Sorry I missed one day. Too tired to write.
Okay, so yesterdays adventures, Me and Deanna got brought around Tokyo by Linah and her friend Xuan.
*Funny story: Linah called me Tuesday night to ask me where I was staying at and what we were going to do Wednesday. I told her I'm staying in Nihonbashi. She tells me she's about 2 stops away.. here's the convo (note: not exact words)
Me: Yeah, we're in Nihonbashi
Linah: Oh.. That's only 2 stops away.
Me: Oh no, i mean Shin-Nihonbashi.
Linah: OMG, what hotel?
Me: ... Hotel Kazusaya
Linah: WHAT ROOM?
Me: 307...
Linah: SHUT UP!! hold on..
*knocks on door*
Turns out she was next door to our room in 308 HAHA.
What a coincidence! So we freaked out for a good 20 minutes and realized our rooms were switched. We originally had the studio room, but ended up getting the bigger room instead (as i mentioned). I told Linah what we ordered and it turns out our rooms probably got switched because we're foreigners.
Anyways, Tuesday night we freaked out and turns out we have different things in our room than they do. They had the internet plan haha. So now we have internet here! =O
On to Wednesday. At 10 AM decided to head over to Odaiba. took the water boat there and transferred twice. The water boat view was CRAZY beautiful. The view of all the buildings and bridges was super nice. When we were going around the Odaiba island, we saw the HUGE Gundam model just chillen on the side. Super Huge!
There's also a statue of liberty there. WTF?! A STATUE OF LIBERTY? Turns out the Odaiba attractions are called the "United States of Odaiba" HAHA!
Went to "Joyopolis" shopping center. HELLA people over there! Hard to walk around. Checked out their ABC mart, but couldn't find new kicks. Saw clothes, but didn't bother, looked like stuff out of wet seal and stuff. After the shopping center we went straight for the "VS Arashi" stand. I didn't think I'd freak out, but when we got in and I saw the pictures my eyes went O__O and I fell in love again. It's unfortunate you can't take pictures (duh.. Johnnys..). I saw you could use a stamp to stamp a booklet of yours, but I didnt have one. I shoulda stamped this notebook.
After "VS Arashi" got a "passport" to go inside Fuji Terebi Studios. Waited maybe 20 minutes in line to go up to the 25th floor. Crazy line for the elevators. The elevator led us straight to the dome on the top of FujiTV's building. There's some art up there and some merchandise. At the exit, we went down some stairs to tour a bit more. Saw ads for some of the recent and past dramas. Took a picture of the ad for Toma's drama (can't remember the name) and 2 of "Atashinchi no Danshi" and a TOKIO Variety I think. When we got out decided to head to Harajuku for Kiddyland. Ended up getting lost somewhere. I'm guessign it's Hamamatsucho Station, but we ended up at Shiodome where NTV is. Stopped at the Exclessior coffee shop for a drink. I actually ordered for us in Japanese. I was surprised I remembered my counters.
After our drinks, we finally headed to Harajuku. Went to KIDDYLAND and totally freaked out! So much toys and figurines! I wanted to buy everything. Spent a hefty amount on items. A couple souvenirs, a couple for myself, yeah.. major splurge haha.
After Linah showed us where the Johnny's shop is. Along the way, took pictures of Johnny's ads along the roads. At the Johnny's shop, I took pictures of all the signs possible. We chilled for a bit, but because I was taking pictures and talking too loud, the girl came out. Without her telling us, we left Haha.
Went home from there. Linah hadda go home, but we all went back to the hotel on our own. Luckily we didn't get lost.
