Actually is like no#5 and what was on Monday.
I went hunting again for a few items.
I was close on the DS game but they where sold out of it, but at least I can find it now.
As for the coffee I had almost found it, but I guess that I need to be at the stores when they open to get it. Although I am not sure that it is still for sale, although if ask john from animnation had found it and it wasn't that long ago that he had.
I had just read Ask John's post on his trip again, it looks like he had found the Haruhi coffee at a store across gamers. Which could be...a few places. With this new information I hope to be able to get the Haruhi coffee.
After I get what everyone has asked me for I can ship it all back.
all right now what happened on Monday:
Nothing really much the bite of Akihabara was to strong and I had to itch it. there was a few things I was looking for a Volks customize figure of Suigintou. I had seen it in the Volks store several times, but the last time I had went there she was sold out. So I searched the store and no luck, so I had walked into a shore that I had previously had found really good deals on figures. Sure enough I had found her also for about 2000 yen less than Volks was selling her. So I picker up, also I had found another figure that was cheap as well for under 1000 yen from a series called Canvas2 . When I was wandering around I had found 2 sushi bars in Akihabara.
While I was walking home I spotted a 100 yen shop in Ueno so I browsed it for a while looking for some towels that a friend had wanted, they didn't have the right type so I moved on headed home and went to sleep. There also seem to be a ramen place just around the corner where I live.
Tuesday: I had awoken around 5am, I had my alarm on my DS turned on for 6:30 so that I could wake up in time to deal with the Garbage...but I had gotten up before then. I looked at the garbage it seemed alright (I needed to make sure that everything is sorted or it wouldn't be picked up) When I asked the Sakura staff if I needed to take care of the garbage on all the floors. I was told that I only needed to worry about the 2nd and 3rd floor. I checked later after 8am and the garbage was gone so it was ok. Only a few more days and I am finished with dealing with the Garbage.
I had found out that the 100 yen shop I needed to goto was in the Shinkuju Prince Hotel to the 8th floor. I was huge and it looks like a great place and looked like a better place then the dollar stores back home. I found the towels and other great things. I had left with two bags and 2000 less yen in my wallet. I has walked around the skinjuku station and headed for the Government buildings and the park in Shinjuku and I spotted a landmark from a popular J-drama. Then I wanted to check out the Volks Store in the Studio ALTA Building on the 6th floor. It looked small I didn't enter the store just looked through the windows. I'll visit it again later on.
And the other stores over my time here.
I then headed home since I was I was getting tired, the train only went to Ikebukuro, I guess that the train was broken or something and I hopped the next train to Ueno.

Sounds like you are starting to get your bearings over there -- it's only by being willing to wander around and see what you find that you'll come across things like the "Love" scuplture. I don't really remember it being featured in a drama -- was it Densha Otoko? It would fit...
There's a Volks shop in Studio Alta...? Wow, they're really letting themselves go... ;)
I really liked all the pictures you uploaded to Flickr, they're all great! I will keep checking back for more.
I like your crazy Dr Pepper can. I'm sure the Starscream box next to it in the picture is for Matt -- he'll probably be pretty happy you found the thing. And Joanne will be glad you found her tea-towels! Thanks again for going out of your way to look for those things. Have you figured out a way we can send you money? I suppose if you're accessing your bank account we could deposit some cash into it from this end... just let us know.
You said you saw a couple of sushi shops -- but you didn't say you went in! What happened?
Ya it was when Densha was meeting Hermes and her fiend came along and made things a little complicated for him.
Ya but I think that it's soundwave he really wanted. So I am going to look for soundwave was well and send them both as a gift.
Well, there is a few option, deposit in to my bank account, or through a paypal account.
The reason was because they looked so full from the outside and gives me something to look forward to my next trip to Akiba.
I think that I should try to case out Harajuku before I go on Sunday, see what I can find there.
There is a Volks store and show room there to so I should check that out to.
Good idea to check out Harajuku before you see it on Sunday -- it will be a madhouse, I'm sure. I remember some realyl nice shops int hat area, and a beautiful big tree-lined street, but I don't remember much that's anime or game related. If it's there, I'm sure you'll be able to find it.
Let us know when you make your first trip to the sushi bar or the Ramen shop! You must be getting sick of onigiri and combini food by now. What have you been eating apart from burgers, milk and CC Lemon?
Let us know which method of paymet you prefer and we'll take care of that. If you want I can pool cash from people you're shopping for and make one big deposit. Just let me know.
Hi there!
Hope you are having fun!
If you are asking which way something is.
simply say this;
Sumimasen, (where you want to go)
desu ka?
In Japan they will use traffic lights (shingou) as check-points.
A very bad example of this is;
Maasugu (straight),Miitsu shingou (3rd traffic light), Migi (right).
(Go straight until you get to the 3rd traffic light (from here) and then go right).
Those are some keywords that you want to pick up on when someone is telling you how to get somewhere.
Sorry (Gomenasai) if that didn't make any sense at all. =S
