The monorail took maybe 30 minutes to land us in one of the most beautiful locations in Tokyo; something about this city made me feel a great sense of belonging. Perhaps it was the bayside views and towering structures. It was so clean, and the water was gorgeous. We found our way to the top of the Diver City shopping mall, where a very large skate park resides. The view was indescribable. I just felt like I was home.
Other perks of Diver City mall included a giant fucking robot! No bullshit. I mean, he doesn't go anywhere..that I'm aware of...It was also very refreshing to include a Suntory Whiskey Highball with lunch, in the extensive food court. Mmm. We wandered the mall for some time and then decided to head to the arcade.
Joypolis wasn't far, and very well worth the money. I honestly don't even remember what we spent, but I don't believe it was much for a night pass. And then there was this....
I only wish I'd remembered to bring my Old School Sonic shirt - utter fail..
There was also a car game where you get to actually drive a car...like it's a car, and you get into it..and you drive; you can choose auto or manual (I chose auto cause I'm not that good). It was fucking fantastic and I want one. We also experienced some interactive games; Zombie Zoo involved a lot of me screaming like a girl as we walked through a couple of rooms and were given a show by some lovely employees dressed as doctors and zombies. Good times.
We spent a few hours at the JoyPolis, and shared a drink on the veranda.
It was perfection. Odaiba stole my heart. Japan still has pieces of me. But I'll get to that in more detail later......
