What a weekend!!!

Hey guys,

It's Hannes blogging about the Pokémon TCG right from Japan, just for you.

Lots of stuff happened the last few days, and I'm gonna give you a short overview.

Saturday 30.08.

Trip to Akita City. 

I knew there would be a gym challenge near the university at 10:00, but I slept in (happens, if you go to the bar, the evening before.. ^^'). So I was a little bit late, but not too much. I went to the university, but I just couldn't find the shop. So after 2h I got back to the station and decided to get a map, but I couldn't find it on there either.  

I gave up on my initial plan and started to explore the city a bit, it was beautiful.

 

The seaflower field in front of the park. 
Those seeds freaked me out. O______O

The nice park with its shrine.

I met some people, we had lunch, and then went back to the station...

And you know what?  There's WiFi everywhere!!!

So I looked up my store, and the closest Book-Off (that's a place where you could probably buy single Pokémon Cards, at least as far as a friend told me - thanks Sophie!!) and went there.

The tournament was already over - of course, and there was nobody left playing Pokémon.

So I just asked them if they had Furious Fists boosters - no - and ordered a box of Phantom Gate. Yes people!! In two weeks you will be able to enjoy a japanese Phantom Gate booster box opening!!!  I'll upload it to youtube and will also insert it in this blog, with all scans I can get out of it.

Lets get to the end of the day: 

There are no Pokémon Cards at Book-Off, but I got some cheap Mangas.

Sunday 31.08.

AEON-Mall again - and the Pokémon TCG-Classroom.

Well...

What did I expect?.. ^^'

It was little kids learning to play, so not realy a place for me, even though, it was fun playing - and loosing - to one of their teachers with a Kalos starter deck. My first round of Pokémon with a japanese opponent - quite interesting so far.

For farewell I got these special beauties:

      Aren't they pretty?.. ^^

On my way back I got some packs - still no FFI and my pulls were pretty bad, but whatever:

Back at AIU (Akita International University) me and two of my friends went on a quite nice field trip through the forest. We found a cool looking tree, went to a spring, to drink out of it, and got our feet pretty dirty. :D

Did you know the woods in Akita prefecture were used as inspiration for a Studio Ghibli movie?

Can you guess it?
Answer is at the end of the article.
