Morning everyone ! Christmas holiday week has just over, coming back to KL yesterday night with an unwilling mood. I just done my psychology quiz at my hostel couples of minutes ago ! Yeap, you didn't read wrongly, it's at my HOSTEL. This is the first time doing quiz outside the campus, actually it's even more nervous doing quiz at home than in campus as you don't know that if anything will happen or line not stable. We can even choose the time slot ourselves as there's another time slot available on Friday if you can't make it today. What an open-minded lecturer, Mr.Alex is the best lecturer ever !
Okay, forget about the test now, coming to the year end of 2014, this might be my last post in this year but still not my last post for my Japan trip. Time has been flies faster year by year, 2014 is a colorful year for me especially in my university life, we have gone crazier and crazier as higher semesters. However, I still have lots of things undo yet in this year and had to carry forward continue in the next year, yeap I’m saying about all the assignments and reports. Most probably I’ll be countdown-ing with my assignments just like how I spent my Christmas last week. Such a pity student life. Hope everything can end soon so that I can cope with my coming exam. However, 2014 is not a good year for the world especially our country, air planes tragedy, flood, too many sad incidents happen this year. Well, there’s another heartbreaking news just happened yesterday. One more air plane missing again yesterday, hope all the passengers and crews on board are safe, pray hard for them. Last but not least, I just wish that 2015 will be a better year than 2014 as no more tragedy happen in the world.
# DAY 8 #
After a good rest yesterday, today we are heading to Tokyo Disneyland at Orayasu the purpose we came to Tokyo. Well, actually I’m not so much interested in Disney characters as that is not the family of Hello Kitty belongs to, perhaps I should go to Sanrio Town next time ! We decided to use Japan-Rail travel to our destination which is much more cheaper but requires lots of walking and stations changing. Okay, I’ll take it as exercises which is good for our health ^^ So, this begin our Disneyland one day self trip … Here we go !!!
Morning view from our room window, there’re already many tourists there early morning
Discover more about this town since it’s still early. It’s a cloudy and rainy day throughout the day hence I can’t get any blue sky photo today, too sad. The weather here is not so cold compared to Hokkaido but is still cool and windy anyway.
My dad ‘half-body’ photography skill =.=
Here is the Sumida River in Asakusa, behind me is the landmark Skytree.
It’s popular for tourists to take a boat or water bus along the Sumida River in Asakusa. There’re variety of cruise boats available on this route. But this Suida River Cruise looked like a submarine or space ship more than a cruise seriously. We didn’t take any cruise that day due to time constrain so I can’t tell you more about the experiences.
The red bridge is known as Azuma Bridge, what a cute name !
Looked at this cute mini bus ! I didn’t notice that the bus uncle was actually smiling to my camera that time until I review back the photos … So kawaii !
The mini bus is winked at me ! Hahah !
A muscular man and A rickshaw ; A bicycle and A dog
Choosing some bendol for lunch later
All looked so delicious for me, what to eat ???
And this start our Japan Rail journey to Disneyland ! Feeling so exited !
If without my dad be our tour guide, I guess we’’ll lost here for sure …
No more apple tour, today is ‘orange’ tour ! And this is our tour guide – Lua San ^^
First time travel by Japan Rail, come and take a photo for memories
Station changing 2
Second train is coming
Oops, it’s packed by student and people to working, but we still able to squeeze in
After staircases still staircases … Would I be exhausted already before reaching Disneyland ?
Finally the third train is coming !
Why so noisy ?! LOL !
And we reach here finally !!! The kingdom of dream and magic !!!
Before reaching the main entrance, we first saw this Bon Voyage souvenir store. At Bon Voyage, you'll find the grandest selection of Disney merchandise available under one roof anywhere in Japan. As you know that "Bon voyage!" means "Have a good trip!" in French. Conveniently located next to JR Maihama Station, at the gateway to Tokyo Disney Resort, Bon Voyage welcomes visitors to the Resort as they begin their journey and bids them farewell as they set off on their return. It is the perfect place to enjoy shopping before or after a day of fun and excitement at your favorite Disney Park. However, I didn’t enter this store and buy anything from there at last.
There’re actually 2 themes park in Tokyo Disney Resort, one is Disneyland and another one is Disney Sea where adventure and imagination set sail. Although Disney Sea is smaller compared to Disneyland but is a great place to go too !
Coming to this wonderland of Disney
Tokyo Disneyland Hotel
Just act as a kid for today only !
Our ‘passport’ to Disneyland
The first scene I saw after the entrance
Where should I go first ? Feeling blerrr … If I don’t have this map, most probably I’ll get lost inside because it is really too huge !
This give me a similar feeling as Universal Studio in Singapore I went last time. It’s so crowded everywhere !!! And most of the people visited here are Japanese either families or couples or students compared to foreign tourist honestly. Maybe here is a popular gateway for them to spend their weekend.
Any letter for me ?
Oops, my “natural looks” captured by paparazi …
Full seating at the outdoor dining area
We bring our own bendol that bought just now for lunch instead of eating at the restaurant there
My sushi bendol
My mum’s spicy kimchi chicken bendol
Discover the map of this land again before begin our adventure
Eh, what are they doing there ? picnic ? No, they are actually booking a great place early to watch the Disney character parade show later …
Real or Fake ?! But they are moving around !
Halloween is just around that time, Halloween decorations and pumpkins could be seen everywhere!
The significant castle of Disneyland
At first, I really thought they’re the workers there, but look like they are just Japanese students which are also tourists like us. Seems like princess costumes or others Disney character costumes wear are so popular here ! Perhaps I should also rent one and wear it that day ! ^^
Hehe ! Finally take a photo with ‘snow whites’
Second photos with the princesses !
Looked like it’s time for the parade show !
People are already waiting the show patiently since just now …
The first float coming …
Snow white and the dwarfs
She’s smiling at me !
Meow’s float ! Hahah ^^
I love this gorgeous swam float with 3 princesses among all
Too sad I can’t find Elsa and Anna there …
Shady’s float ! This queen is so huge ！
And lastly the arrival of main character of Disney – Mickey and Minnie
Hello Minnie !
This end the 20 minutes parades show
Here is the full video of the parades show if you are interested to watch it
Cart selling popcorn everywhere …
We first went to the Fantasyland
“It's A Small World”
Baby sitter parking lot ??
Pooh’s Hunny Hunt, still people queuing everywhere …
Little boy, I know sister is pretty, but don’t at me like this, I’ll shy de !
It is ToonTown World !
I still guessing this is real or fake one ?
ToonPark - A small little park for kids
Why long queue again ?!
I guess the only place that without long queue is the restroom
Another parking lots for “sport cars”
Asking direction for the train station
Finally we found it ! But the long queue is even worst than the cruise … my god ! At last, we didn’t get to enter any of the attractions or adventurous game as we don’t have so much time for the queuing up …
Wondering what are these “Minnie girls” looking at ? There’s actually a mini show there but it’s already full seating inside.
Eh, what thing makes this baby so concentrate looking at ???
Oh, there’s another parades show again at this time !
It’s time for some shopping before we leave …
I didn’t managed to take any photos inside the stores as I’m too concentrate and busy looking for the souvenirs inside until I forgot my camera …
When lights turn on, it looks totally different as we came in just now. As many saying that Disneyland is prettier in night than day time, especially the firework show time. However, we can’t wait until so late as all of us have already exhausted for the whole day.
Take a photo with my souvenir before we left this wonderland, guess what’s inside the bag ?
This is the second time I saw a full rainbow in Japan !
Amazing sunset scenery with multi-colour sky
It’s time to leave now … After been to Disneyland, it totally change my mind that it's not only the wonderland for kids, for adults as well, especially most the games design are quite adventurous and exciting for adults. However, I'm too upset that didn't play any of them.
Sayonara !
Second day of food hunt for dinner at Asakusa
There’s McDonald’s here as well, but coming to Japan absolutely I’ll not go for that as there’re so many delicious food available here.
At last, we find this little restaurant selling Ramen and Gyoza. This is a Chinese style restaurant with the food prices here are quite reasonable too ! As we start missing our Chinese food after eaten all meals of Japanese food throughout the trip …
A simple dinner but it surprisingly suit my taste bud especially I love the Gyoza and the fried rice !
Way back to hotel … this back looks so similar ???
Two banana kids ^^
Hey ! So this is my new pink piggy from Disneyland just now ! Did you guess it ? Well, haven’t decide what to name her yet, perhaps you can give me some good suggestion. So that’s all for today’s trip, what a tiring day after long walking for the whole day but it was absolutely a fun and eye-opening experience for me ! Tomorrow we are going to discover more about the other famous and interesting places in Tokyo. Shall see you on next post, oh wait, should be see you next year ! Wish everyone Happy New Year in advance and have a great day ahead !
To Be Continued 9.0 …
