Japan Trip Day 4
Day 4, Sunday 15th March
For a change it was a beautiful day! Went to a doujinshi event at Tokyo Big Site called Haru Comic City 14. We didn't get away as early as we wanted but left at about midday. Caught a taxi as the trains take ages and have to make a fair few changes and with the three of us it was about the same price. Went for a hike around the whole area (with way to many stairs) trying to find where to buy tickets then got directed to buy the guide book and when got to the line got asked for a ticket again! Not sure if it was just that the girl didn’t know or we were gaijin but her superior told her to let us through.
I am told the event wasn’t as big as Comiket gets (no surprise there) but it was still pretty huge! Most of it seemed to be more directed towards girls which was a little disappointing for me but it was still a great experience to see. Sadly we had thought it closed at four but it actually closed at three and most people started packing up not long after two so didn’t get much of a chance to see anything which was disappointing. I followed Juunana and Spacexat at first as they headed for the Kuroshitsuji section and collected what they could. Went our seperate ways then and I headed for the Code Geass and Gurren Lagann sections. Saw some things and bought a couple of doujin but most of it wasn't my taste. Before realised it time was up and had only managed to look through one part of one hall. Raced over to the other hall but most of the people had packed up there stuff so wasn't a lot to see.
Headed back to the rooms and checked out each others hauls and lazed around a bit. Bought some Grape Fanta from the nearby vending machine which was pretty good and after a while went out to dinner. We went to this awesome Korean BBQ resturant. For those that don't know you get your pieces of meat and cook them on a grill in front of you then dip it in the sauces you are given. I also had a bowl of (I think) Ramen along with the beef and it was so good and was so hungry pretty well forgot to take a picture! We then went and had pancakes which were so good I did forget to take a picture!!!
