Day 7 (21st July 2011) - Akihabara, Ameyayoko

Woke up slightly later to meet shoko and ben at Gundam Cafe, located just near one of the exits of Akihabara.

Even though I'm not a fan of Gundam (except for the unicorn), the cafe was still interesting to look at. The food was so-so, but kinda expected for a themed cafe.

and our food

Since we had already finished eating by the time the pair arrived, we went over to maid cafe for dessert instead. I was quite sick of @home cafe's lame dishes so it was good we chanced upon Mai Dreaming, another chain maid cafe. Though the girls were nowhere as cute, the food was WAY much better than @home with a greater selection. The dessert I ordered was a much better parfait too, and the main courses had a larger variety, an looked tastier.

We then took a little walk around Akihabara. I was looking for my Squall figurine and chanced upon Odin Sphere. Nice! Wanted to get some Saint Seiya ones as well but can't seem to find and the rest were already getting bored after a few shops since the things looked pretty much repeated. Akihabara is as usual stuffed full of over-exaggerated porn that never fails to make me sick.

well at least there's some nice statues for us to pose with

We took a train down Ueno as we got sick of Akihabara, and walked Ameyayoko. At the very start was a shop that sold chocolates for 1000 yen. The special thing was they really put LOTS of stuff inside! There were 3 large kit kats, Ritter sports, a whole chain of crackers, several boxes of biscuits, some Werther lookalikes and I can't remember, so me and Shoko bought and split the loot 8D way more than enough for 4 person!

The rest of Ameyayoko was not much interesting. I took Purikura with Shoko (",) and the machine was one that enlarged your eyes. It also developed stickers for both of us, nice! And only 400yen.o.O love the Purikura machines here.<3

We had dinner at an Izakaya that had a 50% off food offer and ate lots there for only about 1000 yen each. The place is Nijyuumaru and the food is so-so, but at least we managed to have a decent meal WITH shabu shabu. Awesome.

Shoko had to leave for baito after that so i was stuck with the guys (;´Д`A i actually thought it will be hell for me since these two are seriously replica of each other but now I'm so glad they met because they can start to irritate each other instead!!

It was actually quite fun to watch them insult each other, and the ultimately impossible and hard to believe retorts. it is one thing to be cute and irritating, it is another to be ugly and irritating. I'm positively sure I was overjoyed when ben commented Mr She looked like a 30 yr old father even though he was 2 years younger than me. Now take that you fool!!! Nanee Nanee poo poo!! Don't worry, I don't think this paragraph will even affect two ounce of his cyber universal giganto egoistical brain.

Since ben wanted to play the arcade, I had no choice but too follow (too late to go anywhere else too). Ben managed to trash She in everything, GOOD ONE :D HA HA HA!!

Photobucket

interesting drinks!

Photobucket

We then took a detour to find a coffee shop that Ben had his eye on earlier but ended up at Mister Donut since the other one was way too expensive. Talked till the shop closed at 11, before we went off. Seems like Ben found a new friend to irritate, I wish whenever She is around, ben will be around too now!! Hopefully Hoeman wil join them ad the eldest musketeers since these 3 Guys are seriously too damn similar (except for looks).

19th oct
cooked bubble tea at home with the bubbles stella's friend brought over from taiwan. xo
Photobucket
it wasn't so bad, but it loses the tanginess (or elasticity?) if you leave it overnight. i still managed to finish everything though. it tastes great with hot milo ;p

20th oct
went to rikkyo again to print my resume/cover letter/etc to send it off (although i seriously know i won't get any reply) and met mingeong. hung out at the com lab for a while and went over to the 1st shokudo (or the harry potter canteen) to meet machida-san, one of the rikkyo ladies who frequently gave us conversational lessons when i was still studying in rikkyo. since stella's baito suddenly cancelled on her, she was feeling pretty agitated so we went to this nearby restaurant to eat dinner.
Photobucket
she was worrying that they might eventually sack her because she got called off today's work but i tried to reassure her it won't happen and if it does there's always IKEA ;p
she felt happier after the meal though

21st oct
went for dinner with daeyoung since he needed some translation help for japanese/english/mandarin. it was for his greeter position at IKEA. why is everyone working so hard for their baito? (stella's memorizing her menu everynight and now's daeyoung) in turn, we ate at yayoi-kan and i got a free dinner for being his tutor. there's free flow of rice (so i ate 2 bowls... wow) and the restaurant is just next to sunkus near rikkyo.
Photobucket
daeyoung had a a cheese burger set. he ate like 3 bowls of rice and almost couldn't finish his main dish hahahah

22nd oct
met up with joanne for a while when stella and i were lazing around ikebukuro and took some purikura. this machine is supposed to make your eyes look bigger and you can decorate the prints with mini-shots that you have previously taken.

when joanne left for her class/report/etc and stella for her baito, i met daeyoung and we continued our translation in this cafe at ikebukuro which i can't remember the name and ate an italian hotdog (prata dog, anyone?) and an apple mango royal milk tea.

Photobucket
since we had nothing better to do, we decided to go for karaoke till 5am! xo it was pretty fun and daeyoung almost died singing all the 'powderful' songs. and he had lessons from 10am to 9pm the next day. hoho. poor thing.

went to eat sukiyaki for lunch as me, stella, clarence and mk met up. it's a buffet and each person pays about 1700yen.
like steamboat, sukiyaki is just throwing meat into soy sauce. hahah. there is only beef and pork
Photobucket
for the vege there is bee hoon, enoki, cabbage, tofu, some vege that looks like xiang cai, carrot, etc
Photobucket
and after you throw the meat and vege in it should look something like this.
Photobucket
there's also an egg for you to crack and dip in raw. we ordered lots of eggs and brought like 2 home as omiyage lol.
Photobucket
after lunch/dinner, junho came and we went starbucks for his dinner but he left soon enough as he wanted to chat with his girlfriend (-_-`) so it was just the 4 of us again with the purikuras :D
