia.

Enjoy your trip!

its bad in my experience compared to other airports because the construction makes it shaped different every time you go and it also shuffles you into like weird bottlenecks of people more than any other airport I’ve been to

seatac airport bad has definitely been seen by many and is a manner of common talk

I keep meaning to update the thread more often, but I’m completely wiped at the end of the day. Yesterday I went to yodobashi camera, nakano Broadway, hard off, and the Kamen Rider store.

Another update 2 days behind. Went to the Kamen Rider diner and sat on the shocker throne. Hit up various mandarake and off stores. Checked out 2 different locations of an arcade called Mikado that I really liked. Went around Shibuya to see the Nintendo store and the various other stores on the same floor as it. Next day we went to that team labs thing, but for me it was kinda meh. The more notable thing to me was when we went to this huge mall with a Gundam base in it and the giant unicorn Gundam outside.

Nice, you’re hitting up all the spots! What’s been your favorite thing so far?

Nakano Broadway, but also just the various other second hand nerd stores like the book offs and mandarakes. These cool toys and figures cost like 3 times as much in America and it’s just crazy to be able to buy Kamen Rider stuff or games for like a buck or two. Even the more expensive stuff like sh figuarts are like half what it’d cost me at home

Hell yeah, enjoy the exchange rate. I hope you have room in your luggage for all your stuff

Came to Osaka today. My brother’s wedding is gonna be tomorrow and this is the location. We’re here for 3 days I think? Not sure exactly if today counts. Aside from getting here I didn’t do much. I went to a mandarake and a HUGE yodobashi camera before we went to go eat dinner with my sister in law’s folks.
