Jason in Tokyo - Vlog #6 - Tower & TGIF

I wrap up my Friday with a short vlog about eating at TGIF and shopping at the massive Tower Records in Shibuya.

Saturday was a full day of sightseeing and then a meet-up with some other J-Vloggers in the evening, so look forward to more soon!

PS - I think the people passing by me at the start of the video were speaking Korean.

i love this tokyo series and speaking of vending machines i always wondered who owns them? do stores own them or the government what???

[myargonauts]

well - it's not the Govt, altho I'm sure they wished they did. It's vending machine companies - there are so many machines in Japan, that whole companies do nothing else besides set up, restock and service vending machines.

Philly cheesesteak?!?! Ok, dude, I have to go there. Being a proud Philadelphia guy, I *need* to know what a cheesesteak in Japan tastes like. What did you think, and how expensive was it?

Also, I wish I could have told you beforehand, but the Don Quixote stores (of which there is a huge one in Shibuya) have all kinds of American soda, like Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, and CHERRY COKE 8D

Well, the cheesesteak wasn't the best, but any kind of meat sandwich is rare in Shimane, so I enjoyed it.

I think it was about 1600yen with fries.

I would have brought more DP home with me, but I was worried that they wouldn't let me on the plane with it.

Nice little vlog. That is a lot of money for what you ate. LOL! Was it as good as you had hoped?

[myargonauts]

well I also had drinks and dessert. :)

And unlike most restaurants here, at TGIF they added a 10% service charge. Usually there is no tipping in Japan.

I looove Dr. Pepper. I guess I'll have to stock up in Tokyo before I go wherever I'm sent.

A Tower Records with 7 floors? That must have been something. Sever floors? For REAL? LOL Only in Tokyo, right? How interesting!

Trains stop at midnight and don't start up till about 5am.

Anyway, I love the cities at night all the bright lights and signs almost as if they're beckoning you.
