Day 3

Day 3 (May 9th): Venture into the "city":
We woke this morning with an earth quake after-shock. It was 3 out of 10 on their scale, very cool! A vibrating bed and I didn't even have to put in any yen.
We took the disney bus (a bus that is made to look old fashioned, decked out in chrome bling... a pimpin ride for the mouse-man) to the train station and took a train to a mall. Hidemi had to go to the motor-vehicles office to get her licence re-newed, so we hit the outlet stores. Karen was in heaven. The prices were not great, not even comparable to the deal you get in Florida so we didn't really buy anything.
Then we came across a 100 yen store (their dollar store). We picked up some small stuff, we'll have to return before we leave to get souvenirs.
On our exploration we came across an arcade. WOW! I could have spent all day in this place... this is MY disney land. There was a zombie game that I wanted to play (the ones that you shoot the screen with a fake uzi), but it was full with kids and we were running short on time. Another day I will definitely have my fill of zombie killing carnage.
After we met Hidemi at 3pm we ate some Ramen at a noodle house. Excellent food.
When we came out there was a bunch of street performers doing a traditional Japanese dance. Karen and Hidemi got up and danced a song with them when they asked for crowd participation. The vid will be on youtube later!

Beer... tall can... 200 yen (2 bucks). Need I say more. Zzzzzzzzzzz.
