Around the world with Nancy: Tokyo

Today Nancy's really exited: she's about to start her own personal World Tour!!!

Willy Fog is giving her wise advises before she leaves Barcelona and starts the great adventure...

Nancy can't sleep inside the plane, she spends all the whole long flight watching movies

Finally, here we are, Tokyo!!!

Nancy takes the Yamanote Line train to get to the heart of the city

 This is Shibuya, so many people, so many lights and sounds... It's great!!!

 In Tokyo you never know what you can find; for example a robot in Big Camera ...

and what about Nakano Broadway?

 The paradise of Toy and Doll Lovers!!!

Akihabara can be also a great place to set free the Otaku that everybody hides inside...

 

The heat in August in Tokyo can be suffocating...

and you have always to be aware of the Crab Boy's attack!

 Nancy goes to a Kaiten Sushi restaurant, but not a traditional one!

  You order your food in the screen and...

 the dishes come to you as fast as a Shinkansen train!!!

 To use the chopsticks can be a problem...

But Nancy is a fast learner, specially when it comes to eating!!!

And if you want a souvenir of this postmodern meal, just insert a coin

Japan is the Empire of the vending machines!!!

Nancy learns that if you want to become  a Cute Japanese Girl...

you can't miss Takeshita Street in Harajuku!!!

Now Nancy has transformed in a real Tokyo Girl!

 Yesss! They recognise she's one of them!

 But there's something missing... some shiny accesories for her hair!

 In the mythical Kiddy Land a girl can find any of the latest gadgets she may need!

Now Nancy's ready for the Tokyo social life!

 She goes out at night and discovers that tough it's not permitted to smoke in the streets of Tokyo, 

but you can do it inside the bars!!!

 After her initial Cute Girl phase with many intense otaku and consumer chapters, 

Nancy decides that she wants to become a Maiko, an apprentice Geisha.

But she discovers that to wear a kimono is not enough, 

she should always to carry an umbrella to protect her white skin from the sun!!!

She has to learn to distinguish among hundreds of different types of sake

She has also to know the basics of the traditional japanese architecture

And to walk appropiately in the temples

She also has to learn to enjoy the secrets of the traditional japanese subtle sweets

After some days of hard training, she feels ready to meet some other young maikos

 On her last night in Tokyo, Nancy goes to some really special place...

The Robot Restaurant

 What a crazy place!!!

The show is amazing...

 Shiny horses that sing...

 Acrobat girls that fight...

Dragons that expel fire...

Rolling silver pianos...

 And impressive robots that dance, of course!

At the end of the show, Nancy can't miss the chance to take a picture with one of the stars!

The Tokyo Stage of her World Tour is ending and Nancy is happy and sad at the same time

She's sad to leave Tokyo and all the amazing things she has found and learn here,

but she's also happy 'cause she knows there will be still many exiting new things in the next stages of her trip
