Wow Epic trip post! Great photo's! That's a quality trip! |
Japan fucken rocks! thanks for all the pictures! |
Nice shots! Where was that gundam in Tokyo? Going in Oct and I'd love to see it, lol. Wouldn't that be cool if that thing actually worked. Last line of defense kinda thing. |
^ Thanks! Gundam is in Odaiba (Tokyo Bay), about 30 minutes by monorail from Ginza. It's far, but you get to see Super Autobacs too! Unfortunately, Gundam is a temporary exhibit for this summer only. It will be taken down soon. And yes, at night there is a laser show with steam and lights. I don't know if he actually moves though. |
What a trip! I went to HK and TW this summer, and wished we went to Japan.. |

Dang, I thought the Gundam statue might be a permanent structure, I might be going in October and would've loved to have seen it. I'll need to check-out Super Autobacs though, never got to see it the last time I was in Tokyo. Thanks for sharing! |
