TONY CHOPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA o:

I got Chopper too!!! xD I had him packed in the suit case with the Wii Fit that my brother wanted. He was all square... D:

We wanted to get this mushroom from Mario brothers (those 1UP ones)... I finally told him that we should give up. Lol Next time I'm bringing one empty bag for those... >.>

OMG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL


O____O

bring me back a Koaru Hitachiin and a Kyo Souma :zomg:

and tigger > pooh bear

<--- I'm a pink zombie!

HAHA choppa was EVERYWHERE... in all forms and size, apart from being a toy.. it was also in towels, pillows, blankets...

the most addictive part is you spent $5 and it got to a position where it was ABOUT to fall... so u keep trying.. coz it would be a waste of money if u leave now and someone else got it instead!!

each time looks like u almost got it, each time it almost fell off the edge -frustrated-

in the end the shop keeper helped us relocate pooh bear coz it was actually wedge in an odd position... and we got it almost by just tapping it with the claw... (he may as well just give it to us)

wanna play the crane claw game now~

the prizes in the machines here in the US are poo
I dont really see any crane claws in Taiwan, mostly its those mystery eggs.
I got so many little gundam figures from those eggs xD

yeah the toys in Jap are very good quality~

eventhough the claws are weak and dodgey, the game is designed so that u dont hv to lift the toy up and drop it in a box, if u're lucky u can actually just push the toy down the hole using the force of the claws coming down...

and those egg things, they had a wall of those too O_O

You can get warm drinks from vending machines in Jap~ Above: Hot milk tea and hot chocolate~

^ That helped me when we had to walk at night. It used to be that you can buy alcohol and cigarettes from vending machines too. But they just adopted a new system where you have to have a card that checks your age. *0*

But who'd want drinks from vending machines when you have a bajillion izakayas you can choose from with lots of nice drinks. xD One of the first izakayas we went into had an electronic menu so you jsut send in your order and the waiters/waitresses bring you the food. You can pretty much order whenever you want and they don't have to wait around for you~

Ohh yeah we saw a lot of beer and cigarette machines too, and generally they only cost about 300 Yen... (which was only like $3-4)

wats izakayas? I dont think we went to one of those... i've only bought my dinner ticket with a vending machine... hvnt seen the electronic menu~ But that sounds awesome!

And i'm so amazed at the number of items that are on some menu: 1. Ramen with Beef or, 2. Ramen with Extra beef! XD

and that's their business! It was so busy, we had to wait for a table (which is a very common habit in Japan)
