Konnichiwa!

It took so long for me to post this one. Went to Tokyo last March 31 to April 5 (Holy Week). As they always say, we saved the best for the LAST. Sadly, this will be the last trip we had altogether.

Japan is really uh-mazing for me in most aspects. You know with all that technological advancements at the same time they preserve their cultural heritage very well. 

With Technology, all I can say is wow! I want to take home their toilets! Hahaha! 

The Japanese, they're surprisingly nice people. I didn't expect. They are not snob and they are helpful - in many times we got lost in Tokyo, we just asked and they will try to help in explaining the directions in spite of they are not well versed in English. They are disciplined - always observe the traffic signals even during emergency situations. Shinjuku alone. I mean, I've witnessed it when I was roaming alone around Shinjuku when the ambulance had to pass quickly of course but then it's still a red light, the driver didn't honk his horn and the aid just said Sumimasen (Excuse Me) or Gomenasai (Sorry). I was stunned to see that, I mean by all means you should passed quickly so you can save life! It's understandable right but still they're like that. I'm so amazed, really. They are courteous too. In Japan, I think they're clean freak too. Hahaha! (That's how my sibs called me when we were younger.) As far as I can remember, I didn't see any litter around the city,  in public restrooms.

Food, oh well. I love Japanese food but I do not eat raw. So no sushi, sashimi or whatever it is. Maybe next time I'll try. :) Whatever I saw in Anthony Bourdain's shows before it's true that Japanese prepared their food with artistry even in just a simple Bento box. It's aesthetically pleasing. The cakes in their supermarkets, their chocolates etc.. In this trip, I really enjoy my love affair with Yoshinoya! It's beside our hotel kaya you know distance means a lot in any love affair. I mean I know, el cheapo that was but it's sooo good. A rice bowl either pork or beef never tasted that good to me, it's only during that time. The food price was just right and besides it's quality food. Around the time that we went the Yen was weaker at that time so it's a good time for tourists like us. 

Same old, we travelled during early spring. The weather was pretty fine, not too cold neither hot. 

The tour was arranged by travel agencies. Yes, we've got two travel agencies. The one arranged our visa applications and Mt. Fuji Tour and the other one the city tour. We booked on our own for the flights and hotel accommodation. 

Let's go to our itineraries for this trip.

Day 1 - Tokyo Disneyland for our group and Tokyo Disneysea for the other half

My solo pix were great! Ma'am Mydee took it! :)

At 29, I'm still excited with Disney Parks :)

I was adopted for a day by the Menez family :)

Rain or shine...The show must go on for Mickey & Minnie and friends :)

Where to next? :)

Our favorite ride :)

Yey! We've got our headbands too!

Wanna go for a spin? :)

I was a huge fan of Yakisoba in Japs when I was there. Conveniently located elsewhere and a value for money. Their convenient stores are superb :) I bought these in there while I was alone strolling.

Best French Toast tasted. Ever.

Soba noodles check!

So Kawaii!
