As for the red bean cakes and custard cakes, I'm really hoping one of those stands will magically appear one day in chinatown ... so much better than those bite-size cakes they toast down there now.

There's miles and miles of that stuff, tons of variety. mmmm... Oh, and the love hotels are totally surreal! Wow, you're bringing it all back now. Such a cool place. Such a <em>different</em> place. We were only there for 3 days -- can't wait to go back for a longer. Aparna: Yeah, the basement goodies indeed live up to the hype.

Not to shop. Not to window shop. Not to be a mall rat. But to finally go to those basement stores where apparently miles and miles of the most delicate pastries await you. I would not bother coming up for air. Ok maybe just to check out if the so called Love Hotels actually exist but thats it. If I go to Japan it will be to hit the malls. Not to shop.

(In fact, we saw "Pachinko & Slot" signs eeeverywhere.) Interesting scene, but the sound was deafening! My God. How can people stay in there for hours and hours? Thanks for looking forward. I'll get through those photos yet! <strong>David:</strong> I don't know much about Typing of the Dead 2 beyond what I've seen in <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=zA7CKlpdIh0" rel="nofollow">the trailer</a>. Looks pretty similar to the original, but I can't complain about that. :-) IGN says it'll be <a href="http://pc.ign.com/objects/945/945650.html" rel="nofollow">out in March</a> and only in Japan. Weak. lotuslee: We did go to some pachinko arcades in Akihabara. (In fact, we saw “Pachinko & Slot” signs eeeverywhere.) Interesting scene, but the sound was deafening! My God.
