The boat was pretty nice but the ceiling was a little low for my tastes.
My favorite Japanese drink, currently anyway. It is called Golden Pine (apple) Calpis. Yes the name is funny and doesn’t sound very good in English. For that reason they call it Calpico in the US.
When we got off the boat I took a picture of the view, which is Odaiba from afar.
I liked this statue.
And these flowers.
We got on the Monorail and it had some pretty cool views, here is a series.
Our train’s reflection in a building.
School kids!
We got off the Monorail and this is what we saw. I liked the colors.
The giant Ferris wheel.
We made our way to Erin’s desired destination, Palette Town, I think it is called that because it was colorful.
Inside Palette Town was the Toyota showroom thing, you could also test drive a lot of new cars here.
Strange car
I call this the “Personal Rover”.
Lexus Hybrid concept.
They also had the Toyota race cars on the bottom floor. Mmmm Supra.
We finally found the giant Ferris wheel and decided that we had to ride it. This is the 3rd tallest in Japan and I think it is in the top 5 in the world, though I might be wrong.
It was huge but went slow so it was cool. Here are some of the views.
Me in the bucket.
Another view from the bottom.
Near Palette town they had a mall that was made to look like Italy. It was cool in a copycat wannabe sort of way.
They had a huge fountain.
I started playing with my camera and I liked how this shot turned out.
This one too.
Another shot of the wheel.
We discovered that there was another concept/invention side of the Toyota complex so we checked it out. ATAT walkers are starting to arrive… scary.
I don’t remember where this was, but I liked it. *I remembered, it is just outside palette town, looking at the Fuji building.
Fuji TV building, it had cool architecture.
View from the top.
After the Fuji TV building we decided to head Ginza to go to the Wendy’s and the Manneken waffle place. Wendy’s was just as amazing as the first time and totally worth the stop. Manneken made these little Belgian waffles, we finally got one and it was super tasty. I can see why they usually have a line around the block.
Next stop… Sendai.

The statue: probably haunted.
The flowers: poisonous.
The monorail: speeding deathtrap of death.
The 1st car: this is why no one takes hybrids seriously.
The Personal Rover: I would drive it like it's stolen.
The race car: seems like Japan has a more aerodynamic design compared to our boring NASCAR ones.
Italy: cool, they have the same thing in Vegas.
Fountain: Is your camera tripping balls?
i-Foot: The i-Foot!! Holy crap, that is half of a mech suit. Fantastic.
Fuji building: That place looks cool. Like a giant maze of some kind. Damn, our buildings need more style then just up.
Pallate Town is so close to Pallet Town, it's not even funny. That's the first town in Pokemon Red, if I'm not mistaken. Have you tried Aquarius yet? Bill Shillito really liked it, apparently...
