GHOSTBUSTERS ROCK INDEED!!! but anyway,

Konichiwa everybody!
Go to http://www.lik-sang.com
It should still be on there info page. And HEY ASNOZZ! I will apply for that thing, too, next summer! Maybe we`ll be working (and maybe even be living together) in a penthouse in Hong Kong next summer! I have been to Hong Kong quite a few times already and it is sooo worth going there!

Now back to Tokyo! I managed to connect my phone to the PC here which is not so simple on a Japanese machine but here is the first bunch of pictures!
Tonight I will go out with all my friends and we will get drunk and stay up all night and do Karaoke! I will definitely take pictures for you guys!
Apart from that I didn`t do much yesterday... I went to the Imperial Hotel (which is actually called Metropolitan Hotel ;) but I keep mixing up the names) and went to the 25th floor to have a drink. Amazing view from up there! Then I went around Shibuya with two of my friends (Shinichi and Ryo) and at night we went to meet a bulgarian friend who arrived with the Bulgarian Aerobics team at night. Then I went home in the most crowded train I have ever been in. I took a picture of that as well...

Oh yeah: FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO VISIT TOKYO IN 3 YEARS TIME: If things turn out the way that I hope they do I will be living here in 3 years time anyway so feel free to stay at my place or at least use me as a guide to Tokyo! This offer goes to all of you!

Well, gotta go again!
I hope you still enjoy my updates!
See you soon,
Phil

hehe...yeah I feel that if you are going on a vaction somewhere for more than a week you have to experiance life there not the biggest theme park.
From what I have studied about the culture I know I should like Japan but I also know if I jumped the gun and moved there I would be sent into culture shock and miss too many things from back home.
One year I feel is a long enough time to get a feel for the culture and then fulfill a goal and have a nice culture experience.
Japan looks fun but I can't judge till I get ther one day.

Shibuya Terminal...I was gonna ask about that actually since, oddly, it's the Japanese-place-name-that-features-in-an-Xbox-game (Jet Set Radio/Future) that sticks in my head the most! :? :)

And you said a while back that they like your European charm and how in some places they are actually almost in awe of foreigners...a little idea if you wanna live there...if you opened a, say, shop or a stall or something, would you be able to play on that European novelty as a factor in making your shop or whatever more popular and getting more money? Just an idea...
