Travelers of the East
May 16th, 2009
It’s a nice diversion to read and see the sights, even if sometimes it’s the same tale repeated many times over the years. Beats hearing the same whine and cheese about people’s animu likes and dislikes! These adventures are still ongoing, which marks an interesting compare and contrast with people’s experiences doing either the touristy stuff, the shopping spree stuff, or just hanging out with people, in kind of a real time way. The personal touches adds to each post something amusing, anyways.

Pilgrimages to the promised land? It is always nice to read about the adventures of all these happy shoppers, even if, like you say, many of the experiences seem oddly familiar (although Wah’s expedition to SHAFT was a new one on me).
My favourite anecdote has to be the one involving WAH lurking around SHAFT’s office.
I think that one is historic.
Agreed. I’m not sure how long any of them are staying, but since wah is living there now, I certainly hope he’ll be covering C76 for us :P
I’m pretty sure he plans to hang it out long enough over there to attend that.
It seems to me you should include some of those “Venice through Aria eyes” reports, like: http://veniceorigination.blogspot.com/2008/05/messages-of-aria-part-1.html or http://veniceorigination.blogspot.com/2009/01/pilgrims-guide-to-venice.html
None of them rival WAH stalking Shinbou, though.
