Tending to Azur Lane &amp; Blue Archive dailies. People were overly happy I had visited Kure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was also a very windy day, one in which I was genuinely unsure as to where to travel. I considered a nearby aviation museum, even if I had to travel via 2-3 trains. I settled on taking it initially slow around Ueno by familiarizing myself with Ueno Koen, a place attached to both a shrine and a zoo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A musical truck also circled the hotel. Not a voting one, but a musical truck of some sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also spent a lengthy while eating my breakfast, one I had to pay for, pay again, and pay for each and every time. I would revert back to Twitter with my Twitter\/X feed notification blowing up. My timeline was chaotic, one which I struggled to keep up with. It blew up in my face. 12 PM washup, and a cleaner Japanese female asking if my room needed a cleanup. I declined it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Japan Trip 2024:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=7890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Day 1<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=7993\">Day 2<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8003\">Day 3<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8028\">Day 4<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8039\">Day 5<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8062\">Day 6<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8112\">Day 7<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8179\">Day 8<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8191\">Day 9<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8210\">Day 10<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8234\">Day 11<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8261\">Day 12<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8268\">Day 13<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8278\">Day 14<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8297\">Day 15<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8536\">Day 16<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8600\">Day 17<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8602\">Day 18<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8618\">Day 19<\/a>] &#8211; [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8635\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8635\">Day 20<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally!

Everything appeared to be all down the &#8216;1-chome-4 Sotokanda&#8217; area, or next to the below image (Mulan Shop). By the time I was able to capture images, or even had my phone out, it was too late. There was an insane amount of emergency vehicles, more than I would see locally in Ottawa, but by the time I could document it everything was too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2qoLDnN\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54078928548_4dd8fc4e02_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240216_191939\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I came here for the gacha machines, unable to find what I was seeking.

Streets like these are overly expressed in various mediums. Feels like home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For a slow day, it was actually very neat. I happily obtained what I desired, especially on the Blue Archive and soundtrack side of things. A nice ramen meal, one which had filled me up for the rest of the evening. I was finally full, for once. I mean, one of the many times whenever I do eat properly in Japan. Ramen is a nice way to round up the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japanese transit is the best, and I admire it heavily. It&#8217;s heavenly, it&#8217;s bliss, and I love taking Japanese transit. From Ueno to Akihabara, and vice-versa, and to other areas. All around Japan. It&#8217;s great! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m still also still highly amused by how a soliciting Japanese street girl assertively displayed her tissue (or other sample item) for me, and others to have. I rudely\/sternly rejected that, in &#8220;mission mode&#8221; mindset probably frustrating her, denying her attempts. You&#8217;re not supposed to be a nuisance, but I do admire the effort. I really do, especially the English attempt. &#8220;Please take one&#8221;, or something to that effect, while I was walking. She really meant it, with her heart in her English message. I do feel a bit bad about that, but it&#8217;s also how obnoxious they tend to be. Taboo behaviours, even in that area. There are signs in Akihabara to prevent such actions, or in certain major touristy areas. The very core of Akihabara, at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole swarm of fire trucks and emergency vehicles in Akihabara genuinely startled me. A whole fleet of emergency vehicles swarmed the area around the &#8216;Sumitomo Fudosan Akihabara First Building&#8217; structure. Surprising events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The various shops in Akihabara really surprised me. Everything for everyone, especially on the SFW &amp; NSFW side of things. Both normal and lewd stuff, done properly and respectfully. Mostly SFW stuff, obviously. Japan is more honest with what they admire, and it shows. More respectful, and I admire that. I genuinely have to laugh at how lewd the Japanese can be, especially when they themselves can&#8217;t be honest with their own private affairs. Open lewdness everywhere in retail settings, in Akihabara, Sapporo, and others. Everything is an open secret. It&#8217;s &#8220;cute&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yes, I initially had planned on hopping a ride on a few trains towards an aviation museum, it however wasn&#8217;t meant to be. I instead resorted to a slow day, one which would allow me to proudly obtain a Blue Archive deck kit, one which had the locals noting my purchase. It made me smile, and I admire how human everything felt. They had one, I had one, and we were happy about it. Connectivity, acknowledgement, and human social behaviour. Felt great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, Kure genuinely surprised me with how chaotic my Twitter\/X feed was. It was genuinely difficult keeping up with everything, especially with how other notifications were lost in the flood. Other notifications were pushed out for other people&#8217;s&#8230; Certain notifications were forever lost in the void, and I do apologize to those people. Thank you for having me, and I can&#8217;t wait for when I can return to both Japan and Kure. I had to slowly make my way back to Canada, as revolting as that idea was. I refused the idea of returning to an intentional dictatorship, one created by Liberals and Western political activists. I desired the tranquility of Japan, the peaceful, common-sensed nature of Japan. Yes, Japan may not be perfect, it however does many things properly to the point it&#8217;s like heaven on earth. Japan is like heaven, and there&#8217;s a reason why myself and others idolize Japan, even if other people&#8217;s praises comes from tribal mentality. Social acceptance, etc. I admire Japan for it&#8217;s genuine merits, something other people tend to only do for social clout acceptance. Shame. Granted, there are those who genuinely admire Japan, they however are harder to find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fun and rewarding day in Japan. I had my fun, and I&#8217;m happy about what I had accomplished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for viewing, hope you enjoyed.
