2009 Japan Trip - Day 4 [Shinjuku, Ueno and Harajuku]

Today is the 4th day in Japan, and this is shopping day!

We went out with guh-guh and Bob koh-koh. Our first destination was Ueno, because there is a big toy store there - Yamashiroya. I bought a hard cover Power Rangers magazine at one of the book store. Guh-guh bought for me from Japan before, and this time I got the chance to choose and buy by myself!!

I really like the 7 floors Yamashiroya very much, there are a lot of toys, games, I have bought a Transformer toy, an original DS game. Mummy bought some little gifts and handphone stickers from here too. After done with my shopping and Bob koh-koh's too, we went to the shopping mall next door where mummy and guh-guh did their shopping. Bob koh-koh and I sat down comfortably for our reading and DS-ing.

After taken our delicious lunch, we took the train to Harajuku - the Tokyo large and luxury shopping district. There are a lot of branded and designer shops along the street. A lot of fashionable and young pepole dressed in a variety styles. There are also certain area with affordable shops. We kept our luggage in the electronic luggage locker at the Harajuku train station, very convenience! Mummy did quite a lot of shopping here. We went for an afternoon tea at Wendy's before took the train back to Shinjuku.

I was playing with my new Transformer toy at night while daddy and mummy busy with the packing. We are checking tomorrow early morning and going to youngest guh-guh's house by the airport bas.

2009 Japan Trip - Day 3 [Tokyo Disney Sea]

We woke up an hour later than yesterday as the Disney Sea open at 8:30am. We took our breakfast in the hotel room, some sandwiches and cup noodles bought from 24 hours convenience store..yummylicious!!

It was a windy day today. All the cartoon characters welcoming us at the entrance. Once the door opened, mummy rushed in with me to take photos with the cartoon characters. We visited the following places:-

1. Mediterranean Harbour (the re-creation of Venice)
2. Mysterious Island (the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea dark ride)
3. Mermaid Lagoon (the Flounder's Flying Fish Coaster)
4. Arabian Coast (It's a small world, animated film - Aladdin, Magic Lamp Theater) We had our afternoon tea here.
5. Lost River Delta. Daddy wanted to go for the dard ride at Indian Jones Adventure but I am under age.
6. Port Discrovery
7. American Waterfront (New York Harbour, Cape Cod)

The most excited attraction would definitely be the Tower of Terror thrill ride. It was really heart stopping thrilling! In fact, daddy thot it was just a tour to visit the very tall hotel-alike building with some explanation by the cast member. We felt something wasn't that right when we were brought up to to queue up to enter an 'elevator-alike' room. We were divided into groups, about 25 in a group. The 'elevator-alike room' is actually the 'cinema-alike' room, we were instructed to sit down, fastern the automobile-style three-point seat belt and grip the belt on our left handside. I was sitting in between daddy and mummy. Oh No!! Our truly exhilarating ride to the top has began!! It moved up and down super fast! The doors opened and we got a bird's-eye view of DisneySea from high up in the tower. We sat on the first row, the broken window was just in front of us!! The view doesn't last long however, as the elevator suddenly drops in a freefall! Of course we stopped short of crashing to the ground, and eventually winded up safe and sound back at the ground floor. I was scared but I didn't shout. I actually shouted inside my heart.

We wanted to go for Italian lunch at the highly recommended restaurant called 'Ristorantte di Canaletto' but it was full house. Plus I was starving and cannot wait for any longer, we ended up in one of the western restaurants.

We went back to the hotel in the evening and met up with guh-guh and Bob koh-koh. Guh-guh is going to bring us to shopping tomorrow! yeah, i finally get to see my toys (and, buy) !!
