Japan trip 2 Day 9 (Comiket)

[rachel_riecheru]

Today was comiket, i left the hotel around 10:15. I didnt need to wait inline at comiket, but was walked through in this giant walking line full of hot sweaty people.

there was a massive ammount of people, no more than i expected but still a lot of people. It did overwhelm me because i dislike large crowds but i was ready for this.

I did a lot of walking and climbed a lot of stairs, when i got inside i was very excited. But that soon died down when there was not really any AC and it was hot and stuffy.

When we got to the Doujinshi halls i spend an hour looking for Saiyuki before i finally asked for directions, only to be told there wasnt any :(

Awwwww

So instead u brought tiger and bunny porn :P There was 4 different halls all for doujinshi circles. Then on a higher level there was all the actual traders but they didnt have Gaiden either (last comiket they did)

I did have fun at Comiket mind you even without the Saiyuki stuff and the heat. But i think it made me miss my friends, i had no one to point out things to, eg cosplayers. (i cant share them with u as we werent allowed to take photos.)

these are the photos that i could take please enjoy them!



This is one of the halls to get to the doujinshi halls... look at all those people!!


Had to take an elevator up and this is what i saw, nice view.


All the people STILL coming in at 1:30pm!!


This is on my way out at 2:30pm still so many people coming in




Ill be doing shopping tomorrow and going to Shibuya. Ill feel better after sleep, Im buggered.
Im feeling a little bit home / friend sick tonight. :(

What do you mean, 'friend-sick', your internet-youkai friends are all right here in your pocket!

Hehehe thats true, and i liked your comparison to youkai friends hehe. Trust me if i was without you guys as well id likely be a basket case hahaha. But it wouldve been nice to have someone with me yesterday :P so we could point and laugh and fangirl together.

I wonder how hard it is to live-stream from a hand-held device over a public wireless network or hotspot?

If I ever go touring I'll have to look that up before I leave.

Any geeks here know if its do-able without horrific hassle?

its easy enough if u have skype for example, but otherwise its a pain and my phones camera is at the back so i cant talk and show at the same time lolz.

Ah, well, your needs are probably about a year ahead of affordable technology. I understand the iPhone 4 is skype-worthy but still too expensive for mere mortals without a Sanbutsushin's gold-card.

In australia they give iphone for free with phone plans thats how i got mine lol.

[randomdiversion.livejournal.com]

The phone plans for the iPhone 4 here in the US are really expensive...the cheapest, domestic-coverage only, starts at $54 a month, and that gives you only 200MB of data service.

I don't want to know what international 'roaming charges' might be...

Lol you dont use roaming :P i have changed my VM so that it says 'hi uve reached rachel, i dont want to speak to u its bloody expensive, please email me, dont leave a message - thanks.'
