10/11-14/2019

CONS PROS
  • there was a typhoon
  • an entire day of plans were cancelled
  • i had to buy an umbrella
  • now i can say i survived a typhoon (and also an earthquake)
  • i tried so many snacks n got to rest all day in a real bed !!
  • my official tokyo survival souvenir

day 1: a bus, a train, a bus, a plane.. 7 hours later.. welcome to Tokyo! walked around Omotesando Station (bougee/artsy shopping area), nezu museum, checked out an art exhibit on the top floor of the LV store, got my phone fixed before apple store closed for the typhoon, dinner in Shibuya (THE intersection from f&f tokyo drift) then over to Ichigaya First Cabin for my furst night in a proper bed in 2 months~

day 2: enjoyed the hostel’s mini onsen n trained back to Shibuya for an entire day of snacks and resting (minus 5 minus of typhoon adventure in the name of snack acquisition) later i thought the bed swayed because T had laughed too hard but apparently that was the earthquake off the coast of Chiba ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

day 3: are we sure there was a typhoon yesterday cuz it’s nice as fuck out !! explore shinjuku after an attempt to visit the metropolitan observatory fails (stayed in the hotel right beside this during orientation training but my sick ass never made it out.. then off to teamlab borderless n the best lights of my fuckin life, quik snack at the furst wendy’s in japan, off to omoide yukocho (piss alley aka quaint lil food street) then on a solo adventure to roppongi hills station for some night views and hyatt hotel exploration

last day: breakfast at mcds ❤ then off to mori art museum to see chiharu shiota’s exhibit and free entrance to their rooftop observatory. saw sum sick art, nice views, copped some artsy souvenirs, speed daiso trip n 400 grocery bento lunch before repacking n rushing my ass back to the airport, landing in osaka, brushing my teeth in the diamond VIP lounge washroom, n securing the last unreserved seat on the bus back to the station n train back home where my frens kindly awaited to whisk me off to a lil thanksgiving pawtay. a wild but solid thanksgiving weekend..

until the next adventure,

A
