paper boats


It's gonna be full steam ahead this long weekend, trying to vomit (womit) out at least 4000 words before I leave for Melbourne on Thursday to spend time with my brother plus friends in melb. And when I get back it'll be a mad rush to start on and finish another essay. The thought of pounding away at my laptop nonstop is enough to make me wanna cry. Positivity! More Tokyo photos, though I think these will be the last I post for awhile.

disneysea!!!
After years and years of whining about not going to Disneyland/DisneySea despite going to Tokyo EVERY YEAR, I finally got to go this time! With my sister and my half-jap cousin, Shogo! YAY! My other cousin Keigo was supposed to come as well, but he (as always) threw a tantrum and bailed that little douche.
Shogo reading the map. We changed trains (unnecessarily so) like 5 TIMES!
Now the sad thing about DisneySea is that there is no Cinderella's Castle!!! Oh woe. But the rides were pretty fun, Indiana Jones, Mystery Island, Some other roller coaster thing... plus the chillax stuff in the Mermaid Kingdom or something... and the best and most scary one was the Tower of Terror! Really liked that one, but screamed until I lost my voice teehee
I had Minnie Mouse Apple Ice Bar! It was yummy and I was freezing.
One of the staff used a broom and water to draw! Hahah we just stood there in awe.
Shogo trying to be Rocky Balboa
At the end of the day the sun was setting and we were starting to freeze! Shogo only wore a blazer because it was so sunny in the day and I had to lend him my scarf and whip out my new beanie heehee
I wore: boots from HK, black rat tights, f21 singlet, cheap monday jumper, houndstooth coat from a random shop in sydney, f21 beanie in mustard, disney couture ring (since I was in Disney!) and miumiu bag
This is the photo they caught of us on the Tower of Terror hahah we're on the right, screaming like crazy
A really cute little girl! Her mother tied the balloon to her little ponytail and was laughing at her wandering around cuteness
After this we went to have dinner at a Tabei Ho Dai (don't know if that's right, but basically its an eat all you can shabu/sukiyaki place, we were so hungry we inhaled everything). Apparently Lost in Translation was filmed here, but I don't remember seeing it when I caught the film...
Random photos:

A really cool Audi Showroom/Building in Shibuya, right smack in the middle of a busy shopping street! Damn cool methinks.

Harajuku station outside the Meiji Dori Shrine/Park, which is the nearest station to where we stayed. Super central and always always bustling.
Cutest dog ever. It was just staring at people go buy on a busy street at peak hour.
This cool building in Shinjuku somewhere has a CASTLE ON TOP OF IT! How awesome is that right?!?!?
