Spinach goes Picnic: My version of the japan trip

Well well..... Dango had written hers and since I'm kinda bored in the office, might as well try to gather some inspiration and write mine.

Hmm...now it's been almost 1 week since we are back..but seem like longer. Kinda miss those times...so carefree.

We reached Tokyo on early Sunday and quickly proceed to visit Shibuya. What I like about their traffic is that "Pedestrains are the greatest" where all vehicles stops and humans can anyhow cross at a junction. See right photo.
But we were bored but they have the best ramen we have eaten for the while trip cause its very salty!

We visited the Sunshine Plaza the next day on my sister recommendation.

Nearly visited a aquarium...but only take photo with the interesting artifacts at the door.

Shopping was done mostly at UniGlo...cheap and make in Japan! Lucky dango got a bermuda there or else she really got nothing much to wear. And yah, i got a perfume cheap cheap on the way back to hotel via a shopping street.

Like the Ikebukuro guest house although 1st impression wasn't good. Like its green tea machine, their breakfast but too bad it's communal toliet. I think I slpt best there and in osaka..more of that later.

Hmm..I think I should stop the narration since it's a repetition and just pick photos & comments ...

Big cedar trees...what best was the video clip Dango took inside the forest.

So cute of her not to point out my mistake. keke . Nice view at Hakone ..cool and windy..had a romantic walk down a secluded road recommended by the host, blowing dandelion ..
Don't like the host though , don't like that place cause I have to ask for hot water. *bleah*

My 1st traditional o-k-o-n-o-m-i-y-a-k .....hard to pronounce la..my England no good mah... Yum yum...

Visited Universal Studio on the 2nd day we were at Osaka....

and more universal studio pic...

The jurassic park ride was one of the best cause we were so scared to get wet, so we were praying that we don't get the front seats. Were we glad when we were seated in the middle. Too bad we didn't go bad for 2nd ride. Also regreted not getting my baby niece the Elmo popcorn bucket. =(

Osaka Castle...*yawn* Educational though....we felt like a couple of retirees making our way there and snacking in the park ...so like Dango said ' you zhai xian zhai"...

Osaka acomm is best to me in terms of cost, toliets and services. Got fridge and free bottled water everyday. Nice western beds finally! After Osaka we went Kitkasuura for hotspring ,it was quite a journey there cause of long train journey. At night we had free tuna head for dinner ( see right pic taken by my hp..gd hor, even if its so dark at night) and went for hotspring finally! Was hot lucky got outdoor bath and we were the only ones there. A bit paiseh when we knew we should get naked cause everyone else there were, but we still stick to our swim suit in the end.= P

The next day we had a sumptous breakfast and head back to tokyo. My luggage was exceptional heavy even though I didn't buy anything. Hmmm... think I brought "something" to tokyo... reach Ueno hotel at 9pm and slept early that night cause we were damn tired . Next day we just walked around asakusa and Ameyoko market.

On the 3rd last day, we initally just planned to go Disneyland but we were hit by the rains and decide to get 2 day passport instead of 1 day only. A wise move indeed cause DisneySea was better than Disneyland but we thought otherwise initally. Lucky us!

DisneySea Oceano Pic... ' All aboard! Aye aye captain...." Yeah, like real...more like , "Aiyo..so sunny! " Dango kept sweating but I feel it was a cooling day...It rained in the morning afterall. The ship actually contains 2 restuarants but we didn't bother to go in...what to do, lazy bums..look at those stairs leading to the ship!
