We waved bye bye to the Ryokan at about 6am... and again cos we are mad walked to Ueno station with our bags hehe :p Caught the morning liner to the airport and managed to get there alittle early.. problem there was our plane was delayed... 3 and a half hours ¬_¬ After spending an hour and a half checking in (what i expected in Heathrow) we went and had some breakfast. We then went to out gate and just sat there for 3 hours... sorta sleeping. We got on the plane and again 11 hours flying sads. I watched "Zoolander", "The Pusuit of Happiness", "101 Dalmations" and "Holiday" I felt really ill again thanks to my cold, but i wasn't was bad this time.. There were also no scary people on our plane. We got ... read more
As it was our last day in Japan we decided to take it easy. We slept in, then went for a walk around Asakusa again. We got lots of Purikura done, and went shopping in the 100 yen shop. We walked around the shops for abit, i think i would have liked to spend more time looking at these shops and buying more gifts for people. After going to the 100 yen shop, we sat down for abit and watching these tiny TINY boys playing football, it was soooooooooooooo chibi and kawaii XD XD We walked past a shop called "Wins" highly amusing!!!! Umm thats about all we did that day, came back and watched more TV and did more dubbing with the random americans, but i wasn't feeling at all well and i was really ... read more
TOKYO DISNEY DAY :p Today we headed out for Tokyo Disney after having a very long nights sleep. We wondered around for abit looking at all the fun disney things.. I wasn't feeling too well today as my cold was getting worst, but i wanted to go and look around. As soon as we got in there was a massive rush of disney character running around getting their photos taken.. they had been let loose... Scrooge tried to steal my map i was sads hehe :p We bought Chocolate popcorn and sat down for abit. We also went to the Toystory pizza place and ordered chips hehe and mickey mouse shaped burgers heeh. We managed to catch one of the parades it was soo cool we got to see loads of characters and i got to ... read more
吉澤ひとみ Graduation Concert OMG it's the concert day today, i was soooooooooooooo excited, but things weren't quite going to plan... nothing i seem to want to do goes to plan.. It rained today which made the day feel even more gloomy, i was starting to develop a cold and was feeling really under the weather, and there was a really strange incident with the guys which involved us leaving late for the concert... OH YEAH and i forgot my binoculars. I thought i had woken the guys up, i could hear keyboard tapping from their room and one time i thought i heard someone answer me, but at 12pm i went to look in on them and they were still asleep it was really weird. Anyway after they had got ready we headed off to Saitama ... read more
Today was Tokyo Tower day. After our morning breakfast of apple pie and fruit juice, we headed off to to the tower. First I wanted to go to TV Tokyo to hunt down Yossie XD as usual she wasn't there...she was most likely enjoying her last day as a morning musume member :p Anyway after taking photos of the TV Tokyo building we headed off towards Tokyo Tower.... we kinda made a detour to this shop which sold make up, I bought some foundation, eye shadow, eye liner and mascara. The lady was sooooooooooo nice, she gave us tonnes of free gifts inluding lip gloss, more foundation, a make up kit etc... she also saw how hot we were feeling and gave us a free orangy drink... it was quite nice :) After the freebies we ... read more
Ok after abit of sleep, we got ready to have a fairly quiet day. I bumped into Rob and told him the adventures of the plane, and went to have a shower... soooooo needed. Our plans for today were to go to Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku. First we went to Mister Dounuts for our morning Fruit Juice and Apple Pie :p Soooooooooooo tasty. As usual we woke up far too early for the shops to be open so we walked to Ueno Park. It was greenery day today so we managed to get into Ueno Zoo for free. We saw pandas, red pandas, bears, elephants sooo many animals. After looking at all the animals we made our way to the first Hello! Project shop of the day :p There wasn't anything left that i wanted so ... read more
So it’s the first day in Japan.. I’m sooooooo excited… we landed at 9.15am this morning and yeah well didn’t start too well. Once we had been dropped off at the train station, kira and I went for a quick coffee and biscuit at Starbucks before heading off on the Skyliner to Ueno Station. Mad as we are, and sick of being on any moving transport we decided it would be fun to walk from Ueno station to The Taito Ryokan where we are staying. It was like an 8 min walk but it took us a little bit longer… we got a tiny bit lost :p I did get to practice my basic Japanese… Me: すみません、どこですか。 Lady: いま。 Me: はい。 Lady points at map Me: ありがとぅございます。 Yeah so that was it XD so basic ... read more
This morning before we went to the airport, Kira and I went to the post office for funs… O.o sorta…. We then went to sainsburys for last min foods for flights. When we got back we watched some random mid day TV (Rubbish as usual) and the wonderful new that a helicopter had gone missing.. That is all that was on the TV I was kinda bored.. oh yeah and OK and Hello Magazines were still arguing :p Anyways back to travelling…. We left for the airport, our driver was INSANE.. I swear her was speeding!! He didn’t wear his seat beat and was just scary dodging in and out of cars :s. We got to the airport and it literally took us 5 mins to get though Heathrow check in and Security, I was sooooo ... read more
