Every channel on T.V has commentary on the constant rain, either that or japanese celebrities spazzing out and being completely unable to be funny without some maniac expression and their trousers falling down to sheer uproar.Seriously, there was a fat man who seemed to be the butt of all the jokes.He was wearing a man girdle then he quite obviously let his trousers drop.Then the other guys actually literally rolled around on the floor.The tv here is so wierd.The only way they can act is by pulling ridiculous faces all the time.
(Maria) I did watch an awesome japanese soap opera.There was a woman running wearing full geisha costume.It transpired that her elaborate geisha hair was actually a wig when it showed her running in slow motion and her wig was bouncing back and forward on her noggin!Then two guys proposed to her and there were lots of shot of her looking painfully at two engagement rings.It ended when a girl saw one of her suitors hugging another girl, she ran and told the poor girl trying to decide who looked really hurt.OOH, what a cliffhanger!
So yeah its very rainy. It may have hindered us but didn't stop us doing our Japanese tradition, eating Ramen and going into big, bright and noisy shops. Maria also bought Sakura tea which smells excatly like the Ueno Ice Cream.I got some Autumnal Darjeeling as well, it smells absolutely incredible, that and the name felt so romantic that i parted with 7Squid for it!
So nothing major and no decent pictures to upload so heres a drum game for the ps2 and one for the DS that Maria bought after playing them in the arcade.
[Maria] Kate, one of the awesome people we met here told me about the drum game in the arcade.I found one in the next arcade we went to and just had to play it. WOWEE! AWESOME FUN!!! Then a couple of days later we were schmoozing around Akihabra going into every game shop we came across when I found the game for the ps2, with drum!!It had to be purchased and I spent the rest of the day looking like an excited kid at paul and exclaiming "I got the drum dame!".
I've spent most of the rest of the holiday waiting like a kid waiting for Christmas (Ku-ri-si-mas) until I could get home and play it UNTIL I found it on the DS!!I dashed back to the hotel, eagerly ripped open the packaging and put it in my ds quicker than you can say Meccha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS 7-tsu no Shima no Daibouken (the full title of the game). To my delight and excitement it has the Mario theme tunes as one of the levels, this is mariary goodness bliss!!!
And here is the PS1 Shin Megami Tensei II and a guide that Maria got me as a very nice present.
Hopefully tomorrow will be nicer so we can enjoy Ueno again.

O.O Megaten II!!! So jealous. How're you gonna play it though? That drum game looks awesome.
I think I might've played the drum game in salisbury. Remember years ago going down there and playing it. I think. So much fun.
Good to see you're having a great time. Too bad it's raining but in the words of Kare Kano.
"Rain, sleet or shine, we'll be just fine."
:) Can't wait for the next episode of P-chin and M-hime's adventure in Merry Land.
You guys are having an obviously fab time! Am so pleased it has lived up to your expectations! Many thanks for the delightful pics and excellent commentary!!!
Play it? Dude its sealed! and has a wee card! Ive already played through the beginning part so I'm gonna try and translate some of it when I get home.
It would seem that Maria is the one who should be commentating! She has far more attention to detail.
