    I'm going to be in Japan this summer, if anyone is in Tokyo,
    specifically Shibuya, I'd be happy to have some company.

    I'm in Tokyo from 8th-13th and 21st-25th of August.
    I'll visit Shibuya, but my hotel is somewhere in the suburbs or at least not really in the centre (near Chidoricho Station, reachable via Gotanda St.).

    I'd be really happy to go shopping with you, but we'd have to check the details before because I won't have internet/mobile phone in Japan (except internet cafés for short messages to my friends at home).

    What are you dates? I live in Shibuya, but am a bit preoccupied w/ shitty diapers and whatnot. I do sneak out from time to time. Hopefully by the summer the little punk will be on a much more human sleep schedule.

    Korea during the middle?

    No, I'll just have a 1w-stay in Kyoto including a 1day-trip to Denden Town. :)

    Well it'd be great to have you two around not just for talking, shopping and so on but also because you can tell me then where I have to look for those omnious "boxes in the backyards" for my shipping project.;-)

    PS: Tatsujin anywhere?^^

    I'd love to meet up with you Kev' but I'm a 1 hour 30 minutes flight away from Tokyo plus I have the same problem as GaijinPunch at the moment.

    I probably got it a little worse... I work at home. Although I will be closer to the end of the forest than you in the summer.

    Anyways, I'm sure I can make some time at some point...especially in Shibuya or Shinjuku as I can cycle there. I've not been to Akihabara since the kid was born.

    I'm currently wasting my life away in Nakano-Ku in Tokyo, although I should have gotten a job come August.

    In case of a small Assembler-Meeting, I'd definately appear! But as I said, we'd have to clear any details in advance... I'll be like locked away in a cave regarding communications and that in such a technically advanced country.. m(O.O)m

    Well, I'll be staying in Japan for 5 weeks this summer, in Toyohashi(about 1,5-2 hours with the train to Tokyo) with a host family. Depending on them letting me get on the train alone I might be able to tag along.

    When do we meet then? If anyone's interested?^^

    We'd probably start best with telling about when we have some free space. I'm on vacation, so I'm always free.

    8th-13th and 21st-25th of August

    Alright, I'm gonna order my traveller-cheques next week and I think its time to get some clearness into this meeting-mess :)

    I'm in Tokyo from 8th-13th and 21st-25th of August and I'd really pleased to do some shopping/chatting with some forum members. I'll be able to log on the internet from my Ryokan but I don't want to rely on that.

    Would be great if we could arrange a meeting at a well-known place at a good time. Like "12 o'clock at noon, near the old horse shed". I could carry a sign with my nickname on it ^^

    Yeah, good luck with that. Best advice in the world: Hire a mobile phone when you get here.

    I'm trying to get an ESL job through a recruitment agency. Hopefully if all works well, I'll be there for the fall semester.

    Not a single one! Completely impossible to find old games in either of those cities.
