so my weeb ass is finally going to Japan. Main things me and my partner want to do are Ghlibi museum and theme park, see the life size Gundam, and go to a baseball game. We’ll be mostly in Tokyo and Kyoto and then the Ghibli theme park in Nagoya. We like all the nerd shit so we’ll be in Shibuya, Shinkuk and Akihabara, and maybe do some fancy stuff in Ginza.

    Real life Mario Kart (well, just go-karting in costume, no shells or anything). You need a Japanese drivers license to drive, but just seeing it is something else. I don’t even know if there’s a particular place to watch from, I was just walking along one night and the whole crew zipped by. Also decent food at the 7-11. It won’t change your life, but the quality difference is more parallel-universe than different-country.

      Just know that if you actually participate in this, most of the local onlookers will regard you with complete contempt. Also, Japanese drivers (especially taxis and minivans) are absolute maniacs.
