day 7 - tokyothat would be sat.
susi, song and i decided to go for disneyland while the other 2 guys explored akihabara.
we set off early to have brunch together and i think that was also the day that we discovered the magnificient chou's puff ^^
back to disneyland, it is exactly as how i imagined it, which is good.
they're celebrating their 25th bday that week so you can imagine the crowd, especially since we went there on sat.
we lost song not long after we stepped inside, so susi and i decided to have girls outing =p
she was totally frustrated with the queue though. well i can't blame her. with more than 2 hours queue just for a 3 mins peter pan ride.. who wouldn't?
and you had to queue for another 2 hours just to take a pic together with mickey mouse..
at the end, we only managed to take a few rides, BUT we certainly had lots of fun with the shooting game (which i won haha) and the roller coaster.
ended the day with short shopping time and the night parade.
met up with song again at the castle entrance, it's really very beautiful at night.
i guess the biggest disappointment for us would be the cancellation of the fireworks due to weather. i was really looking forward to it.
oh well.
i left the place somehow feeling unsatisfied. reunited with the 2 guys for coffee at ueno before we all went back together.
and one day just passed like that ><
day 8 - the day that i had operation suicide
we knew that we were going to harajuku that day so susi and i decided to dress up a little bit like the jap gals- dress and leggings..
it was a wrong move.
we started the day at asakusa to visit the so called famous lantern. it was raining again and the weather was really really cold. i began to regret not wearing jeans.
we had our next stop at akihabara. it was too cold that i couldn't really enjoy the 'anime land' fully. i couldn't wait to hide inside the building... lol.. nevertheless, it was quite an amazing sight seeing all the anime goodies that they have there.. i was very much tempted to buy some. and yes we could see some guys were actually having cosplay..
from there, we took a train down to harajuku, takeshitadori to be exact.
i was very much amazed with girls who wore mini skirt, i wonder how they endure the freezing wind? well, i was pretty much half dead so i decided to buy a coat. LOL.
spent some time there and managed to buy a few cheap stuff. i thought it was a very fruitful trip. susi would definitely agree with me.
next, we stopped by at shinjuku for a while. i bought a nice small black umbrella haha.. it has never left my bag until today.
our last stop was ropponggi. the temperature kept going down and i could hardly feel my fingers by then. but anyway, the place is quite fascinating. we could see tokyo tower ><
and that concludes my coldest day in tokyo.
haha. no more leggings. ever.
