So here we are almost 2 weeks since I have been back from Japan

Time to cover the last two days in Tokyo.

On the 30th I first headed to Mori Tower in  Roppongi Hills. Now this is the 5th tallest building in Tokyo but the reason I visited it was because there was anime exhibition on the observation Deck. 





No photos were allowed in the actual exhibition but there was some real great art work there. 

The views out side were not bad as well.






I then headed to a place I was looking forward to visiting before I even got to Japan, the studio Ghibli Museum!!
If you don't know who Studio Ghibli are they made animated movies like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. They are basically the Disney of Japan. 







No photos allowed inside but it was awesome and well worth the wait. 
Very crowded though and the exclusive film they showed had no subtitles :(
Just some advice for people wanting to visit, you have to buy the tickets over a week in advance as they have limited tickets per session and they sell out fast. You buy the tickets in Lawsons Convenience Stores. 

My last day before I flew back was taken up with one last shopping trip to Akihabara Tokyo. I love that place. 

Here are some photos of all the Anime Loot I got. I mostly got Anime Figures as they are so cheap to compared to buying them over here. I could have got a lot more but it came to a point where my bag and carry on bag was completely full and I would have to spend money get another bag.  


So yeah 1 Gundam Model Kit, 9 Figures, 2 Mini (capsule) Figures, 2 games (that I am waiting on to be translated by fans) and an art book. One of my regrets is not buying more Studio Ghibli art books, they were cheap and it turns out I was well below my weight allowance. 

I also got this for Rick this as a souvenir.

 I also got *Censored* for *Unknown Person* for *Unknown Reason* 

Ok thats it for now.
One last post coming up this weekend covering things I learned while in Japan.
