Day - 3 Roppongi/Minato-ku

Day 3
I had to go to a meeting and talk about plans of maybe coming back to do some filming, so after that we rode our scooters all over Roppongi and Minato-ku. I did not bring my camera but we went around the Tokyo Tower and Roppongi Hills.

I am not really wanting to do this blog in day format since there were many days I never brought my camera out, so I will probably do this by district or city instead from here on out.



Can you spot me? This is in Club Womb on 7/06

Day 2 - Shinonome and Shibuya

Day 2- Shinonome/Shibuya

We decided we didn't want to do anything to gnarly as we were still adjusting. So we woke up and got the breakfast buffet downstairs at the Hilton. We then got on the train to head to Shinonome to go to the famous Super Autobacs (I think the Rinkai Line takes you there). We got there before they opened so we walked around and there really wasn't much to see 
so we just headed back to Autobacs to wait around. There is so much cool stuff in Autobacs! They have strut bars, wheels, seats, and all kinds of stuff just in stock. Say you need a strut bar for a 2002 WRX? It's on Aisle 5....We bought a lot of cool magazines and random little nick nacs here. It's definetly worth visiting.


























I LOVE THESE! I live off this stuff everytime I come to Japan.





Shibuya

On our way back from Shinonome we decided we weren't tired yet and so we got off at Shibuya. We walked all over the fucking place with no real reason, we stopped for lunch at an italian reasturant and then headed back to Shinjuku.

Well we left LA and were bound for the Narita airport, it was a long flight and sucked especially for me as I had a terrible headache and did not have any tylenol or anything, it took roughly 11 hours to get there.



So we arrived at the Tokyo Narita airport at around 6:35pm (Japan time) and had to get our bags and go to the Japan Rail Office to claim our Japan Rail Passes. We took the train to Shinjuku and walked to the Hilton (it's sort of a tradition I have, you must walk to the hotel in order to re-familiarize yourself with the area). We didn't get to the hotel and all checked in until about 9 or 9:30pm We didn't do much but go here:



To get some cokes and a couple little bottles of Nikka Whiskey (which is terrible by the way) and head back over to the Hilton and pass out.
