I hear you need a replacement to unsink your ship. I volunteer.

#tokyodisney land is no Disney World. Waited in line for a ride. Broke down right before entry. No fast pass issued despite it being a ride that has them. #cxfail

@xXxnomthings Dominos in Japan is quite popular. Basically things viewed as special are more expensive. "Western food" is special.

Saizeriya is a cheap chain "family restaurant".

It's just a matter of finding the food you want from places that sell it cheap.

[David Helkowski @DavidHelkowski]

@xXxnomthings Not cheaper. Unless you consider $110 cheaper at least.

[David Helkowski @DavidHelkowski]

@xXxnomthings Additionally the Costco nearby had full size frozen pizzas that looked excellent for about the same price as similar in Seattle.

I'll take a picture of those next time I go there.

"Pizza is expensive in Japan" is nonsense imo.

A few #retro deals from #akihabara. $4 PS2 multitap. $9 Saturn memory card.

When cows fly. Oh wait... The expression is pigs not cows.

A few subway pictures. They seem to go overboard in a nice way with making some subway entrances and tunnels artistic.

More #food in Japan. This time from Gusto

It remains striking to me that Japanese rail lines tend to be silent with no one talking even with a car of 100 or so.

@xXxnomthings Those things are very rare. If/when I spot one I'll let you know.

I continue to see tons of classic video games crazy cheap here compared to the states. Today I saw SNES DK1, DK2, and DK3 each for less than $5.

Super Mario RPG cib USA runs around $150. Japanese version used is $2.50

We now have a car in Japan. #toyota Aqua, aka Prius C. Low miles and in excellent condition. We can get to Mt Tsukuba now!

The deck is a bit dirty. A bit of effort does show capable of cleaning it though!
