Hello I have missed another two days! Now on the flight back home so let’s fill in the gap…

May 17, 2025
We begin our trip through Seguin, TX to visit Burnt Bean, ZDT’s Amusement Park to ride Switchback, the largest conbini in the world, and settle in in Kemah, TX.

We arrive at Burnt Bean Co. at about 10:15 in the morning. A decent number of people in line, but nothing particularly overwhelming. The group behind us had to leave as it was getting too late for them to make their appointment in time. Too bad…

For the ordinary stuff we picked up half pound of brisket, half pound of pork ribs, one slice of bacon, a baked sweet potato, mac and cheese with hot cheeto dust (I suppose this isn’t normal), and some corn pudding. Not ordinary stuff is the Korean beef rib and Moroccan pork ribs pictured on the left. Ordinary items were nice and above average; in particular I really liked the korean beef ribs. It has the sweetness that you would expect from Korean bbq sauce, yet crispy and smoky from being smoked. Normally if you have excess fat on the back of the bone it’s just gelatinous and sad, but here it rendered well and offered some crunch while eating it off the bone. Awesome! Morroccan ribs was just ok; I didn’t feel that the spices on top complimented the smoked ribs well but it was still decent.

For dessert my brother found this ‘taco’ peach cobbler item interesting. It’s sweet and goes well with the ‘crisp’, though you can’t actually eat it like a taco. I believe the ice cream was some dulce de leche / caramel flavor – good on its own but I don’t think it necessary complements each other.

We made our way to ZDT’ Amusement Park next – it’s a little family owned amusement area on a city block, and they added a small roller coaster a few years back. It’s actually the primary reason my brother wanted to visit as the owners of the park intend to retire in the near future, so the fate of this roller coaster is uncertain and he wanted to ride it before it gets dismantled 4eva. Normally, the park is supposed to be relatively quiet, but there were hordes of band children on field trip here again. A theme we will not seem to ever escape.

The ride is compact yet manages to deliver a lot of force. It’s a little rough in some spots, but the seats allow for you to move with it so it’s bearable. Of note is the switchback element – at the ‘end’ of the ride you go up at an 87 degree angle, then return backwards to the platform. Even after riding it a few times and memorizing the layout, the forces are still impactful as you brace to anticipate the turns going backward. I enjoyed the ride a lot and hopefully the ride will have a future somewhere else if the park closes.

Next we arrived at the biggest conbini in the world in Luling, TX. It’s quite excessive for a ‘gas station’ to be this big, but apparently it does serve a purpose in the Texas area for large field trips to dump 90+ kids all at once and be able to have facilities that can attend to all of their needs. They have their own barbecue station, bakery, jerky, dessert, and miscellaneous food preparation stations inside. I was really big on Wawa while I was visiting the east coast in 2022, but I think Buc-ee’s takes the cake…!

I’m a big fan of the exclusion of Coca=cola icee as the default flavor in favor of Dr. Pepper – I don’t normally drink Dr. Pepper if available, but this definitely slaps. I also picked up a few bags of Beaver Nuggets and their brisket sandwich – obviously it’s not as good as the brisket I’ve been eating at proper restaurants, but it can definitely stand on its own.

I’ve always been curious about the wages paid at Buc-ee’s. Yes, it is good, but apparently you have to work your tail off while you’re on the clock. No goofing off on your phone on the job or you get fired!

Made it to our hotel in Kemah, TX and crashed…

May 18, 2025

Today we are visiting the Houston Space Center and the Kemah Boardwalk.

Houston has been home to the Mission Control Center for NASA for managing all space related activities, most notable would be the Apollo 11 moon landing (in during it never happened). We took a tour of the actual mission control room, a replica space shuttle, the astronaut training facility, and got to see some rockets. For the control room tour, they replay the Apollo 11 moon landing and President Nixon’s telephone call to the astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Now I know where the sound sample “in the hsitory of man… all the people on this are truly one” comes from (from IIDX16 Empress Programmed World). Separately in the main exhibit halls there are actually a moon and Mars rock available for touching, apparently one of very few in the world available for the public to feel up.. We got to touch it and …. yup, they’re rocks…

I do appreciate that th overarching theme of the space center is to try to inspire kids to be interested in space to pursue a career in aeronautics – whether or not it actually works is a different question as most kids probably want to be youtubers or influencers these days, but it’s a noble cause!

Got a quick bite at Tookie’s burger – nice burger, relatively cheap prices. Not much to say.

Next we visited the Kemah Boardwalk to ride the Boardwalk Bullet. I really want to like this ride – it’s aggressive and has strong laterals, but the ride is too rough for me as it hurts when I get slammed into the sides of the seat. I tried riding in the front and riding by myself, but still had the same issues. It’s a good ride if it doesn’t hurt for you, but it’s difficult for me to enjoy the ride while bracing for and anticipating pain.

Rest of the park area has some flat rides; a particular interesting ride was a boat ride where you travel at high speeds and get splashed with water, but there’s an upcharge of $25.00 per person for that attraction. Too much for me…

May 19, 2025

Our last day in Texas! We start off in the Galveston Naval Museum to see the USS Cavalla (SS-244) and USS Stewart (DE-238).

Having been through a few submarines already (Cod, whatever the one in San Diego is, whatever the one adjacent to the USS Intrepid is) there isn’t particularly anything new that I haven’t seen before, though the Cavalla is notable for having sunk IJN CV Shoukaku and IJN DD Shimotsuki (of the Akizuki class destroyers). There’s a few recollections of the events in 1944 in the submarine, but I always like it when the display rooms for the mess halls and officer/crew quarter are presented as it was lived in when the ship was on duty. Did you know Listerine used to be a toothpaste brand?

USS Stewart would be the first destroyer we’ve visited. So far it’s just been BBs (Iowa/New Jersey) and CVs (Hornet, Intrepid, Midway), so by comparison this would be a relatively ‘small’ ship. The interior isn’t particularly any different from the other ships we’ve visited as far as the crew/officer quarters go. Main difference would be the types of armaments on display (smaller x inch guns and small AA guns) which are very obviously smaller than the 16 in. guns we see on Iowa class BBs. I don’t think it’s WWII tech, but they later armed destroyers with rocket clusters to be used for anti-submarine warfare, which would shoot into the water and only explode on impact with a submarine. Technology is so cool!

Next we ate at the Rainforest Cafe at Galveston. Overall the chain is understood to be overpriced for the decorations and less than stellar food. I ordered the grilled meat loaf, which came with sides of mashed potatoes, some fried onion things and carrots. It’s not out of the world, but I enjoyed it. For $30.00, relatively speaking, it’s not as expensive as the bbq we’ve been paing for… so I think it’s fine. Though for the actual reason we’re here… there’s a water ride at this Rainforest Cafe!

I don’t actually have pictures of it… you can think of it it as one of those Disney water rides with animatronics, though themed to the rainforest with zoo animals. It’s cute and I would say worth the $10.00 admission as long as you know what you’re getting into and like these kinds of dark rides.

Nearby is the Galveston Pleasure Pier – it actually costs $12.00 to enter the pleasure pier, which I personally feel is a little manipulative (I’m not aware of other amusement piers doing this)… but we’re here already, so fuck it. Unfortunately for my brother, the roller coaster he wanted to ride, Iron Shark, is currently down for maintenance, but he wanted to take a look anyway. I think the most interesting thing second to the Iron shark roller coaster would be the fact that they have a log flume ride on a pier. There’s already water below in the ocean… do you really need a water ride on a pier?

For our last supper, we arrive at The Pit Room. Since we can bring our leftovers home, we agreed to go overboard and picked up a lb of brisket, lb of ribs, 1.5 lbs of a dino beef rib, and .5 lb of pulled pork. The items overall are good, though they don’t particularly stand out against the rest of the bbq items we’ve had over the course of the trip. This isn’t to say it’s necessarily bad, it’s still good! Our favorite was the beef rib, there was so much intramuscular fat in it that made it almost as soft and melty as the best brisket points I’ve had, yet with the flavor found in ribs. Awesome!

Since my brother happened to pass by the Madame Tussaud’s wax museum in San Antonio and saw an Icee machien with Big Red (soda) as a flavor, we stopped by a 7-11 and QuikSTop to try to find it… and found it at the QuikStop we stopped at for gas to top off the rental. It’s nice and tastes exactly like Big Red, but since it wasn’t an Icee ™ machine and an offbrand freezoni the consistency of the ice/liquid was off and was difficult to drink about half-way through, where you have to shake and stir the drink to be able to drink it again.

Two days ago I actually broke one of the onaholes I brought… left it in the hotel trash. The other got flagged by TSA and the guy checking my luggage poked it to check what it was and was like oh…. ok… and moved on. Haha. I will need to remember to leave it in my checked luggage next time.

Not much else left to recap, so some self-reflection. I had fun! Probably be at least two years if I were to come back. Looking forward to possibly revisting Toronto for Canada’s Wonderland and Sandusky, OH for Cedar point next year to see the new rides there (AlpenFury, Top Thrill 2 and Siren’s Curse for those parks, respectively). Though Comiket 107 this winter comes first, so I shouldn’t get ahead of myself just yet.

When I returnm, to work on working out and walking, practicing nihongo and tile game – usual stuff, just actually doing it and not being glued to the etenral X (formerly Twitter), Discord, whatever the fuck refresh. Good luck!

I missed two days because I was tired after each day (but actually I was busy losing in tile game again lol)

May 15, 2025

To start the day my brother wanted to try a drink at CosMc’s. It’s an attempt by McDonald’s to separately break into the coffee market, as if it wasn’t already competitive enough. What caught our eyes were the churro and French toast themed coffee drinks. I did enjoy the popping boba add-on pictured in the bottom of the drink, though the outer ‘coating’ of the boba was still present as a ‘skin’ in the mouth. Perhaps real boba could be better here? Or maybe real America isn’t yet ready for that…

We made it to SeaWorld San Antonio! It turns out school is out for a lot of the kids now, so the park was pretty crowded with day field trips to the park. Luckily most of them were actually on kid rides.

Ride rankings:

1. Texas Stingray
2. Steel Eel
3. Great White Shark
4. Wave Breaker
5. Beach Rescue Racer

Texas Stingray is a nice GCI woodie, though I like California Great America’s Gold Striker better for having more vertical movement in it’s loops. It does have a a nice left-to-right roll in the middle of the track that I really like.

Steel Eel I thought was kinda bad at first on my first two rides – once in the middle and once in the back. It has big airtime hills, though as you enter the next hill my ass would slam hard back into the seat *each* time. Not comfortable! We ended the day at the park with a ride in the front car and the airtime hills were much more pleasant, so I can place this as 2nd.

Great White Shark is a B&M Invert batman clone, though a little shorter in some sections. Still a decent ride but not something I would spam here since we have Batman The Ride at home ™

Wave Breaker and Beach Rescue Racer are decent rides on their own, but just geared more as a ‘family’ ride for children/parents rather than extreme thrill seekers such as myself – so ranked down here.

Current ongoing event is the Seven Seas Food Festival, supposed to be an international food celebration with booths for different countries for their respective food types (but why does Japan get tacked with Korea’s bulgogi bowls and kalbi?). We had a few drinks I don’t remember, and I ate escargot on toast, Gator Kisses (bacon and jalapeno wrapped “gator bites”), jerk chicken and coconut rice roll and Jamaican bread pudding. It costs $70.00 for 10 items, though we ended up getting a few items that cost $6.00, so we might have gotten shorted instead of getting a deal… but oh well.

In all I think it’s a decent park – better roller coaster line-up but less animal exhibits than San Diego Sea World.

Following with the barbecue trend my brother picked out Curry Boys BBQ – a fusion of Thai cuisine and bbq meats. We ordered chips with queso, curry with chicken/brisket, and a yuzu cheesecake (yes yuzu is not thai but fuck it). I think the fusion works well together to bring smoked meats with the creaminess of Thai curries. Would recommend!

May 16, 2025

Fiesta Texas day! Unfortunately, again, tons of schools dumping their kids here so it was mega packed. Also, everything was running single trains and not all concession stands were open, which made getting refills for our Season Drink Bottle ™ unnecessarily time consuming.

Ride rankings:

1. Iron Rattler
2. Superman Krypton Coaster
3. Poltergeist
4. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster
5. Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger
6. Chupacabra
7. Boomerang Coast to Coaster

Iron Rattler is the second RMC conversion so it has only one inversion and a bit of an awkward middle section (presumably still trying to figure out what they can do with the conversions), but it carries its speed very well throughout the entirety of the ride and has very powerful ejector airtime at the end through the tunnel.

I’m partial to my Discovery Kingdom’s Medusa as it’s our ‘home park’, but I have to concede that Superman is better than Medusa. It has two great drops and great cobra roll, and is considerably longer than Medusa (which I think is already decently long).

Very impressed with Poltergeist, a Premier Rides “spaghetti bowl” it’s difficult to tell where exactly you’re going even though you can see the track in front of you because the different layers blend together as you’re going through it, ending in a powerful corkscrew.

Rest except for Dr. Diabolical are coasters I have at home ™ so not too much considered for them, but I don’t think too highly of Dr. Diabolical here. The elements and initial drop are pretty big but it does not carry its speed well due to the mid-course break run.

I ate a brisket baked potato and pork chop with brussel sprouts – brother didn’t like his braised beef, though he did enjoy the cooked apples.

Finished the day with a quick bite at Pinkerton’s – pleasantly impressed with chicken thigh, brisket hits (but not better than Franklin’s), and pork ribs came with a glaze that went great with it. We opted for the jalapeno cheese rice but i can’t say that it was particularly notable.

I woke up at 05:30 somehow, so we got ready and headed over to Franklin’s to line up!

We were initially planning to line up at around 08:00, but since we were awake we might as well not botch the plan.

Apparently the guy in front of us lined up at around 05:00, so we weren’t the first. People didn’t start trickling in until about 08:30 so 08:00 for weekdays is probably fine. Apparently some guy thinks it’s crazy to wait 4+ hours for food, but idk I guess I’m retarded.

Here’s the meats! 1.5 lbs of brisket (though they’re only two slices of point vs 9 slices of flat), .5 lbs of pork ribs, 3 sausages each of ‘original’ and ‘jalapeno cheese’, .25 lbs of turkey and .25 lbs of pulled pork.

Brisket > pulled pork > ribs > sausage > turkey

Brisket was everything i expected it to be and more. Spice amount was perfect (though my brother felt that there was too much pepper), melts in the mouth and great smoke amount. Usual reminder that I don’t think I was too far off from this when I smoked brisket ):

I wasn’t expecting much from the pulled work – has somewhat of a similar ‘pop’ in your mouth feel like the pork ribs from Terry Black’s yesterday. Everything else was decent-good; more to taste but obviously you primarily come here for the brisket. I should probably stop getting turkey as I just have yet to be impressed by bbq turkey by anyone at this point.

Next we headed down to Natural Bridge Caverns – there’s two caves with some very pretty rock formations. They’re formed by water dripping over limestone over many years (think probably hundreds of thousands rather than hundreds of years).

It’s a nice hike through the caves, although very humid with all of the dripping water. Would recommend for some nice views.

Next we have a small dinner at Iron Cactus along the San Antonio Riverwalk.

The salsa in the back has a little more flavor than the traditional tomato based salsa and was served at a warm temperature. For dishes we have Picadillo purses, which is like a Mexican wonton with meat/cheese inside, stuffed avocadoes, and Mexican meat loaf. I think the Mexican meat loaf was the most interesting dish – it uses mexican seasoning in the meatloaf, then instead of serving it with ketchup as you would for traditional meatloaf, it uses a tomato salsa instead – very fun!

Took a swing by the Alamo to get a quick peek at it. Not sure if we will have time to visit it during the day but it does look nice with the lighting effects.at night.

Time to sleep and visit San Antonio SeaWorld tomorrow. Hope iron stingray is good…!

We are currently in Austin, Texas today! Not too much happening today besides heading to the airport and flying out.

Today we ate at Terry Black’s BBQ. The first of many BBQ places for our Texas run. Hopefully we won’t get sick of it by the end.

We actually ate twice here! My brother really wanted to get more of the pork ribs since we only had one piece. My guess is that it’s cooked “competition style”, such that the flavor ‘pops’ out at you. Really good!

I’d rate the meats we got as Beef Ribs > Pork Ribs > Sausage > Brisket. I wasn’t aware that beef ribs could be just as tender as beef brisket, yet still carry the lightly burnt flavor well with the meat. Pork ribs was a surprise hit for me as it was bursting with flavor. I didn’t think too much of the brisket – it’s nice but I don’t think it particularly stood out. I’d put the sausage above the brisket as I enjoyed that more, but not more than the pork ribs.

Mac and cheese is solid and cream corn has nice flavor to it – more than just the cream cheese that’s added to it or the cheesy corn I’ve made before – some spice is giving it an extra punch. Potato salad was OK – fine but nothing special.

I’d rate it as great! We are heading to Franklin’s ™ tomorrow to eat the king of briskets. Looking forward to it!

In-between the two meals we took a river boat to see the bats flying out of the bridge at night – It’s cute to see the flock fly out of the bridge but hard to capture on phone since the bats are quite small. Unforunately I did get hit by some guano but that is how the shit flies at night.

see you tomarrow

I was supposed to finish my japan thing from the last post… I will just edit it in at some future date lol

I had to organize my onahole cabinet because I was spending too much time pulling each one out of its bag and looking at it to guess what it is, and then decide if I want to use that one or not… I have it updated in my books.xlsx sheet now so I can just look at the sheet and see which one I want to use and pull exactly that one out! Imagine the time savings I’m going to realize now…!

I also cleaned up all my doujins – I had 3 piles for unread, C104 unread, and C105 new acquisitions, so they’re all organized now.

Starting my habit tracker in earnest now… I think I can still make some updates but I like the way it looks for now.:

are you a good kot today?

not looking too good

did you do your work today: did you actually work today, since you’re supposed to be working on tax stuff every day?

did you lift: did you exercise? Admittedly since I’ve been way off track for quite the longest time I’m just going to lift light for reps to acclimate my body again (probably something like 65 lbs for overhead press/squat, 95-105 lbs for bench and 135-155 lbs for deadlift) and just start the climb from scratch again. fuck whatever i’ve been lifting before; i’m back to square one again and keeping consistency on lifting every day is more important (in the short run) then trying to get back to where I was in terms of weight lifted.

did you take a walk: did you put on your shoes and go walk around outside? usually my walks are around 45 minutes, but if I lace up my shoes and step outside I’m walking for 30 minutes minimum anyway, so for now just ‘walking outside’ is the target. maybe go longer or take multiple walks in a day if I feel like it but just getting outside is the step for consistency for now and we can specify a hard time minimum later.

did you do your japanese reps: did you review some anki cards? I think target for now is about 100 cards to review and clear; I do have a backlog of a few hundred right now but knocking out some is better than none until I catch up. After I catch up I need to actually go through my read doujin/tankoubon and mine new words and add to deck but that can come later.

Honestly I had fun today building the excel sheet and looking that my task was NO made me think to just go and fucking put my shoes on and touch the barbell. So I think it is a good step forward. Just need to see if I do it tomorrow. teehee

have a new non-habit goal I want to do to review my one mahjong game a day in detail. that will go here at https://xsa.moe/category/log/. the idea being if I spend more time actually going through it in detail the things I will pick up on naga differences will mean more if I think about it… maybe go through the log before I play the next game so I know what I need to pay attention more to and the gainz will build upon themself.

I cleaned up my twitter following and attempting to clean up my “For You” feed to be cunny and stuff – some reason I’ve gotten really frustrated reading politics stuff since it’s just lol people stupid and you know what? people will never stop being stupid so why listen to the noise? now you can see all the dirty stuff I follow on https://x.com/XSA_/following. don’t cancel me bro

ok time to file some work things away and then shower and fap and go to sleep so we can have an excellent day tomorrow and be a good kot

good night

hello

I was supposed to write about my trips to San Diego and Tokyo a while back but I never did. Doing it now…

December 15th-17th, 2024

Just some work training and walking around the village and mall after work

Yuzu Scallop Carpaccio and Grilled Halibut

we have marugame udon at home dude

we have shake shack at home dude

December 18th, 2024

Used Chase ™ rewards to book room at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. It’s a nice room!

yup it’s a hotel room

Just killed time walking around the Gaslight District and picking up some drinks until my dinner reservation.

midway christmas edition

Didn’t know they had Christmas effects for Midway… I couldn’t swing a way to get on at night since I planned to come back Saturday morning for it and didn’t want to pay for admission twice. But It’s a good view already even from afar anyway.

food @ animae

I chose one fine dining place to eat on my trip here. Apparently you’re supposed to get their Wagyu beef steak thing, but I wasn’t really in the mood for that since I eat a lot of steak already, so I opted to get their Pork Tomahawk Tocino instead. I wasn’t expecting too much from a pork dish, but it blew my expectations with every bite. Think of it like a super deluxe char siu dish.

December 19th, 2024

San Diego Sea World!

Mainly chose to came here to ride Emperor since my brother has been a roller coaster maniac for the last year and a half and I’ve let it seep into me a little bit. It’s a decent ride; probably its biggest fault being too short but it has good elements otherwise. Electric Eel is worse than Discovery Kingdom’s Superman as there’s a little brake run at the top that I don’t think Superman has since Electric eel runs three cars instead of Superman’s two cars. Manta and Arctic Rescue are kind of similar as they’re both launch coasters, but I’ll give the edge to Manta for it’s opening launch being more memorable.

Favorite animal exhibit is the penguin exhibit – Emperor penguins are the “hardest” to keep as they’re supposed to be kept in a colder temperature than the other penguins. Dolphin shows were good fun and getting your hand cleaned by the cleaner fish is tingly!

December 20th, 2024

San Diego Zoo

Looked at animals. Favorite is the Galapagos Tortoises for just crawling around for centuries. Fuck the polar bears for hiding each of the three times I came by to see them. Assholes.

December 21st, 2024

USS Midway (CV-41)

Just did a quick speedrun as I’ve been here before in 2018. Went through the bridge and decks. Had to brush up on my plane knowledge since it’s been a while since I’ve held a post as 提督.

December 28th, 2024

Fly to japan

tfw no balls to fly zipair and save money

Landed in NRT, Keisei Skyliner to Ueno and bunch of other shit to check in to hotel in Ariake. Took a walk around Toyosu Senkyoku Banrai to try to grab a bite from whatever was still open.

maruri suisan

The omake for getting the bowl is supposed to be a cup of sake or Oolong Tea – since I didn’t want to drink alcohol, we got those tiny little cups of Oolong Tea. Thanks!

December 29th, 2024

Think I tried to take a nap but didn’t get much sleep. Decided to walk over to Tokyo Big Sight at about 01:30, camped around until the line started forming at around 03:30.

the second promised land, after akiba

It’s cold outside! Luckily you can take turns leaving to go to the conbini and use the restroom as you wait in queue, so no need to worry about pissing your pants like I initially was.

I lined up for West block 4 first to pick up some stuff at the Yuzusoft corporate booth, then picked up some doujinshi and items in West block 1 (Idolmaster/Kantai Collection) and East block 1 (Blue Archive). Didn’t note that there was anything to my interest anywhere else.

hoodies, blankets, books, bags

For every 10000￥ you spend at the Yuzusoft booth, you get the little plastic ema things. Apparently those go for a ton of money on Mercari/YAJ, so you could technically buy whatever you want and then make your money back selling those online…

I was tired as fuck at about 13:30 so I called it quits and went back to the hotel to sleep. I realized that simply marking down which booths wouldn’t be good enough for day 2 due to the huge crowds and I’d need the additional time to re-map my opening route.

December 30th, 2024

I made my maps! Except I had one flaw with the East 4-6 map… I had it upside down! You actually enter from the ‘bottom’ of the map, not the top from East 1-3… didn’t realize it until I was already in East 4-6 lol

Left at about 02:50 to line up at 03:30 again, this time entering from the East blocks rather than the west blocks. Sadly the first booth I got to (しらたまこ) was already a good 150 people deep when I got there, so I took my losses and went onward.

After picking up most of the regular books, I went back to the wall booths I skipped and were able to pick up a few things. Most limited stuff starts selling out by 12:00-12:30, then ‘good’ books sell out by 14:00-15:00, so time is of the essence!

books and shit

Main lessons I would take away from my Comiket experience if I were to redo this would be:

• If Comiket is important to you, absolutely get a hotel in Odaiba/Ariake to camp out in the early morning. You’ll be ahead of everyone else who needs to take the train to get onto Odaiba, and those opening minutes are critical to getting what you want!
• Pick like 2 or 3 wall booths MAX that you want limited stuff from. There’s going to be a line for them and waiting in those will inevitably eat up your precious time to get other booth stuff. You can only wait in so many booths before other booths’ limited items will sell out, so pick your battles wisely!
• You must go through the catalog in advance to map out the circles you want to visit, and only those circles (at least on your first pass through; do whatever you want after you’re done with your route). You don’t have time to casually look around for things that will interest you, as you only get 5 hours each day(11:00-16:00).

Of course, if you wanna be casual, go for it… but to me, making it to Winter Comiket is the whole reason for my trip, so it’s important to me…!

ok it’s late and i need to whack off and sleep bye
