			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Being the fourth account of my travels between Christmas and New Years, and being concerned with my initial encounters in Tokyo, including some Cosplay.<br />
</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 103.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic219"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/219__602x408_Tokyo 103.JPG" alt="Tokyo 103.JPG" title="Tokyo 103.JPG" />

<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-176"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I have a lot of catching up to do. Yes, I know you&#8217;re all waiting for some pictures of the anime stuff I&#8217;ve bought, but you&#8217;ll have to be patient just a little longer. I haven&#8217;t had a chance to take the photos yet (and I want to try something that might turn out cool).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Tokyo subway system is pretty awesome, but SO complicated. You really have to plan out your journey and figure out where to change before you start your journey.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We went to Shibuya and this is the super-famous crossing that you always see on TV etc. It wasn&#8217;t as busy as it could have been.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-687" href="http://www.leginag.com/2009/01/part-4-tokyo-drift/tokyo-062/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-687" title="Tokyo 062" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Tokyo-062-600x450.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is the famous dog called Hachiko that is often mentioned in animes. Correct me if  I&#8217;m wrong, but the story is that he would meet his owner at the train station everyday after work , and that after the owner died, he kept going to the station to wait.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-688" href="http://www.leginag.com/2009/01/part-4-tokyo-drift/tokyo-066/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-688" title="Tokyo 066" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Tokyo-066-450x600.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Random pic of Shibuya.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 067.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic208"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/208__602x408_Tokyo 067.JPG" alt="Tokyo 067.JPG" title="Tokyo 067.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And here&#8217;s some cosplay from Harajuku. Eye cancer included.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-689" href="http://www.leginag.com/2009/01/part-4-tokyo-drift/tokyo-072/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-689" title="Tokyo 072" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Tokyo-072-600x450.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There wasn&#8217;t as much cosplay as I expected, but then the whole trip Tokyo wasn&#8217;t as packed as expected/normal.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 073.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic210"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/210__408x602_Tokyo 073.JPG" alt="Tokyo 073.JPG" title="Tokyo 073.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The best cosplay, to be honest, were the girls who were just walking around Harajuku in maid costumes, pretty dresses and such. Made it a bit hard to take photos.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 085.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic211"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/211__602x408_Tokyo 085.JPG" alt="Tokyo 085.JPG" title="Tokyo 085.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Live music was included though. And it wasn&#8217;t even that bad.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 087.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic213"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/213__602x408_Tokyo 087.JPG" alt="Tokyo 087.JPG" title="Tokyo 087.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This poor neko was being mauled by a..well, not sure what to call him. He had a massive camera and after every shot he would adjust the girl&#8217;s arm/pose, to get the perfect shot.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-690" href="http://www.leginag.com/2009/01/part-4-tokyo-drift/tokyo-098/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-690" title="Tokyo 098" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Tokyo-098-450x600.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Half the cosplay wasn&#8217;t even really cosplay imho. Just funkily dressed ppl.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 103.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic219"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/219__602x408_Tokyo 103.JPG" alt="Tokyo 103.JPG" title="Tokyo 103.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I want to go back to Tokyo when it&#8217;s a bit busier and take a lot more photos.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 100.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic218"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/218__602x408_Tokyo 100.JPG" alt="Tokyo 100.JPG" title="Tokyo 100.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But failing that, can always just buy the costumes and get my gf to dress up <img src='http://www.leginag.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 090.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic215"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/215__602x408_Tokyo 090.JPG" alt="Tokyo 090.JPG" title="Tokyo 090.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lots of funky art around. This place had an Tokyo Okonomiyaki restaurant inside which is really popular. We had to wait an hour for seats.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 093.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic216"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/216__602x408_Tokyo 093.JPG" alt="Tokyo 093.JPG" title="Tokyo 093.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Which brings us onto the topic of food.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 116.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic225"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/225__602x408_Tokyo 116.JPG" alt="Tokyo 116.JPG" title="Tokyo 116.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Becomes:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 114.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic224"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/224__602x408_Tokyo 114.JPG" alt="Tokyo 114.JPG" title="Tokyo 114.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Which then becaome this as we decided to make one massive one rather than two small ones:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 121.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic227"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/227__602x408_Tokyo 121.JPG" alt="Tokyo 121.JPG" title="Tokyo 121.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Which becomes this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 122.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic228"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/228__602x408_Tokyo 122.JPG" alt="Tokyo 122.JPG" title="Tokyo 122.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s actually really yummy. I prefer it over Osaka Okonomiyaki, but nothing beats Hiroshima Okonomiyaki. This is a heart. Because I love my gf.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 123.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic229"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/229__602x408_Tokyo 123.JPG" alt="Tokyo 123.JPG" title="Tokyo 123.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Oh, and I can&#8217;t forget dessert can I. Someone tell me if you can get Haagen Dazs in Australia, because I&#8217;ve never seen it around.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.leginag.com/tokyo/Tokyo 125.JPG" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic230"  rel="lightbox[176]">
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.leginag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/230__602x408_Tokyo 125.JPG" alt="Tokyo 125.JPG" title="Tokyo 125.JPG" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Blogging catch up begins NOW!</p>
