My last few days in Tokyo

Hello all to the readers who sacrifice their important time reading this blog that is actually 3 months behind.

I am going to be going on a trip with my semi and going to try to make out the most out of the limited time I have here in Japan.

Meaning I won't update this blog for a while.

I am going to go back to Canada in two weeks!
I'll see you guys then.

Second Perfume Concert JPN !!!!!!!!!!!!!


I was at BUDOUKAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!! for Perfume's concert in May.
Well not the performance called budoukaaaaaan but at the actual place.
Maybe few days before the performance my friends offered me their tickets to me.
It's the same tour as the concert I went before but I had to go.


This is the concert hall called budoukan. It is every artists dream in Japan to perform here. 


What was so good about this concert is that I got tickets to go watch at the front (arena).
The three girls were so close to me that I can see their facial expression and dance moves very clearly. And the people around me were pretty crazy as well where some of them remembered all the moves.

I've been to many concerts but perfume's concert performance is one of the best. 
The stage art and the transition is very well done.
I love the laser beams and lighting and the yasutaka instrumental music show as well.

----------

After the concert we moved to a restaurant to talk about how amazing the concert was.




Eating good food and talking about the performance is probably one of the best part of going to a concert.

A little fancy way to spend a day in Ginza.

I had a nice afternoon tea and lunch with my friend and my friends mom in the Ginza/Yuurakuchou area.

We first met up at the Imperial Hotel.

Some people were having a wedding.

We went inside a Japanese restaurant within the hotel.

I ordered..

Eel! I love grilled eel on rice. This is called an "Una-Ju" in Japanese.

Look what I found in the restroom! A board for people who want to change in the stalls. Useless? I think so.

We then walked around the area.


----------

We then decided to visit the Johannes Vermeer exhibition.
This is the ipod we were given to walk around and listen to inside the museum.

FOOD FOOD FOOD #4



There is this food/alcohol bar near my school that my friends and I go quite often. 
It's called kani jigoku カニ地獄。
Not only is the food good there but we always get the all you can drink alcohol plan.

This place is cool because you can serve and mix your own alcohol using these dispensers. 
They have japanese wine, beer, wine, liquor, whisky, and all types of juice and tea.

This is the otoushi we got that day.


My mix. Forgot what it was.

This is crab brain. Ew. But tastes really good.

Yokohama Chinatown and Motomachi



May 4, 2012

After having an all nighter at my friends house I met up with my seminar senpai to go walk around the Yokohama Chinatown and Motomachi area.

My friend used to go to school around this area so she knows a lot of the restaurants and nice places.

We decided to go this chinese tea store.
This is a timer.


We ordered two tea sets.



The tea on the left was more sweet. The tea on the right had more of a nice smell.
I don't remember any of the names but it was really nice. 


It also came with some asian desserts.
This was made out of sticky rice.

Chinese festival?

We then directly went for dinner and had some chinese beer.

Yumm yumm shrimp steamed dumpling


Then visited some temples around the area.



You really forget that you are in japan for a second.

Yum yum milk ice shaving with mango.

We then visited the other side of the road which is motomachi.

Cottaging in Shizuoka

There is this thing called golden week on the first week of May.
It sounds weird in english but its a super long week of no work that everyone in Japan look forwards to.
Everyone uses this week to go on trips.

So what my friends and my friends who have already graduated from school decided to do was to go to shizuoka.

I first traveled with few of my friends at yokohama station to go towards the country side.






I reached this country station that doesn't even except my train card.


I met up with a friend from canada who brought me some gummies from Bulk Barn.

We then went on a bus from there to go to the camp ground.
On our way we saw some training ground for the military.


Cools. I've never seen anything like this in japan.

We then reached our campground.

It's not very out in the wilderness like in Canada but good enough.

Haha look at that.

This is our cottage room.




We can see Mountain Fuji right outside of the house.

Our dinner!

The black thing you see is sesame. My friend thought it was black pepper and bought it.. lol

This is how our cottage looks like from outside.



Also had some fried noodles.

And fried rice.

After being full we decide to do some fireworks.


YEEEE.




The fireworks look so pretty.


Some kids joined us.



We then decided to write some words with it.
Attempt: Banana.
FAIL

Attempt: I don't even remember what word.
FAILED.

Attempt: Just as u see.

Attempt: GW2012 
semi success

Do whatever you want.

I used star filter to take these photos.



We then did some campfire.


And talked until early morning.

------

When I woke up this is what I saw. Burning fried rice.
My friends were so smart they used all the burning fuel.






We then went to safari park. This safari park is called "Fuji Safari Park"



We took the walking safari tour.


We first saw bears.


Lazy lazy bears.

Then we went to go feed some lions raw meat.



Nom nom omg lions are so cute.
