人生の物語: Just Another Side Story: 十一、十二、十三：さよなら東京．．． Pt. 2

Day 12

This was our final day in 東京 and we had some errands to run before it was too late. We head to 原宿 first. Shuu had to get a T-Shirt for his friend, Yama, and I had to get a ring for Kamil. Before heading down 竹下通り, we ran into one of the foreign guys from the concert. It was a real surprise. It wasn't the last time we would see him that day though. We saw him leaving when we first went in, again when we were coming back down the street to do my errand, and one more time when we were heading to the station. It's been a running joke of mine that he would just show up out of nowhere to surprise us. XD Anyways, we headed to DEATH TRAP ID first, where they were selling the DALI T-shirt that Yama wanted. An unexpected surprise was the ticket to shake hands and have a picture with Dali at one of their lives while we were still Japan. Shuu died a little on the inside. I lul'd. Afterward, I bought a pretty cool looking ring for Kamil. *not as sharp as mine, but it gets the point across* along with some pants chains.

*Entrance to SexPot Revenge.... Gotta love it*

After that was done with, we tried to figure out what else to do that day. We ended up going to a shrine in the area, which was really cool. I bought an お守りfor one of my coworkers and that was it for 原宿.

*Entrance to the Shrine*

*Sake Barrels*

*I think we were supposed to do this first...*

Afterward, we went to 池袋 to go to Ice Cream City in サンシャインシティー. It was a part of this place called Namjatown, which was this mini theme park thing. It was really cool. In Ice Cream City, we mainly went to the cup area, where they had the "unique" flavors. Shuu bought Sugar Cane and Rose flavored ice cream.

*Rose flavored Ice Cream*

I bought Deep Sea Vanilla and Sunflower flavored ice cream.

*Sunflower flavored Ice Cream*

The sunflower was.... different. It was very chewy b/c of the sunflower seeds and tasted like sunflower oil. Next, I ate the Deep Sea Vanilla. It was very, very sweet, which was awesome. However.... the after taste was..... uhmmm.... well, it tasted like salty sea water. You live up to your name Deep Sea Vanilla. Hats off to you.

*First Ice Cream Exhibit*

*Second Ice Cream Exhibit*

*Squid Ice Cream*

*Octopus Ice Cream*

*Indian Curry Ice Cream*

Afterward, we did this spy game, which we failed horribly on, mainly b/c of the ones that had questions. After that, I did this alien thing, which I only half understood. I got 29 out of 40, so I must have been doing something right. XD After getting lost and basically exploring the remainder of the area, we finally met up and GTFO'd. It was a good ending to our trip.

*Relaxation area of the place*

Day 13

I got up around 9am and started to get ready to head out. To my surprise, Shuu was already awake. We got ready, cleaned up a little, said our final good byes and left. It was such a pain trying to get to get to the 新幹線. To my surprise, my backpack was very heavy :/ The CDs and other stuff really weighed it down. We arrived on time *actually early* and waited for our ride. We rode the のぞみ to 新大阪 which took about 2 and a half hours. It was really cool watching the scenery pass by. It also didn't feel like we were going 300 km/hr. We arrived in 新大阪 and transferred over to 大阪駅. Then we took the 地下鉄 to our new hotel, which was only a little further than 目白. When we finally entered our room we were super surprised. IT WAS HUGE!! It was an actual mini apartment. We had separate rooms, a bigger bathroom, a TV/ VCR, and a table! XD We got settled and explored some of the area. Essentially, that was the end of the day.
