Okay! Tokyo is awesome .. nuff said   so to make the experience more awesome be sure to have some kind of plan of action when you get there - book a tour or something in advance if you're in a hotel so you won't waste a trip. Go see the Castle, go visit Tokyo tower, fend off some ninjas at a local ramen bar and hook up with school girls and get a giggle or two at the local mall - if you see a girl and she looks like she just stepped off the mothership .. she's probably a hooker (don't do it) Something you'll really need to know is bring exact change and lots of it - if you go to a bar and the bar tender offers you something just say "no" unless there is something of interest then you ask for that. This sounds kinda dumb but if you speak english and want something simple ask for it like you have a mouth full of water - you'll be surprised how far along you get* (safety not guaranteed) Bring a towel - sounds like a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tip but you'll need hand towels and napkins when you're out and about because public restrooms may not have TP for you to use. Also to give you an idea of how many people are there - imagine taking all of everybody in the United States and moving them to a place roughly the size of California. Don't touch the hand rails - old people like to dig in their nose and pick their ass in public and they have to wipe it off somewhere. Its easy to get around if you know where you're going .. you just have to match the letters (mostly kanji) with the map and the local train depot. Also a police station is located next to every train depot. Take your time .. enjoy your time. If you like the nightlife and like to boogie there is alwasys omething happening somewhere - just don't get caught up in bullshit. If you're a foreigner (especially and American) you are automatically guilty .. so RUN! (j/k) Best Mexican Food Outside of Mexico and San Antonio, Texas can be found in Sagami Hara Japan - EVER! The average meal is about $40 bucks .. if you want to eat good - or you can go to the noodle hut or alley bar for some eats
