First day in Nagoya

Asking about breakfast of the hotelier…

me: Is it western style or Japanese? them: Cheap.

Well, that’s a sign.

Gives me two pages of other options for breakfast and is confused when I still just want the hotel breakfast because I can’t deal with hunting and deciding at this time of day.

Ok, it wasn’t too bad in the end. Quite a few options, some good fish and miso pork, rice wasn’t dry. Toast was… horrible.

Toddled off to the SC MagLev and Shinkansen museum, because I’m that kind of autistic.

I think I’m one of five dudes on this train it’s… a little curious. All the rest are dads, it’s an express to LEGOland/MagLev park and I don’t know what else…?

Oh, big music event. https://muhoric.com/kingandprince-reeranagoya/

So much giggling at the gaijin grabbing the roof for stability.

Saw all the sweet trains, through the history and all that. So many train photos. Such tall, train not.

Had a super sweet Doctor Yellow themed bento for lunch. I don’t care if it’s the kids meal, it’s cool!

Since I had a few hours to go after the museum I had a look at LEGO land tickets… 7800¥ instead of 4800 because it’s a “peak” day. I might come back tomorrow then.

Train back to Nagoya station

Zoooom

Got on the Meijo wrong direction

Osu was fun, so many things.

Mandarake - so much weeb stuff

Cursed place with all the electronic corpses, old man moaning periodically as he got something apart or to fit together.

I was pottering through a tech/comics/shopping crazy area called Osu here, and on the way in I saw red wing shoes - the american brand I was talking about a few weeks back… on the way OUT I noticed on the other corner of the building that the shop had two floors dedicated to people with giant feet, like… they start at my size

Couldn’t get on the higshiyama because it was too full, dude’s jacket was stuck in. Waited for the next one.

Picked up bag OK, into the hotel, the APA is nice! Same layout down to the weird bathroom door as last night but everything is there including a yukata for the public bath.

You know it’s a classy business hotel when the remote control is shrink wrapped and there’s a huge porn streaming catalogue.
