I had to follow tat Chip and Dale around cos they don’t seem to want to take pictures with ‘adults’... they keep on running to little children, babies to take pics with them, and we adults have to follow them and grab them desperately in order to stop them to take picture. Oh yes the popcorn tub... Cute right? Haha

One thing I like about the place is everywhere you go, for every ride, there’s a sign to tell you what’s the waiting time, or when’s the next show. Very tourist friendly place, and no worries about language and communication. There’re signs everywhere in english. Just tat you’ll hear Mickey Mouse talking in Japanese tat’s all.

Fireworks started at 8pm. But a bit too short.. My cousin say the Hongkong one lasted almost half hour. This one only like 10 mins. After tat, we went to the shop outside Disneyland to shop. There’s actually this HUGE shop just beside the train station that sells almost everything tat you can find inside the themepark. I think it’s for people who want to just buy disneyland stuff but don’t want to spend money going inside. Tat place closes at 11pm.. so we spent like one n half hour inside there, well... spending money... haha


3rd day we went Yokohama... Nothing much there la... The roller coaster was though fun but was too short. Still miss the Goldcoast ones... sigh... Those were more than shiok. The Chinatown was so commercialised.. and things so expensive. So in the end, we went back to Harajuku 100 yen shop... haha...


Day 4, we went to Mitaka... My sis day dream night dream also dreaming of tat place. Nice place, bought lots of things again. But the typhoon was approaching... so weather was rather bad... kept on raining. The wind was so strong tat our umbrellas kept on ‘flipping’ back. We finally understood why Japanese like to hold the long transparent umbrellas. Cos they don’t ‘flip’ like our foldable ones, and you can hold it in front of you to block the wind/rain, and still see where you’re going! Haha.

Anyway, then we went to Shinjuku, the ‘Orchard Road’ of Japan. We went to Tokyu Hands... a 7 storeys megashop... selling stationary and craft. Well, you can imagine, I went crazy there again la... I also bought a nice ‘Porter’ bag, not cheap.. $100 over... but worth it la. Then we found Krispy Cremes!!! And they actually give you a free donut when you’re queueing. Nice right? Tat was our dinner anyway... we bought a dozen. So 3 each. I tell you, after eating Krispy Cremes, you’ll NOT want to eat any donut found in Singapore.

Anyway, we were SOO lucky. When we went back, turned on the tv, the news annouced tat all trains are stopped because the typhoon is coming. All the people at the train stations are stranded. We are so lucky we were home. And the Typhoon hit tokyo at midnight.. when we were sleeping like pigs haha... My sis said she felt the house shake... My cousin said could be a tremor... But... I didn’t feel anything.. hehe

Oh.. ate ramen for lunch... SOO nice... nothing in Singapore can beat it man...


Last day. Went to Nippori, which according to a tourist book on Tokyo, has a street tat sells lots of traditional toys and sweets. But in the end, the whole place look totally different from the map we had in the book! But after much trial and error, we actually found the place haha... Nice place. Bought lots of sweets, bought back to distribute to students haha...



Then went to Asakusa... Also another famous shrine in Japan which also has a street tat sells lots of traditional tidbits and handicraft. Ramen for lunch again... Ooooo... delicious...

Went back earlier to shop around Ikebukuro.


Following day was our flight, which was in the afternoon. So we went to walk around the neighbouhood... shop again. Haha...


Sounds boring ah? Always shopping? But there are some things tat’re really cheap in Japan. Like Japan brand facial products. It’s at least 20% cheaper here. Things are expensive, but there’re of course things tat you can only find in Japan. Oh.. and MUJI is damn cheap. The Singpore outlets are sucking our blood.


Sigh... I want to Go Back!! But no money liao... must stock up first haha...
