Day 3 Part 2:
I'll continue from after the Nissin Museum trip... we were supposed to go to some weird ass street but then IT WAS RAINING and we didn't wanna risk it cause like my grandma's old and so we decided to camp into the McDonalds... Thing about Japan is that Qoo is available everywhere and best part is even the fucking fries there tastes cleaner than Singapore's...
I mean I know you can't see lah but like it's... Qoo... White Grape...
Ate it on the very night HAHAHAH it's so NICE ok compared to normal cup noodles?? And it's NOT because I made it myself ok also NOT because I chose my own ingredients but maybe it's just the MSG working it's magic...
Potluck at night...
Loots from Nissin and the lake near Mt Fuji featuring my turtle Theo :3
OKAY SO early in the morning we headed to Asakusa Temple, the OLDEST temple in Tokyo. You can read more about this place here http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3001.html it's quite interesting. There were performers around the area we alighted and we went STRAIGHT to the temple, we didn't walk THROUGH the Thunder Gate then through the shops. We did the opposite HAHA.
ICE CREAM YUMSIES BLACK SESAME AND MATCHA
Ok then we left the temple after buying LOTS of souvenirs at the street shops (I got Pres and Gen beer keychains SO KAWAII ok) and then like we left to eat Tempura (AGAIN WTF) at some 100+ over year old shop idk... Here's some pix of the shops and stuff that I saw...
Got caught by this guy when I took this pix lol I wasn't even supposed to take it but I risked it anyways then he CAUGHT ME ok fuck my mom and I just ran away HAAHHA
Yeah then LUNCH!
Sigh I miss my blue hair.... anyways then we went on next to the Imperial Garden or whatever... the terrible thing is that it's WINTER now so I go garden see simi lanjiao? So I gotta give credit to the tour guide lah, she managed to entertain us LOL she said that the Emperor is one ugly guy ok, but then when he was younger in line for the throne, he told his dad that he wanted this pretty girl and that he would be willing to forsake his position just to marry her LOL.
Ok that aside, the Emperor is ofc only a figurehead. Anyways, then he married the girl and like his sons and daughter v ugly even though the wife damn chiobu. And then the first son married a wife and the woman had a daughter but then is now in depression cause she can't give birth to a son or something. Second son's wife had a daughter at first too then NOW SHE HAD A SON LOL and the daughter married out of the royal family, which is smart of her apparently. So like if yr in the royal palace, you can't do shit except stay inside.
Basically you're a puppet for the Japanese Diet. Also if you took History, you would know that the Japanese had a bad Diet. (LAUGHS SO HARD) and then I saw this sign saying > Japan Diet, This Way
And I just chuckled for a good 5 minutes on the bus with my mother asking me if I was nuts. No I was not. We hit the park and all I saw were ducks and sick trees and BROWN GRASS and autumn trees.
The family...
Ok so there was this girl who sits in front of me and my mother and she literally takes a fucking selfie every five fucking minutes ok you scared your face will change isit? Best part is that she takes the selfie with a fucking selfie stick like HELLO YOU TAKE SELFIE ON THE BUS YOU JUST USE YOUR HAND LAH WHY MUST YOU USE THE STICK... ARE YOU T-REX? Ok some people are like "LET HER DO WHAT SHE WANTS" ok LOR I let her LOR.
Then right, this photo below looks ridiculous, I know. But let me explain to you why I took it.
Then my mother said to me, "Eh, you cannot lose out to her!! Take also!!" LOL KIASU AT ITS BEST SMLJ but then I just played along HAHHAHA LAV IT. Ok but here's a DSLR quality of the TREE BARK. I must admit it does look pretty nice.
Then they drove us off to the Ginza district. It was a Sunday so they like closed off the road for pedestrians WHICH WAS SO COOL OK. We then went off for free & easy.
This was a tranny btw... that or a cross dresser but like he looks like a tranny...
12 floor Yamaha building. Damn cool reh. Inside damn hot though zz wtf.
OMFG A&F BUT I DIDN'T GET TO GO IN CAUSE MY FUCKING RELATIVES WANT TO GO SEE FUCKING DEPARTMENTAL STORE...............................................................
Long story short we went like some departmental store then we went Daimaru and then we went to this fucking awesome Ramen store... Ichiran Ramen at Ueno Station. I highly recommend this, and it's not that expensive either! Check out their English website for different locations: http://www.ichiran.co.jp/english/
This branch at least, is 24 hours and never closes year-round. It's like you can choose your own flavour and add ons VIA VENDING MACHINE OK
These are my add ons and I added on only spring onions...
This is the seating thingy you can click on it to see they have like 3 seating sections and the green lights show taken seats or whatever idk... can't really recall anymore?
This is my order chit and I get to choose like the kind of ramen I want, super tangy or chewy or soft or my soup spicy or not and etc etc
Iced water and places for us to hang our coats behind :D
It's 3am on a sunday night, and I'm blogging about this and like... The ramen looks so fucking good... I want Ajisen tomorrow... which of course is a pale imitation but like you know. Ha ha, ramen.
Day 5:
So early in the morning I got woken up to go and eat Sashimi. For one, I hate raw food. For another, I can't appreciate raw fish. But then I'm in Japan right? So I figured I might as well try... can't believe I queued for a god damn hour ok but they say it's pretty famous so ok lor...
This street is the place where you get all of those Kit Kat goodies for fucking cheap HAHA I bought like 3 packs for 1000 yen or something (I legit cannot recall where this district is ALL I know is that it starts with an O HAHAH fucking Japan man or maybe it doesn't even start with an O for all I know)

It's called Daiwa Zushi I think. Maybe you can go check up on that.
Brrh, still not a fan of raw fish. :(
Super swag cutting. Also very bloody.

Basically spent my last day shopping at Shinjuku. At fucking Takashimaya. Can you believe it? What a fucking waste of good time. Hate going overseas with my relatives because I'm always the only teenager and I can't opt out either?? Now that I'm turning 18 this year fuck them man, I'm never going overseas with them willingly again. Hongkong trip last last year was also quite a disaster lol.
Ok then 6th day was returning home, nothing much there. Returned home to an empty country (I was only happy to see my dad and laptop) b/c baby was overseas :'( throughout the 3 years of our relationship we've never managed to celebrate his birthday (sighs sadly).
Hope I didn't disappoint you much for this post & I figured there wasn't much to blog about Countdown because a douche pretty much ruined my experience + countdown is countdown lo. Pics on Instagram anyways.
Haha kay bye thanks for tuning in!!
