Japan trip 2 Day 9 (Comiket)
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. :(

My friend knew a little bit about German culture, so that helped out a bit in terms of finding restaurants etc. Ironically we had to rely upon my very minimal Russian skills to talk to the wait-staff. It was a sausage restaurant, so what we wound up doing was picking 3 sausages each from a tray of raw sausages, and paying a flat price. Since the restaurant was a small country restaurant, everyone in the place pretty much pulled their tables together and we all held a conversation that was basically a giant charades festival with a few very simple words exchanged, because of the language barrier. The food was good, we had fun, and the Germans got plastered.
