I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to Windows 10. At first it was fairly stable and I had few problems. Then an update cam and it became unstable, the stable and unstable again, with each update. By now it's stable. I will say that I upgraded a number of months ago, so I've had it a while. A lot of people have privacy concerns about it but it'll probably be fine. I turned off the critical points and it should be good now.

  

There are so many themed cafes and restaurants in Tokyo! There are cat cafes, rabbit cafes, even owl cafes! There are idol cafes, a Sailor Moon cafe, and a crazy colorful monster cafe!

In Shinjuku, my friends and I went to a Robot Restaurant. It was more like a performance place that had some food. It was big, loud, and exciting! There was a lot of English used there too, which was a nice change.

In Akihabara, I happily found the Gundam Cafe, but there was a long line to get in. We waited around for a little bit before deciding it would take too long. We took some pictures and browsed the cafe store.

In Shibuya, Mell and I went to a horror-themed restaurant called "The Lock Up" where they served scary sounding drinks like Escape from Silent Hill and Medusa's Eye. The entrance to the place was like a small haunted house, which was really fun! I didn't know what to expect! But they put us in a corner where we couldn't see much of the scary things happening. It was fun to think of ideas on how to make the restaurant scarier.  

Alright, so more about my trip to Tokyo! We'll continue from the Sunday after we arrived.
It was kinda decided to split up to check out different areas so I went with one to check out a Magic the Gathering shop (he is very into the game). After that we headed to Mandaraka in Akihabara. It was pretty cool, though I couldn't really see myself buying anything there (and I didn't). Afterwards, I continued on my own to explore, making my way towards Ochamizu, checking out a shrine and a supposedly popular bridge on the way. I met up with everyone back at the hostel, and we went out together for dinner. The initial plan was to find a sukiyaki shop, but we settled with a local ramen shop, which ended up being much better, and I was glad for that.
Monday was an amazing day. We started off by going to Sunshine City, in Ikebukuro. The journey there was quite pleasant, and it was a helluva large mall, haha. I'm not one for shopping, but I would go there again. I did buy something at the Pokemon Store, a gift for my nephew. It was really cute; it was a Pikachu doll, but he was wearing a Charizard X Costume.We all ended up splitting off again, and I made my way to the Aquarium at the top of the mall. I also have mixed feelings about aquariums and zoos. It's cool to be able to see these animals up close, but I feel so bad for them, especially when the containers for them are obviously way too small.
Anyway, after an amazing time at the mall, everyone headed back to the hostel to drop off their purchases and rest up a bit for that night. Ya see, we were all looking forward to the Robot Restaurant, over in Shinjuku. A friend of mine mentioned it to me. Apparently, not too many Japanese people know about it. Even that night, most of the people attending were foreigners. I think they mostly advertise to foreign travelers. The show itself was cheesy, campy, and oh so amazing! It had robots, dinosaurs, taiko, beautiful women, and so much more! I definitely recommend to go see it. I will go again if I am ever in Tokyo. The pic below is just a small taste of what you can expect!
