6th september
managed to get about 2 hours of sleep before i realised i was late!! it's hoeman's last day in tokyo so i quickly changed and went over asakusa to meet him about 1030am. (where he thought i was going to kuramae and waited at the wrong place instead.) eventually we managed to meet around 11am, where stella and jiayi was already on the way anyway.
but we did get to walk kaminarimon and i encouraged hoeman to get an omikuji, which is some luck charm. hoeman really had very horrible luck. it's the middle bad luck charm. i almost died laughing reading the contents

and for bad luck charms, you have to tie them to this rack so your bad luck goes away

then we met up with the taiwanese and headed to a kaiten sushi for brunch. hoeman ate all that he wanted - sea urchin, fat tuna

i had some horse sashimi (it says horse, but maybe it's really fish?)

then we went to where hoeman stayed at - j-hoppers hostel and slacked there for a while, before we sent him to the station.


around 1pm, it was goodbye tokyo and welcome america for hoeman.
i spent the rest of my day walking around asakusabashi (for zephyr and some craft beads), then at akihabara with stella and jiayi (since it was all within walkable distance) before i headed home around 6-7pm since i was getting a headache from lack of sleep.

13th may was supposed to be a rainy with typhoon, but neither happened, so i went asakusabashi with frank to search for zephyr. it was super duper cold though, about 14degrees. all pictures courtesy of frank, since i didn't think it was necessary to bring my camera (boy was i wrong).


this place actually sells A LOT of beads.


and here we are at zephyr!

spent like 8200++ yen on 2 wigs and its conditioner. but i was still very happy!!! you can't get looooooong wigs for 3800yen in singapore!

then we tried to walk to asakusa.
passed by an obscene looking statue, with a hentai looking at her obscenely.

ate some anman (fried bun?).

dropped some crusts, which was picked up by the local friendly pigeons :D

at the end of the day, we boarded a bus back to ikebukuro.

and so suay! my psp ran outta batt and we got stuck in a jam cos of some accident. and managed to watch d'gray man from frank's phone! it's a fight between crowley and some akuma/noah i've never seen before.

anyway, the accident was apparently this shopfront which has its entire front blasted. it was pretty shocking. but what was even more amazing is the bus driver. he apologized to every single customer and kept repeating about the delay all the way to ikebukuro. the trip took us about 1.5-2horus long!!! *bows in respect*
