Wednesday I travelled to Shinjuku and Roppongi and checked out their dept stores with my group. When I told you Ginza was Beverly Hills, Shinjuku/Roppongi (now known as mid-town) are even higher top tier shops. Kanye-dashian living up here. Even Adidas wear was double that of US prices. Also went to Sushizamiya, best sushi chain I've been to.
Thursday we went to Odaiba and saw the Life-size Gundam, that was an awesome experience. Visited the Gundam Front store and picked up some exclusive model variants that are beautiful. Gonna go back to Akiba for the generic models though cause the store is overpriced for no reason on anything not exclusive. Went to a different Sushizamiya and had dinner again. Excellent place!
Later that evening, a 6.9 quake hit on Kyushu Island, causing severe damage and destroying buildings. Thankfully we only felt a slight tremor in Odaiba, but condolences to those who were affected by this tragedy.
Headed to a temple today to pray for the departed this year and for good fortune in the future.
