Midnight of 5th June her at Japan, Osaka!
Brief summary of Japan trip so far:
Day 1 - Plane ride in Delta arriving at 2 plus at Narita, took the Narita Express to Tokyo and then decided to walk to our hotel at Ginza. We reached Tokyo Station at 4:15pm on the dot and didnt arrive at the 15 minutes away hotel until 6 plus... We were LOST haha
Ventured around Ginza after checking in, had ramen for dinner and went to UniGlo to shop. It was the UniGlo flagshop and had five storey!
Day 2 - DISNEY! But we went Tsukiji Fish Market first since it was pretty near to our hotel. Had lunch there as well. The dead fishes were gross though...
We decided to go Disneyland since it was a monday and thus probably less people...we were WRONG. It was freaking crowded. 10 hours and only managed 5 rides, 1 dinner, 2 parades and one firework event including souvenir shopping.
Day 3 - Set out for Hakone! Lunch at Odawara Station, a small shop selling udon and soba at cheap prices from a vending machine. The later half of the day was spent at Yunessun in lots of Onsen :D
Day 4 - A super long day. Woke up super early and made our way to Moto Hakone to take a sight seeing pirate ship, which took us to Tougendai where we sat the cable car to Owakudani and ate the Black Eggs, had black ramen for lunch and watching smoking craters for a while. Tried hard to find Mt. Fuji on the cablecar but failed! Too much clouds.
WHY SO SHY FUJI-SAN?
After that, took the train to Gora where we caught a bus up to Gotemba where all the Premium outlets of expensive shops are. Only had a little less than two hours to walk around before its time to go back though...
Day 5: Bye bye Hakone, we made our way to Osaka.
Heartbreak. It was the day I thought I could visit the Osaka branch Johnny Shop and then it rains! Plus the others were too busy shopping to care about me wanting to go to some random place. If only I was clever enough to tell them "Bye, see you later, I'm going there now" I wont be so regretting things now...
And they somehow plan the rest of the trip when I was sleeping previous night and I wont be able to visit the shop for days!!! Even when its so neare my hotel... I swear this is a super good way to torture me loh... And the worst thing is they dont care ):
Day 6: Kyoto... It was near enough to ten that I wanna wait a bit for the Johnny Shop to open before going when I was told that I'm a spoit brat who is whining about not being able to get my candy...
Zzz.
The Johnny Shop is so near yet so far,, can you blame me? The main reason that made me go Japan, 15 minutes away on foot, but we cant spare any seconds to go Johnny boys >.<
Kyoto was EXTREMELY CROWDED btw, and super hot with a burning sun. Wish I was back in Tokyo with the nice cooling weather.
End of brief report! Tomorrow is Nara. Once again it was deemed that there is totally no time for Johnny Shop at all.
