Yomiuri Land 12/24/2021

Yomiuri Land Illumination April 03, 2024 0

My sister and I went a day before Christmas which is one of the worst days to go probably because Japanese don’t usually celebrate the Christmas season with family. It’s more with friends so they tend to flock amusement parks and such.

I think this trip was my first time riding this thing. I have been to Yomiuri land maybe 3 times? And yeah this ride was interesting. We didn’t get wet but I have seen others who were not so lucky.

They had turkey leg which

This Kare rice is so cheap! I also ordered a mocktail which is not bad! If I remember correctly, this Kare rice is under 1000 yen which is rare given that it is inside an amusement park.

That's all guys! I really had fun celebrating Christmas Eve with my sister!

Corona Virus and China Town

Diamond Princess

Minato Mirai

This day we spent with dad’s friends and they took us to China Town. But before that, they showed us the Diamond Princess. The cruise ship that carried a lot of COVID-19 positive individuals. It’s quite a sight. Also very irresponsible of us but yeah we were nowhere near of course but I can’t say the same for the people around us.

We also took some pictures along the way. It was awesome. Can I just say that I took some photos from my dad’s CASIO EX-ZR70WE.

It was okay so maybe I should get something small of a camera to carry everywhere and just leave my DSLR for like huge photoshoot or whatever which I rarely do TBH. But yeah still nice to have them both too so maybe I’d get something small.

So I didn't know how to properly eat this yeah? I ate 1 of the wrapper on its own because I didn't know that it's for that 2 peking duck skin so no wonder it doesn't taste like anything lol.

After the long walk, we went to Chinatown to chow at this All you can eat Chinese Restaurant. It was lovely. Although they really take a while to deliver orders. I remember an article that says the longer you chew your food, the better because our brain recognizes we're full at a certain amount of time so yeah or something like that. Maybe that's a technique they use.

Mamita and I

Is this a rat? I'm not even sure. Not treating us very well though, yeah? With all of what's going on right now.

It was a lovely day though! Took a couple more photos before heading home and voila! That’s all!

Old Friends

Kid at heart

Dad’s friend dropped us near here and because we were kind of early still, we went to the nearest 7/11 first, then Lawson, and kind of passed by this playground. I mean, nothing much. Just stopped by to take Insta photos.

I can’t explain how thankful I am of this fam. So it’s just right to pay them a visit, right? Also, my boy Tora is just so big now! I’m surprised he still remembers me. I mean, like he still remembers our closeness and stuff. He wasn’t a bit shy when he saw me.

I don’t really have much to say. It’s been more than a year since I saw them and stuff. Loads of catching up happened and yeah, this is my family away from family when I was in Japan. Forever grateful!

Sagamiono Station

We took some photos at the station and normally, I wouldn’t but yeah I don’t really know when I’ll be back again so I took some with the mother dear. That’s about how our day went. A day well spent if you ask me. Adios!

Flowers and China

Yokohama October 23, 2018 0

So...we went here because we kind of failed at another thing but thankful for the failure anyways. So here's what happened. Earlier that morning, we were supposed to go to Fuji Q Highlands. But we failed. We waited at this highway bus station but we didn’t know we needed to have a reservation so we waited for nothing basically. Around 5 buses passed by and rejected us so then we then realized it’s time to give up. There’s that!

I like! I used to always go here before. But you know that already, yeah? I will miss this place when I leave. Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I’m saying goodbye already. I will come back here one more time before I leave. Or two!

Yas

Yamashita Park

We went during the rose festival. Always gorgeous!

SISTERS

Selfie!

Only my second time during the season but yeah it’s as magical as the first time I went. Something my mom would enjoy more than us. But you know, killing two birds in one stone. Actually three!

rose garden

pink

We actually went later that day coz I remember we even slept a little bit before going. Always nice.

Have you been?

My favorite spot!

I mean, right? My sister’s nth time here too! Not with all the roses though. I remember watching over their little asses run! Parents always bring them here because there’s a nearby place that looks like an open space. Also! We feed the pigeons. Illegally of course.

I told you guys that I have been here before, yeah? It looks a lot different than the first time! I’ll link that post before here so, click here if you want to take a look.
