  • One last shopping trip!

    December 23, 2019 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    So I basically spent the entire time picking up trinkets and small souvenirs (I don't do big gifts), but the last stop had to be at Don Quijote (the MEGA one). I filled up maybe 3/4 of a basket thinking that it was not that much and I still had plenty of space, but by the time they had wrapped it up I started to panic LOL

    I also never knew that face masks were so heavy???

  • Very relaxing walk

    December 24, 2019 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

    So I've never come to this park because it's 500 yen to get in and I'm like whatever it's just a park

    Today I went anyway because I'm determined to have a chill day and urban sketching in a park sounds like a great idea

    I can see how it would be super nice when the weather is a little warmer, though I feel like everyone in the pan is a tourist lol

  • I thought Shibuya was bad

    December 24, 2019 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    So for reference, Shibuya station in March was bad because of all the construction and it's a main station with multiple lines so obviously lots of people lots of confusing signs etc etc

    Shinjuku is worse lol

    Took me a while to find the gate I wanted, which wasn't really marked either so I had to recruit help from the JR staff 😭
