Comiket Day 3

IMG_2034 [title]

Well, day 3 of Comiket finally came. This means it’s my final day in Japan sadly. I will miss this great country with all the otaku goodies. I plan to return to this great place soon…with even more money to buy all the goods I want!!!!!!! On to Comiket. Something I did notice is that people can just bud into a line so easily. Serious, there is an end point to a section of people and people seems to go into the first line from the back. No one seems to care though. I still don’t recommend on doing that though.

Well, we lined up as usual in the huge line in Comiket. The weather today I saw was a lot better then the other two days of Comiket. Today was actually cool. No sun whatsoever and the wind was nice and cool. Waiting in line actually feels a lot better waiting in a small drizzle of rain and wind then in the hot hot sun.

Waiting in line once again…god, I’m getting sick of lines… There is a line everywhere!!!!!!

Walking towards the east hallway…..so many people… It’s just long…

The sign is to let people know it is the Tokyo Big Sight, just in case you can’t see the big structure…

Well, after some time I finally made it to the east hall. It was so packed with people, it made it hard to move around and purchased stuff. Either way, I was able to buy some doujinshi. Well, if any of you who plans to go to Japan and attend Comiket, bring small bills cause they do not accept large bills there. Bigger circles will have a lot of change but smaller circles around might not have enough. So just in case, bring small bills and change.

Well, after a while being pushed around in the east hall, I left the doujinshi area and went to the cosplay circle. I actually finally found it.

Well, currently trying to pack as my flight for Canada leaves in a few hours. I’ll post about what I did after Comiket when I get back to Toronto. It looks like I have to delay my loot post till all my loot arrives from shipping it. Don’t worry, I will have a loot post and have a total reorganization of my room…

Well, I have to get some shut eye before I go on the plane… See you all when I get back to Canada!!!!!!
