Melting on a man made beach
12 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Travelling on from the fantastic views at Seaside Top I arrived at Odaiba. I was a bit peckish so I stopped off and bought some onigiri to snack on then made my way towards the river. Turns out there is a man made beach there. The weather being as it was, unlike me? I really wanted to find some shade (I was already feeling a bit burnt from my trip around the Imperial Gardens). I managed to find a nice rock under around tree to sit and have my onigiri snacks admiring the view and watching the futuristic waterbus depart.

After my sit down around the the beach I went in search of the Giant Gundam at Divercity Mall. On the way I met up with a replica Statue of Liberty and passed the Fuji TV building . I found the Gundam and I was so impressed by it. It looked so cool!

I was still melting(burning) so I went inside the mall to cool off. Had a nose around a few clothes shops thinking I will get a couple of t-shirts...Er no, most of them were size XXS. I guess there's no room for fatties here in Japan haha

I decided to make my way back to the hotel after that. I was so tired from being in the hot humidity for 8 hours that I ended up falling asleep. I know, boring. My friend tells me Odaiba is beautiful at night time so maybe I can have another trip here if I have timeBaca selengkapnya

Gotta Catch em' all!
13 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
I was due to meet my friend Noriko today but I had a little bit of time before that so I took a stroll to the Pokémon Mega Centre. It was amazing! Shelves head to toe with Pokémerch and the actual Pokémon Centre theme song playing. It took me right back to playing Pokemon Blue back in the day. They had big statues of blue Mega Charizard, Mega charizard with Pikachu sitting on top of him Daenerys style. There was just so much I could have bought but restrained myself with a little Pikachu. I may have to go back if I have time.Baca selengkapnya

Meeting an old friend
13 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
After my trip to the Pokémon Centre I hopped on a train to Shinjuku and met with my friend Noriko. I can't believe we have known each other for 10 years now. We made our way to Roppongi Hills as Noriko was taking me to a Studio Ghibli exhibit. It was so cool seeing all the Ghibli memorabilia and actual concept art. We had a great time catching up, remembering old times. We got some great pictures of Tokyo from the observation deck. It was a rainy day but still a great view. We stopped off for a quick lunch then made our way to Shibuya.Baca selengkapnya

Criss Crossing
13 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
My friend Noriko offered to take me on a little walk through Shibuya to Harajuku. It was great seeing the Shibuya crossing (the one in all the movies) again. We then moved onto Ometosando where Noriko showed me Kiddyland. I remember buying a DBZ t-shirt from there on my last visit. I came out with a little Moomin plush and had to drag myself away from all the cool figurines. Maybe I should go back for them? I would never get them all on the planeBaca selengkapnya

So many People
13 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
After my little splurge at Kiddyland we then made our way to Harajuku. It was SO busy, wading through a sea of people. All you can see down the main street is people's heads. I don't remember it being so busy last time I was here. Thank you Noriko for showing me aroundBaca selengkapnya

Last minute food plans
13 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
I finished my day with Noriko and took myself back to the hotel when I got a message from my friend Sayaka asking if I wanted to meet with her for dinner after she finished work. We arranged for me to jump the train to Ebisu as she did the same so we would get there around the same time. I quickly got changed and made the journey. We tried a couple of restaurants but they were full so we walked for bit and managed to get into one.
She ordered us a couple of dishes, oyster, 2 types of sashimi, sour gourd and fried sardine. It was my first time trying oyster and it was not how I expected it to taste. I expected a very salty taste but it was not salty at all to me. It was a slight meaty taste. We had such a laugh chatting away and remembering old conversations. Man she is a fast drinker though. I was a whole pint of grapefruit sours behind her. Next time I see her we will be going to Mount Fuji 😀Baca selengkapnya

Shinagawa, Japan
14 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Today I was to be heading to Nikko. My friend Agasei wanted me to meet her at Shinagawa and then set off from there. This meant I had to brave the rush hour crush on the train from Ikebukuro. At first I was a bit worried when everyone piled onto the train and I was squished against so many people but as we cleared a few stations I managed to shift myself to a part of the carriage where I had better leverage to push back against the swarm of commuters. I held onto this prize location for the rest of the ride and reached Shinagawa on time. I can't imagine having to do that every morning to get to work. Phew!Baca selengkapnya

My friend Agasei and I switched trains at Asakusa where we went to the tourism office to book a round trip and attraction ticket. I wasn't exactly sure which ticket Agasei chose really but we set off anyway for a 2 hour journey.Baca selengkapnya

Unfortunate ticket choices
14 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
We arrived at Tobu Nikko station and got ourselves a bus ticket to travel around the area. I was really aware of the time as I knew the ticket type we had could only be used on certain trains. We stopped off at one of the many shrines and then found out that the ticket we bought didn't cover the shrine areas so we made the decision to head to a spa that Agasei had booked us into.Baca selengkapnya

Onsen spa time
14 Juli 2016, Jepang ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
We arrived at the spa and got changed into the brown hotel comfy clothes. Agasei wasn't too fond of the outfit as she preferred to wear yukata. Our room had 2 small double beds, a small tatami area and on the balcony had our own hot spring bath. It looked very fancy.
Agasei asked if I wanted to try the public hot springs or would I prefer our private one. I was very hesitant as the public spring usually have rules about having tattoos and the personal one I felt a bit self conscious. We filled the personal one up just in case but we decided to sit and have a couple of drinks first. It was good chatting, catching up then later on we headed down to check out the public spring and gym and found out we could borrow yukata. Agasei was happy about this so we requested and went back to the room to change. It was so cool wearing yukata. Agasei had me posing here there and everywhere to take pictures. I'm not so good at posing the way she wanted me to but oh well.
I finally plucked up the courage and we went down to the public spring. It was empty so I don't know own why I was panicking so much hehe. Anyway it was so hot but it felt good. I really enjoyed just relaxing and chatting with Agasei. It was close to 11pm and we were both feeling sleepy so we washed off and went back to our room and got our heads down for sleep. My first hot spring experience! 😀Baca selengkapnya
