         Today was nothing less than a very long but fun today. Today was our first day of classes and it instantly put me back in the school mind set. Luckily, Our school hours is about an hour long which is long enough to keep the students engaged. After classes, we decided that today would be a great to meet up with some of our Japanese Buddies and go explore Japan.
        We met with some people and set off for Ikebukuro. Ikebukuro is like one of the Anime Capitals in Japan. It had so many stores that sold Cosplay and Anime dolls. I really enjoyed the area. We visited the Pokemon Store. Its a huge store that had dolls to cards to other things that pokemon fans would love. I got a Pokemon coin purse of one of my favorite Pokemon, Mega- Garchomp, to hold my spare yen.
       I thing that I really like was when we visited a five story Arcade. As a gamer, I was in haven. They had SO many games that a used to play and games I have never seen before. There was this one game, it was like Guitar Hero but with a ceremony drum. Probably my favorite game in that whole arcade. The group wanted to take pictures to remember today, so we went to the last floor where there were Photo Booths. These were not regular Photo Booths, I called "Kawaii" booth because the booth would change features of the photo to give it an anime feel, i.e Big Eyes and smooth skin.
       Sadly, the time has come where we had to say goodbye to our buddies for the day. We decided that we had done enough for today and started our journey back to the Hostel. Don't want to do too much at once you know. There is so much to do in Japan that you can think to do it in one day.
