Steaks and Ice Cream Spinoff: USJ

After touching down in Kansai Airport, we were not ready to go home from our weekend yet. We still had one more item on the list to crossoff: USJ. For the acronym impaired USJ is Universal Studios Japan. First we had to train to USJ. The train ride consisted of the following:

At the gates, we were super hungry, so food was in order. Food holds priority to fun. Soba.



Once we were at the ticket booths, we hung around like a bunch of cheap bums because we wanted the half day pass. After about 20 minutes, we were on our way.







We met up with Rumiko and her friend Nobu before embarking on any rides. The day consisted of given`r in between rides. The coolest ride was the first ride, a pretty sick roller coaster. The rest were themed rides with some simulated thrilling element. Except for the terminator "ride" which I fell asleep in. Being in an airconditioned room in comfy chairs is a recipe for sleep no matter how loud the gunshots and post apocolyptic robots are. Highlight of the day includes Waterworld not being shown. Here are some pictures I stole.



Its my hand, serious.



Searching for a picture for everyone in the group is like mining for gold.









At about 8, the Kanto boys had to go home. Work was still on the next day so we had to get home. Me, Keith, and Thomas grabbed the next train outta there and Shinkansen`d our way home, to end a busy weekend.

So theres still like a million things I need to blog about: Haircut, Japanese Steakhouse, Izu, Hakone, Kyoto, My stuff in Japan. It`ll all come in time. Masu.....
