Kamakura, Comiket & ...Sympathy?

So we went to Kamakura on thursday, a very nice traditional town not far from Tokyo. It has a beach, a lot of shrines and the "Big" Buddha. We went to the "Big" Buddha first, which wasn't big at all. XD But it delivered some nice photoshots though. After that we went to visit a few shrines, where I bought some omikuji and wrote "shin" (new) on a black stone, which is supposed to bring me some new wendings on my life or something. XD Anyways, Kamakura by all was a nice trip, it was a bit too hot, but since I'm better now I didn't got any heatstrokes or something.

Sooo yesterday hahaha we went to Comiket, the largest Anime Convention. Well... it sucked. We were a bit late when we got there, but the row to the convention was still amazingly huge. So we waited there in the bloody heat to get into the convention. After we finally arrived, Jo & Kim had to change into their cosplays. No biggy, since we already waited quite some time so we can wait a little longer. After 1 hour and a half waiting for them Kim got back telling us that Jo is not ready yet and that we should get into the convention by ourselves. Ok, waited that 1 hour and a half for nothing. So we went in to the first hall we saw and it was a good place, the Yaoi-hall. I bought some stuff (also a Initial D doujinshi for Boy XD) when Amber got a sms from Jo saying that they were waiting at the spot we waited them. So we went back... but no Jo and Kim. Ah well, you know like we'd waited more than ONE FRIGGIN HOUR for them but they didn't even felt the sympathy to wait for us. So, after the sucking Comiket we went to Aqua City to grab some food. But even there it was so fucking crowded. It was crowded in the train, crowded everywhere. You could smell the sweat of all those heated up Otaku's. If you think the Dutch Otaku's are crazy, the Japanese ones are more worst.

Anyways, in the evening I went to Ueno with AXT and Ronald because my favorite clothing shop was having a 20% sale on every piece of clothing. So I shopped there for like an hour, bought a lot and then went to do some purikura with Ronald and AXT. After that we went to the Starbucks where we waited for Amber etc. to have dinner all together. We went to the Yakiniku restaurant where we last were. Yakiniku is not a great option for when you're with a lot of people with some having a huge hunger, some not so and some who have to look out for their money. So in the end, I was still like mad hunger, we paid the bill and 4 of us went straight in again to eat Yakiniku again. I didn't tag along because I found it quite crazy to pay the bill at first and then go back in again. >.<;;

So the rest of us went to Yamashiroya to take some look around. I went to the second floor where I bought a Stitch watch foor 700 yen (5 euro) and a Cheshire Cat Agenda for school. Because I didn't know where the rest went, I went outside to found Kim sitting on the stairs also waiting. So I sat next to her and we waited... that's when the craziness occurred.

After ten minutes or so an middle-aged man came to us. He stood there and talked a bit to Kim (no idea what he was saying) and then he cam to me. He lifted up his finger pointing at my electric fan and asked "Ikura desu ka"? (How much does it cost) So I said that I had bought it at the shop behind us and ignored him. He walked away. Then another man came. He looked at us and asked: "Sympathy desu ka?" x4
We ignored him also and he went away. BUT THEN.. another man came by and he threw (no joke) some money in front of us. We were like WTFFFFF!!!! I stood up immediately and walked back into the store, wtf were those perverts men thinking!!!!! Kim was in shock also.

Japanese Middle-Aged Man are nasty.

But anyways, we had actually planned to go to Kyoto today because of the Obon Matsuri. But because we couldn't find a hostel in Kyoto we decided to drop the festival and go to Kyoto tomorrow instead. So today we'll be going to the Pokemon Center and Tokyo Tower with Jody etc.

I haven't got a chance to upload my photo's or check my e-mail, so please have patience!
