So much shiny!

So much shiny. So much looking. So much walking. So many cars. So sleepy. Will write later.

Best Japanese commercial ever.

Get on the bus and don't touch nothin'!

We took a tour today. But first, me and The Kip woke up at 6 and wandered around town near our hotel for a while. And then we went to Lotaria for b-fast. The Kip got scared face but then ate it happily.
We started with Tokyo Tower. A giant TV broadcasting tower. I could se everything, even The Kip.
Then we drove past the Imperial palace, Ginza(very busy shopping district) and then stopped at Some temples backed by a big shopping area.
Then we started doing cool stuff. We went t a place called up garage! This a a shop that sells used car parts for super deals, A.K.A. heaven. We spent a long time there and I left with a few new things. Go me!
A few of us wanted to go to a famous Tokyo car tuning garage, Super Autobacs, so we left the bus and found our way there. it was pile after pile of cool, and that was just the parking lot. Inside is all the shiny stuff you could ever want to strap to your car.
Thats what I look like standing next to Nissan's next super car. It will be in the US in a year or so. Trust me, It's a pretty big deal!
Then I came home and wandered near our hotel. The Kip hooked his iPod to our TV and fell asleep. good times.

Hello from the future!

We are now in Japan! And that means we are 16 hours ahead of everyone reading this. Hello from the future. The future is clean, humid and very Asian.

Getting there is the hard part.

In 1/2 of an hour we will be getting on a plane. A plane the size of The Kip's head. How this is possible, I don't know. All I'm sure of is that I saw what i think were real, normal people getting off this plane, apparently unharmed. So why not? Like Grandma always said, "be sure you always follow the crowd and let other people do you thinking for you." Thanks Grandma.

We walked too much.

We woke up sleepy today, still San Francisco. I think with my official position at the Graybar being that of "the guy that sits all day," and Kip being "The Kip", walking up hills for 8 hours was more then we were ready to tackle. But we pulled it off with the style and grace you have all come to expect from Me and The Kip.
So today we took it easy today, walking only half as far as yesterday. We wandered around the mall, looking at all the fancy designer shops I didn't care about, and The Kip had never heard of.
Back at the hotel, I left to go wander some more, and The Kip went to get some snacks from Walgreens. I found a lil' Korean section of town and a lil' Japanese part. There was a mini-mall full of stores with lots of random goodies from each country, all marked up twice there original price. and then I walked back to the hotel, fighting off the prostitutes with a stick. It's just the way I roll.

Scared?

I am watching Bizarre Foods on the travel channel with The Kip. After a spot with the guy eating a still beating frog heart, The Kip, got up and had himself an Alka-seltzer.
