Greetings from Narita! :'>
it's a clear day here in Narita!
so Fabian, Anusha and I decided to go explore Narita!
well, more of Anusha and I who wanna explore Narita coz it's our first times there!
took the shuttle bus from our hotel and headed to Shinjuku.
went to the drug store coz i wanna get my makeup remover.
well, i end up eye-ing lots of things that i wanna get, but coz we'll be walking around the whole day, i decided not to get first.
don't wanna carry all the barang-barang with me the whole day.
walking past Shinjuku Station.
how come their train station look so nice. lol.
followed the map and took a walk to Don Quijote coz Minami told me that place has everything!
it's like their Mustafa in Japan!
well well, so we searched for that.
the road that Tokyo Drift drifted?
and we were lost aft crossing the road.
had to take a second look on the map.
lol, spot us.
buildings in Japan.
oh oh oh!
kept walking on and oh, we found it!
tadah!
tax free, even better! :'>
yes, as soon as i got in, i needed a basket alr. lol.
and i fell in love with this luggage at first sight!
so preeeeetz!
but sadly, i think it's a little exp... abt 100+ sgd.
so, i gave it up :(
aft shopping at Don Quijote, we walked back to Shinjuku Station and took the train to our next destination.
first and foremost, got our standard ticket.
not on purpose, but our number is starring right at my face when i only wanted to snap a pic of the train map and ticketing machines!
tell me how not to miss my boyfriend! :/
got my ticket! :'>
while waiting for the train!
q to get in.
and there we were, at Harajuku.
our fresh faces early in the morning :'>
and because we managed to tap onto wifi on the platform itself, we stayed on for awhile. lol.
and while Fabian was busy using the wifi, girls do what they do best --- selfie time ^,^
tapping out.
hello Harajuku!
spotted the puppy, too cute!
the street opp looks happening.
so we decided to start from there :'>
Takeshita Street.
let's go!
just look at the crowd!
hungry us were looking at food and this look so so goooooood!
ahhhh, but it's BUFFET!
they're so nice coz I'm on a diet so they decided to give it a miss and source for something else :'>
spotted this random hideout, looked at the menu and decided to just head in!
udon for brunch!
being singaporeans, i choped the seats while they did the ordering.
our brunch!
dig in!
this is my salad.
my udon salad.
lol, totally didn't expect my salad to come with udon until it was presented to me. lol.
Anusha :'>
along the Takeshita Street.
we walked and walked and spotted Harajuku Street!
yay, we found it!
we're ready to explore Harajuku Street!
along the streets of Harajuku.
with more vending machines everywhere and graffiti.
and live dolls like these walking around :O
then we also spotted some vintage looking building which is pic worthy.
and another where the ground level sells clothes but the 2nd level is a hair salon!
well, and we also spotted weird looking ones.
cosplay of a guy in girl's costume.
and he walks really funnily.
felt so uncomfortable for him!
along the street, there's also this shop 'Bookmarc' that caught our attention.
oh my, it's actually a bookstore by Marc Jacobs!
and apparently, the staff at the store said they're the only store around!
so better get what you want if you see something you like here coz you won't be able to find another outlet elsewhere!
#words.
preeeetz.
walking out of the street, onward to Shibuya!
oh wait!
but we spotted this family!
they're so kawaii!
totally caught my attention!
dressing up their dogs for christmas!
credits to Fabian for capturing the image!
headed in to a really huge Apple store coz one of them wanted to get iphone6, but apparently, they're all sold out. zomg, why so fast.
luckily i'm not an iphone fan. lol.
coincidentally, we bumped into the family again!
this time, there was a crowd surrounding them!
getting a clearer image of the dogs!
hello santa dog!
i think this pic is so cute, with the little boy posing by the dog. hehe.
touristy shot :'>
with Anusha :'>
and along the streets in Japan, you'll always bound to find some of the locals in their traditional costumes, which i find to be so interesting!
like it's so common to wear that and walk around on the streets!
then we heard a vroooom-vroooom sound and turned our heads, but zomg, what a pretty car!
i didn't manage to capture it coz it went too fast.
glad for Fabian to capture it with his iphone.
now, i feel like getting an iphone. lol.
then we spotted this Frozen theme shop.
zomg, everything Frozen, but it's actually a branded shop that sells Frozen products and all.
aft much distraction along the way, we finally reached Shibuya!
the place where singers are in, we suppose?
no idea why but we always spot these trucks driving around with the huge mannequin on them.
another must-go shop when in Japan!
this looked so goooooood!
freshly baked!
decided to get one for the family to try!
another big truck that kept driving around.
it's like doing advertising on the go!
no idea why, but Frozen is quite a popular thing in Japan now.
everything's so Frozen themed!
christmas deco at Shibuya!
the been-there shot, but sadly cant see the Shibuya words at the top of the building!
spotted another, but the lighting was still bad :/
well well, and that was one day of walking, shopping and exploring Narita!
settled for dinner at Ichiran coz Fabian didn't get to eat Ichiran ytd.
same thing, q to go in.
make your order via the vending machine.
wait for available seats.
there we go!
small, confined space.
another hot bowl of awesomeness in this cold weather.
and finally, we decided to head back.
tired faces at the end of the day...
went back to our individual rooms to deposit our stuff and rest for a short while before meeting again to head to the supermarket.
lol, ended up getting some drinks for the night.
1 sake and 1 choya.
this time, in Anusha's room :D :D
sadly, i was so so tired.
i drank halfway and fell asleep in Anusha's room before we even get to open the choya.
thanks for taking care of me when i fell asleep in your room, Anusha! :'>
