| | Day 3 (Sun 9/23/07, Cloudy)Chiba Tokyo Game Show 2007
The world famous TGS is actually held in the Makuhari Messe located in Chiba prefecture's(千葉県) Chiba City(千葉市), ever since it moved from the Tokyo Big Sight years ago. This year's event is open to the public on Saturday 9/22 and Sunday 9/23. I wasn't planned to go there initially, since Ken wasn't a big otaku like I do. I have to convince him that the trip would certainly get us enough freebies as cheap souvenirs and it would certainly be a fun experience.
We were both tired from the walkathon yesterday, so instead of heading to Makuhari early, we relax at the capsule hotel till 9am (the check-out time is 10am, I think). I got up early to took some pictures and watch TV in my own capsule. So while Ken is sleeping soundly in his capsule, I get to watch what I thought to be the final episode of Gurenragan(天元突破グレンラガン Apparently, it wasn't. Ep 27 was the final one). We check out at a quarter to 10am.
Before the half hour train ride to Makuhari, we load ourself up with food from the nearest convenience store(or コンビにkonbini, the first four Kata of コンビニエンスストア for the term convenience store). By now, konbini(s) has become our favorite place to get (relatively) cheap food and snacks for our stay here in Tokyo. We buy a few onigiri(s), some stuff buns and sandwiches and on our way to Makuhari.
We took the 総武線(not sure, I should have done this sooner) to Makuhari station and then took the bus to Makuhari Messe.
We finally got to the gate, you could estimate the male-female ratio of the participants... The entrance fee was only 1200 yen(roughly US$10). It didn't take long for us to get the ticket, I think most of the people got their tickets before they get here.
to be continued...
