旅行, Ryokou, Travel: May 2010

Today was cool. Awesome actually! I went shopping at this store called UniClo and got LOTS of cute stuff! and this time it was cheap!

We got something to eat in Ginza again. We were going to go to the same sushi restaurant that we went to yesterday but it was packed! So we went to the restaurant across from that one. It was very good.

Green tea noodle. Served cold

idk i forgot, but it was good

forgot this one too. but it taste good.

this is chicken tonkatsu i think

Scallop with a side of rice, warm soup and cold soup

After that, we went walking some more. This time we could walk in the middle of the road because from 12-4 the roads (most of them) are blocked off for shopping.

We went to the closest subway station so we could go back to the hotel but it was the wrong station so we had to go back and on the way we saw this flower statue with real flowers is it!

the flowers not the forehead

it was cool. Then i FINALLY found the music store i had been looking for all day! I got a few CD's :D. We had to leave a bit sooner though because my brothers had to pee.

This is the subway. At night time the ceiling lights up
some how. Its really pretty!

The thingy i hold on to.

I caught this guy who was running RIGHT before the
door closed. Nice timing.

When we got back to the hotel, we went to the small market inside and got a few snacks. Then went back to our room :)

SHOUT OUT! to my friend Essence. I know you love these
STRAWBERRIES!

This is a wax figure to the cakes in the boxes under it.
Dont they look real?

This was across from the store. these ties were pretty
so i took a pic.

One of the snacks i got from inside the tokyo tower. it
was pretty alright i liked it. it has vanilla bread on the
outside and a strawberry and vanilla custard inside.

Oh yea and by the way, did i tell you that why we were shopping i saw...rainbow...roses. and they were real o_0. THATS AWESOME! Ive always loved rainbows!!...but then gay people went and stole it so now i have to be careful when i use rainbows -_-

Today was a nice day. We went to Akihabara which is the electronic part the the HUGE tokyo mall. I got to experience a 3D TV. It was cool. Heres a picture of the street we were on as we left. it was raining

After that we went to this BEAUTIFUL Japanese garden where my family and i got to experience our first Japanese Tea Ceremony. Heres the garden pictures.

These flowers are called wisteria i think. O-M-G they
smell SO good!

This tree is extremely old, i forgot how old exactly but i
think its about 700 years old....

I thought this light was cool so i took a picture.

Here are the tea ceremony pictures. It was really cool.
They gave you these really awesome sweets. Then after
that, you drink your tea. They give you step by step
directions on how to do so.

The tea wasnt like most green tea, this was different and
more pure kind i guess. It had foam on top. I did not like
this tea, it had no sugar, but the sweet that it came with
helped, but still....i didnt like it buuuut i drank it all out
of respect. :)

After all of that, we went on a boat ride. We went under
13 bridges. I got a picture of all of them i think....maybe
12. There was this really adorable little asian boy. He
looked about 4 years old. He was too cute! i wanted to
give him a hug so badly but since i didnt know him and
didnt want to freak him out, i refrained from doing so.
He spoke mandrin. I could understand a little of what he
was saying but not much. I could tell that he was asking
alot of questions though. Ha-ha just like a kid.

Isn't my family just BEAUTIFUL!? lol.

this boat looked like it had too much junk in the trunk.

when the boat went to go park, i saw this wall i thought
was cool

After that, we went to Ginza to get some money exchanged
then we went next door to this mall/restaurant. IT-WAS-SO
CLEAN!! You could just lay down on the floors! lick em if you
wanted to!! but anyway :) we arrived at this sushi restaurant.
All the sushi we ordered was completely fresh! Nothing from
target or costco. lol. Everything was delicious. I was kinda afraid
to eat the pieces of raw fish that were really big. I've never eaten
a big piece before, but i sucked it up and ate it anyway and....I
actually liked it :). I also had miso soup with white radish and
green onion. o_0 that was pretty good too!

I ate this egg custard. It was......okay, but i ate most of it
anyway and the i got to the bottom, all this stuff started
popping up. There was crab, a certain type of mushroom,
a potato thingy, and something called a ginko nut. I liked
all the surprises at the end of the cup. Im glad i ate it to
see what was all in there. lol.

After that i stood outside for a bit and people watched, since
i tend to do that alot. I saw lotz of cute/cool clothes and shoes.
The Japanese have style ;) (see! i TOLD you i belonged there!!)

Later on we went to Shibuya where i went shopping YEA! \_^_^_/
Those stores were EXPENSIVE though 0_0 so i just got a few shirts.
While i was in one of the stores, i noticed these cute high heels on
someone. The entire outfit was kinda slutty though. the 5 inch heels
were paired with fish net stockings and booty shorts. I looked up at
the long-legged person and noticed that she looked rather...manly.
Well thats because it WAS a man. LOLOLOL never seen i cross
dresser before...that was an adult. but...anyway, it was getting
late and everyone was really tired so we headed back to the hotel.
