There really isn't much to tell about me. I've been an otaku for the past 8 or so years (maybe more?) and enjoy figure collecting, some photography, and the occasional blogging.
Candy Boy GiveawayI guess you could say I started coming to DC.com when I made an active decision not to let my old anime fandom die out. After graduating from school and moving to the real world, I started losing touch with that aspect of my personality. I wanted to...
Suica Vending Machine paymentI tried the Suica payment once. Though it also happened to be a machine some kids were playing with, so one of them hit a button when I swiped my card.
...guess the kid chose what I wanted to drink...
Good and Bad Ideas in JapanEven by American standards, that's a lot of burger. 7 x ~1/4 lb patties... It probably isn't the biggest burger out there, but I put my limit around 1lb.

Aki TakanoriI've always wanted Angelic layer figmas of the angels themselves. They'd pretty much be 1/1 or 3/4 scale from the get go! Or maybe a DannyChoo articulated figure, complete with trooper armor...
Japan Train ServiceI was extremely impressed with the train system in the past week. In America, there's a pretty big margin for error in public transport, and you always have to build in a buffer if you need to change trains.
Food Costs in TokyoI was pretty amazed at the cost of food here in Japan. With the exchange rate where it is, it costs significantly more for an American tourist like to get around Japan (something like 88 yen to the dollar). I know it was bad when the bank teller I we...
Windows 7 JapanRunning RTM on everything I have since it was released. I might have to take some pictures of some presales while I'm here in Japan to share with the folks back home...
Vegetarian in JapanYou really don't find a lot of vegetarians in Asian countries, I think. I don't know of many who are because of a conscious lifestyle choice, but rather because of religious reasons. Since there really isn't a mass cultural need (like in some Western...
Amano Ai Giveaway Round 2Hmm, seems the link didn't paste right... This should be better: http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/25032/Amano+Ai.html#comment-712938
