Hey boys and girls long time no talk! Hehe ^^;; I’ve been very go go go the past couple weeks and so I haven’t had a huge amount of time to just sit down and write.
So when was my last update? *checks*
20 days ago?! Yikes. Well um. HUH. Time just flies by hey?
Well I will start with that after that really fun weekend of activities Megan and her friends were finishing their Asian tour with Japan! So I got to see her which was awesome. Megan and I don’t normally get to hang out or talk very often so her coming here was great. 🙂
I took them around Yokohama for the day. So we got lost (I hate walking sometimes =_=) on the way to Minato Mirai but I think that worked out because they were taking pictures of the building and what not.
So we finally were in the sites of Minato Mirai and thus our day of adventuring truly began! They wanted to go to Cup Noodle Museum (luckily I hadn’t gone yet! hehe) so we went in there for a while and made our own instant noodles. I have not nor will eat mine though. Bleh ramen. Then we made our way down to the oceanfront and got to look at the boats going by.
After that I took them back to the amusement park but we went into the arcade first. I showed them the photo booth. They loved it! So we did that for a while then we finally got to go on the Ferris Wheel at night. And the view! :O It’s gorgeous.
The next day (after they slept in for a bit), I decided to go to Tokyo and we met in Akihabara. THERE WAS A GAME EVENT GOING ON AND IT WAS SO COOL!! D: I wanted to stay so bad to watch the whole thing. ;0;
After that, we headed off to Harajuku for the 100 yen store. (That seems to be very popular out here :O ) We all did some shopping and then I had to leave them. I had an early day to the airport for Okinawa. ^O^
It was busy weekend but that was just the beginning!
Okinawa. Okinawa.
HOLY HUMIDITY BATMAN. I’m sorry my Canadian friends, I know the weather has been warmer than usual at home BUT OH MY GOD JAPAN’S HUMIDITY. IT’S AWFUL. Like picture your hot. Then add WAY MORE. SO HOT. SO HOT.
So first day was basically walking trying to find places. We found our hotel after a little bit of wandering and then we found a taxi to take us to the main shopping street and to a good place for dinner! Mhhhmmmmm Okinawa Soba. Yummmmmyyy. We also had Sashimi and octopus salad and something else. Everything was good don’t worry! AND I FOUND THE POKEMON CENTER HEHE.
SO NEXT DAY! Bus day!
We went on a bus tour for the day! It took us to the Aquarium (which was the world’s largest until 2005). So many cool things to see! They even have a beach there. That was my favorite part. After that we headed off to the Pineapple place. They have a commercial with a super catchy song and that’s all the girls sang during our stay haha. So we were there eating and drinking everything pineapple flavoured. And I actually didn’t mind it, surprisingly enough. After that it was off to glass blowing. Which just turned out to be a shopping place. So once again, we headed back to the popular street to find supper. Which was a 9$ steak! Not too bad. Not really like home though. And then for the rest of the night we did some more walking and got dessert (crepes!). Then back to the hotel.
Day 3!
We hired a taxi driver for the day which was such a good idea! We went to Okinawa World which had all the older traditional stuff of Okinawa. So we looked around, got Kimono photos. And I did a fish foot bath sort of thing with Kwan. IT FELT WEIRD. But my feet feel so much better after it hehe.
After Okinawa World IT WAS BEACH TIME! It was glorious and short. But the water was so warm and I spent Canada Day on a beach instead of working this year. Hehe. Weird but nice!
So we flew home the next day and kinda had a chill day.
Saturday though it was Peach Picking time! We got to pick 2 peaches and then it was an all you can eat after that (within 40 minutes!) This is when my cold really kicked in so I couldn’t eat much. :< This cold has been awful and I really wish it would go away. . .
Meh I might try and type up part 2 of what’s been going on later. I am still pretty sick and all I want to do is be lazy.
IT’S TOO HOT. WAY TOO HOT.
PS. IF ANYONE WANTS TO POST “BUT ITS HOT HERE YOU HAVE NO IDEA” I will clock you. I know it’s hot at home right now, I see all your statuses and Snapchats. HOWEVER. My skin is actually peels from humidity here. NOT SUNBURN. Humidity. So it’s REALLY HOT for my poor Canadian soul. Also turning my AC on will make my power bill crazy expensive so I can’t have that on.
Ahem. That is all.
HAVE A GOOD DAY/NIGHT/WHATEVER folks! Till the next update!
