greetings from Japan

What up all.. posting from my hotel here in Japan..

I am basically downtown Tokyo.. umm Shinjuku area I believe, and the stuff down here is crazy...

travelling sucked.. cuz being on a plane for 13 hours kinda sucks (although the Japanese stewadess are hot)...

tomorrow I will be attending the Auto Salon and will take the bulk of my pictures there.. hopefully acquire some contacts for our store too... everything is so pricey though but hey, what can you expect... food is good though!@

I hope what you want isnt outrageously expensive... we were at the Honda booth at the Auto Salon, but didnt stay long... the Mugen booth had some sick stuff..

if I do go to Honda HQ I will see if I can ask to borrow their phone or something.. calling cards are ridiculously expensive down here.. ($5 US for 5 mins)...

I dont speak a word of Japanese so its kidna hard to communicate with peeps down here

Thanks for all the kind words guys.. I love it here.. if I had money Id want to live down here

it took us almost 2 hours by subway/walking from our hotel to the Auto Salon (cuz the subway system is like crazy hard)... but it was worth it...

its a 3 day show and I think if you're a true car enthusiast it'd take you all 3 days to complete the show.. thankfully we got a hold of one of our contacts and got a vendor's pass for the weekend (otherwise I'd pay $15US for the show EACH day)... I think I snapped about 150 pics b4 BOTH my batteries died on me... and that was maybe HALF of the show?? mind u about half were pics of some of the sickest cars you'll ever see, and the other half of some damn sexy race queens@@

I can't describe how good the food is here... I don't think I'll ever go back to eating McD's ever again... a tad pricey, but worth every penny (those that have gone can vouch) .. anyways wish me luck tomorrow, as my partner and I are gonna have a meeting with an exporter... if all goes well our store will have some good hook ups for JDM shiet

things bought so far: mugen umbrella, mugen key chain, Endless coverall's ...

Domokuns/electonics tomorrow
