Japan Trip 210309-270309 (i)

i didn't think that a packaged tour will be too memorable ...
but this trip proved me wrong ...

Day 1
started at 930 PM ...
our flight was was at 1125 ...
i rem the tv at the boarding gate playing harry potter ...
but we were busy spying on the cool looking hand carry that the japanese brought along ...
seat 43A was a window seat!
depatures lulled me to sleep ...
(not that it was a boring movie ... its just my bedtime)
& thats all for day one ...
(lol)

Day 2
we woke up to breakfast at SG 5am -_-

i was expecting some delicious japanese spread ...
food looked ok ...
but taste wise ... ... ... ...

narita airport is actually quite empty at 705 JP time ...
we met xiao li our tour guide!
and made our way to our first stop ...
Asakusa Kannon Temple ...

always thought that big red latterns are very symbolic of japan ...

we were given ALOT of time at asakusa ...
(must have walked up and down Nakamise numerous times)
ms kuah & i decided to change our JPY10000 into smaller notes at mister donut ...

think there was some kind of promotion ...
donuts @ JPY100 (approx SGD1.60)
cant really rem how it tastes like now ...
but i rem the chocolate coated one had cake like texture ...

it started to drizzle ...
so we settled lunch at a japanese restaurant ...
once again i was expecting a hot bowl of delicious ramen ...
but ... ... ... ...
our only consolation was the cute looking waiter
(who didn't serve us btw -_-)
that was JPY900 (approx SGD14.30) ... not worth it ...

---

next stop odaiba ...

was intially quite excited abt shopping ...
but true to what others have told me ...
it would be better to save the money to shop in SG ...

enjoyed ourselves the most here ...
wish i owned one ... so cute ...

finally it was time to fly to osaka ...
(finally because there was nth much to do at odaiba ....
+ it was raining & we were freezing)

they should have brought forward our flight to osaka ...
rather than let the japanese see foreign zombies walking ard ...
dinner for day 2 was beef patty + mash potato bun!
JPY180 (approx SGD2.90)
wouldnt say its worth the price but i loved it!
we werent trying to budget actually ...
we blur-ly thought that we had to gather for boarding an hr earlier
-_-

& thats all for day two ...
