Third entry.
Tuesday 22nd Sept! Still Silver Week here in Japan.
Went to Asakusa and Ueno.
Religious place and it was super crowded with locals and tourists. Did all the water, incense burning and praying rituals. Witnessed another Shinto wedding. Got a lucky lot! GOOD FORTUNE OKAY :D
Ate some awesome sushi and awesome ramen for lunch and dinner respectively. Flavours bursting in your mouth and the sensation...okay fine you don't see fireworks in your eyes.
I got a little freaked handling a salesgirl in GAP on my own today hahaha. Quite funny 'cause she was only trying to be helpful and all and almost every local here speaks Japanese to me first, except the guy at the Souvlaki shop who said 'Ni Hao' when Tina turned to look. Anyway, at least I understood her and she must have understood my half-baked Japanese. No communication breakdown. Yay. Japanese salespeople are so nice. Even though you end up saying you'd think about it (buying whatever you were trying on), salespeople know you usually won't and have crabby expressions on their faces. That usually happens in Singapore. Not here. They're like "okay no problem!" :D but then again, maybe they're thinking in their heads: "knn don't buy say don't buy lah!" hahaha okay I think too much.
But that jacket was so tempting ): (lol food). But 16800yen is way too much lo, and it's not like I don't have a winter jacket here already. And KAIKAI (if you read this), I SAW A BAG YOU'D LIKE! I miss my shopping buddy...
I get a good workout every day, walking for goodness knows how long a distance. But I still eat too much to get any weight off lah so what the heck.
What to do tomorrow!
Maybe I should just stay at 'home'. Revise my Japanese. Read something. Upload photographs. Watch videos online. Talk to people.
Okay sounds good.
See ya!
