Japan Amusements · 2007-12-01 23:11 by Raise Plow
And here in Japan there are many video arcades! I haven’t been to a video arcade since Junior high school when i used to hang out at the Fox River Mall. oh, yea, and that one time i went into an arcade in chinatown NYC.
BUT HERE… we were out with our hosts from the theater/ contemporary art museum in kanazawa and after a formal beautiful funny-fishy meal we all went to the local amusement palace and got a big group picture taken in a photo booth. There was a table of japanese girls doing their make-up to get ready for their photo shoots, but we were just a rag-tag group of misfits. So after the picture and our hosts did some fancy computer additions with the touch-screen gui outside (add some stars, some sparkle, a tiara, some hearts) it printed out STICKERS.

AND
downstairs looking for dance-dance revolution we found the Taiko Drumming game which Basil and Barbara had previously mastered. So we all played the game and decided we were ready for the most advanced level. I bore down and tried to beat that game. but i’m sorry to say the game beat me. banging that drum with all my might got mighty tiring. but was at least a large source of amusement for everyone around me who took pictures and video of me getting worn out by the game.
