Sneakinessitude

Never underestimate it.

Apparently I am quite the evasive individual. I woke up to the sound of my phone thinking it was my alarm clock and ignored it with that thought until it was too late. Then I continued lying there for a couple minutes until I realize that that was a call from the mailman who would be at the front door, but by the time I made it here he had left.

Damn my luck!

And then I forgot that I was going to the arcade today so I went to the cafeteria, and one of my friends had apparently gone to my room trying to find me.

But then he went to the cafeteria as well, so hey, worked out.

Also, not sure if I mentioned this, but people can smoke in the arcades here. About halfway through the gaming I had to go outside in order to breathe properly again. Dagnabbit!

Was fun overall, though, despite my friend being a hadouken spamming prick. Also, the taiko game had the Mario music on it, so that rocked in stereo.

There is a place called Kuta Ramen.

We went there for lunch after the arcade and this place has the genius idea of giving you free refills. On RAMEN. Alright, granted it's not fresh soup, but they bring you freshly cooked noodles for your bowl if you still have broth left. My initial helping was pretty hefty (and apparently I had extra thick noodles... for some reason. Good though) and I managed to get 2 extras down. One of my friends got 5. That's 5 refills of ramen, making that about 6 bowls in total.

That's insane, for anyone not sure.

We worked that off by going to a porn store (the feeble of heart and children may want to stop reading here).

The first thing in this place that was apparent is that it wasn't just a porn store, it was a normal store. There were tech magazines, candy, some actual movies, a few shelves of books and comic books, some arcade machines.... actually, all the porn was in an entirely different half of the store.

Which we went to under the assumption that it would make one of our friends uncomfortable.

One thing that I feel the need to point out is that the Japanese are absolutely revolting in their sexual deviancy. There are gravure idol videos (basically model shoots, wearing clothing and everything!) of little girls. I mean in the 6 years old range. I'm sure the videos themselves aren't sexual depictions in any way, but the fact that they are included in these sections means you know what they are used for. They also sell used panties with pictures of the girls they come from for similar purposes.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Japanese porn is hilarious. There are such ridiculously specific fetishes that exist that you can't help but laugh. The best example of this that we found was girls in leotard with white stockings. Specifically white stockings. In fact, we found "Leotard and White Stockings VI". Yes, 6. There was also a best of collection.

Oh, also Cola flavored body oil. Not even kidding.
