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. :(

aww that sad that you couldn't take pictures of the cos-players.

Glad you had some fun even without being able to get more Saiyuki.

*hugs*

I'm sorry you miss your friends, in a place with crowds like these is easy to feel alone, I don't like crowds too.
*many hugs for you*
Fortunately, in Japan/Heaven you can always have fun! ^ ^

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

FWIW, I just admire you like mad and think you are the bravest thing for doing this trip on your own! I hate crowds in particular - I have never gone to any of the cons here because I haven't had anyone to go with, and couldn't fathom facing crowds by myself. Gives me the shivers, just thinking about it. So to me, for you to be doing it on your own, in a foreign country, is bloody amazing. A little home & friendsickness is to be expected, you are probably pooped - you've been going at it pretty hard every day, AND you were sick! Pamper yourself a little and relax as much as you can, ok?

**hugs you hard**
