DAMMIT INTRODUCTION FAILURE

Anyways, this is ADARSHA SHIVAKUMAR reporting for blog duty

Okay yea I was supposed to write a big blog post 3 days ago, but seriously, our Japan trip has been so full of RANDOM ENCOUNTERS/ADVENTURES and staying up way past our planned sleep times, that I've been unable to really write anything conclusive-even this is going to be a relatively brief post, a summary/preview of sorts that will hopefully tease/tantalize you all enough to read the ginormous one that will come by the end of our trip.

In the 5 days we've REALLY been in Japan, here are some of the many things we've done.

-Karaoke'd until 5AM
-Karaoke'd 2 days later while our throats were still rawer than raw anything until 4AM (our reservation only lasted until 2AM, incidentally)
-Befriended a Belgian girl and our Australian roommate, leading to many derpy adventures
-Walked miles and miles on the streets of Tokyo blasting the Godzilla theme as loud as we could
-Stroll through the streets of Shibuya with The White Ninja, an awesome French black man, singing, semi-dancing (because let's be honest, none of us were doing anything that could be called dancing with a straight face), and getting random people on the street to join in with us
-Eaten so many M&Ms that we should have dropped dead (OKAY THIS WAS JUST ME)
-Accidentally walked into the 18 and over magazine section in several stores (THE LINE, BOTH LITERALLY AND METAPHORICALLY, IS REALLY HARD TO SEE)
-Found a cockroach in our toiletries, hosed it with air freshner, drowned it in orange juice, and then lit it on fire
-Found really-niche-fan toys and thus, the GREATEST STORE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE (NO I AM NOT BIASED)
-Bought so much stuff that we need a bunch of giant duffel bags to carry it all (we're STILL going to need to pull off some minor miracles here)
-Discovered numerous awesome ramen/soba (if you don't know the latter, use google-fu) places...most of which we have been unable to relocate
-Helped out a random homeless Japanese man with some food
-Watched our Australian roommate miss his flight to Thailand (we're talking a "12:20AM? Not PM? SHIIIIIIIT" moment [yep, that was the time too])


AND FINALLY (SO FAR, SO NOT REALLY FINALLY, BUT WORK WITH ME HERE OKAY)
-I just saw a bag of M&Ms out of the corner of my eye, and I went to eat its contents BUT WHEN I PULLED IT OUT IT WAS ALL EMPTY I AM HEARTBROKEN


The next time I post, I'll be going into way more depth, talking about our adventures with MORE CAPS (YES I KNOW YOU'RE CRINGING RIGHT NOW READERS BUT STAY WITH ME) and MORE AWESOME.

And most importantly of all!

PICTURES

AND LOTS OF THEM

So get pumped.
