August 21. Almost Done

Hey all,
these past few days have been emotionally and physically confusing, i suppose. After getting over my sickness, I have been waking up earlier and earlier, which I guess is a good thing. Anyways, these past few days havent really been much. The only real big thing that I did was visit Odaiba with Bridget and her friend to see the life sized gundam. So lets get to that.
Odaiba Gundam
At first I wasn't really that excited to see the gundam cuz im not a gundam fan or anything. Anyways, When we got to odaiba - the view was exactly as i envisioned Tokyo and Japan to be like. Like I said on my first post, I thought Tokyo was like vegas. Tons of lights, tons of life, and tons of energy..But I almost got the opposite. But arriving in Odaiba, this was it. I tried to capture some pictures on the shuttle bus, but it was hard to capture it moving and at night.
Odaiba at Night:

And on to the gundam... I was kinda worried that they wouldnt perform the gundam show at night. And even more worried that there would be no lights to shine on the gundam. But when I got there my worries went away...
Wow it was so cool. Like, right when I saw it, I think this was the coolest thing ive seen during my stay in Japan. This thing is awesome as hell. Every hour, A gundam show occurs where music plays, lights dim, and the gundam lights up. The head moves, lasers come out the fools eyes and chests and shit. And then steam comes out of its boots and its boosters in the back. Wow it was dope!!! So for anyone going to Japan, you have to see this thing. Its too awesome to describe, or even videos. You have to see it in person. Oh yeah, they also let you line up and get up real close for crotch shots of it.
Heres another shot of odaiba at night. What a nice looking place, perfect place for a date.
Dir en grey is next..
