Filthy Gaijin

Welcome back heros. Lots of content but all great of course- all coming from a filty gaijin (filthy foreigner).


Marine Day

So this past monday was a "holiday" called Marine day in Japan except there was still class at Tokyo Tech and everyone was in lab. But hey at least the trains weren't so packed. After lab I went with some friends to Tokyo Tower. There was a really interesting mascot that definitely looks like the tower, obviously. But besides that there was this window on the floor that was so freaking terrifying but kids were literally leaping and crawling all over it. Meanwhile it took someone to shove me and a small yelp to get half my foot on there. Then we headed to Akihabara the gamer district and got some great sushi at Ginzo Sushi for reasonable price (~$14/15 dollars). We checked out an arcade and I won at a fighting game against a gamer friend by smashing all the buttons looool.


Yutenji Festival

Another festival this week where people were dancing around the stage and lots of food stands except this one was so unbelievably packed. Also we accidentally went early when it was "Children's festival" so there were a ton of kids running around being loud. It got so bad you just wanted to shove them down a little (not that I would do that, haha). But anyways, we made it through to the night with the power of Strong Zero and takoyaki.


Friday Night

This is the only picture I had of friday night. I went to Sushi No Midori at the Shibuya station. It was decent but a bit expensive (~$26 dollars). When I say decent its like a 7.5-8 while all US sushi is like a 4 lol. (Not pictured) After sushi a lot of friends came over to the dorm to hang out and we went to a club. There we met this white dude who claimed he wasn't a gaijin even though he was literally white af wearing a louis vitton jacket and some nike air forces.


MILF- Man I Loveto Fish

Saturday! Some friends and I went to Zauo where there's basically a pool of fish and you catch the fish you would like to eat and they prepare it how you want right there. I'm so proud of myself I caught this baby (sea bream) all on my own. Some losers had to have the workers catch their fish for them with a pole with a pokey spear thing on it @ most of the ppl in my group. The fish weren't very hungry so I basically found this fish that wasn't moving and when it opened its mouth I force fed it the hook with the bait. Am I a bad person. nope. I got it prepared sauteed with butter and also deep fried. Both were great but man everything really tastes better with butter.


Ginza


Today I went to the Ginza Muji store with Danny (woo go UCSB). The store was nice for sure I bought a shirt, pants and lots of pens. Why are the pens so good and why did they take my money. After we went to this yakitori place (I think it is Yakitori Ton Ton according to google) underneath the JR Train station at Yarukucho (near Ginza). I'm telling you this yakitori could bring world peace it was SO good. My mouth is watering again thinking about it. Lol after we went to TR Tea for boba it was really good but man am I so lactose intolerant sometimes. I was sweating on the train praying to make it back home. It was like I was holding a ticking time bomb in my intestines.


That's all this time. Make sure to SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON.

Japan through the eyes of a major foreigner

I had the awesome opportunity to do research in robotic control in Tokyo so I made a blog!
