I went to Koyasan with the Gakuranman in this episode of TofuguTV. Koya has got to be one of my favorite places ever. Maybe Ill go live there to escape the billion emails in my inbox.
Oh, and choose what you want to see next:
1. Animatronic Sex Museum
or
2. Haikyo with Gakuranman
... we all know youre going to choose Sex Robots, but its worth a shot, anyways...
