Did you guys do anything in Japan besides eat?

Well Kendra is not into cosplay so it was hard to find things to do.Also we aren't drinking so that limits it a lot. Here is the golden gai, an area in Shinjuku full of small bars that looks a lot like the Yokahama ramen museum's recreation of the 1950s.
I did play video games. This guy is playing a game where you use trading cards as your controller. They somehow interface with the game and I'm pretty sure it can tell what cards you are deploying. For instance, at points he would turn the cards over.
I still think it is 1982 and am playing pengo.
They had a great selection of old games put into these newer machines. Including one of my sega favorites from 1985, fantasy zone.
The other thing we did was watch baseball.
Not only little league baseball. We went to a Yakult Swallows game. It is sad that they can't fill this stadium that was built for the 1964 Olympics. Only the bleachers had any people.
One of their fun rituals is to hold up umbrellas when a home run is hit and it is raining baseballs.
This was the most interesting thing I could find to eat. Then I bought these for these two kids and had them pose for the blog.
