Odaiba with Mika in 2023

Image
GUNDAM IN FRONT OF DIVER CITY I am definitely all for this view. Like, a morning stroll here would be the best thing that can happen.  They also have this Statue of Liberty thing which in my opinion is very underwhelming. Like, it's not at all impressive of some sort. But it's okay. I mean, the scenic view of the Rainbow Bridge definitely makes up for it.  We had ramen for lunch inside the food court of the mall. We headed to Madame Tussaud's after this and yeah it was very fun, I would say.  yummers To finish it off, we had dinner at the other mall nearby. My memory of Odaiba is very mixed at this point. I definitely feel like it's incomplete without the Ferris Wheel that was used to be a very memorable piece of the city but then again, I guess it is what it is and that I just have to accept things as it is. I remember my lola, when I think of Odaiba. I don't know why. 

Snow at Sanrio Puroland

Image
 Don't be fooled by the title folks. Sanrio Puroland in Tama Center is completely indoors. It just so happened that it snowed outside whilst were inside.  I went with my sister and these are the pictures that we took. As this is our first time in a long time, we got several official photos like this one that was taken during the My Melody ride.  My melody chair.  I don't know if I have a favorite Sanrio character now but back then, I used to like Kitty's sister, Mimmy. JUST BECAUSE. Can I just share that my sister, used to love watching Hello Kitty and we probably have all the Hello Kitty videotapes that there is, right? And when we would go to Sanrio Puroland, you would probably think that it is paradise for her, right? NO! As a child, she would scream her lungs out crying.   Sanrio Puroland is just as I remember it to be. The thing is, I know we missed a couple shows so there's always something to go back for. When we went way back, they had a Gudetama section...

Red Kimono at Asakusa

  Magsawa kayo sa mukha ko guys. Charot. It is my ultimate goal to wear all the colours of Kimono. If you ever go to Asakusa as a tourist, please make time to wear kimono. There are many great spots to take pictures! 

Yomiuri Land 12/24/2021

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  DECEMBER 24 2021 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

Image
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...
