i'm back from japan already and i feel really lazy. anyways, just a random piece of news, i like it when there's turbulence during plane rides cuz it's kinda like those 3d mobile thingies where they seat you in this mechanism that goes up and down as you watch some 3d film... or something like that.
so the destination that my rents decided to go to was shinagawa and we went to this hotel that had such a pretty lobby but a not so nice room (the sheets had BLOOD STAINS on it!) then we went out to eat dinner at this little ramen store.
then the next day my mom, aunt, grammy and i went to ueno market cuz my mom wanted to look at fish (and eat sample food) and my grandma wanted to buy apples and i didn't want to go to disneyland with my dad and sis cuz he never lets me ride the nice rides (aiyah go for the one that's not so high la! later you fly off the coaster how?)

AUNT!
along the way to the market (where we got lost) my aunt was telling my the story of when she and her friend went to Nepal and they were happily drying their clothes and warming themselves in front of this nice warm fire only to find that the fire was fueled by patties of yak poop.

OMELETTE MAN!
so along the way we passed by a kabuki theater! it looked pretty and i managed to watch some kabuki performances there in japan.... on the hotel tv. the scenery there was nice too. my mom led us to this noodle store and the noodles was fab. a tad bit salty but really good. and we also went to this omelette placey and the omelettes were really delish! i think they put sugar in it too. AND I BOUGHT MITARASHI DANGO AGAIN MUAHAHAHAHA. and my mom was giving me the 'you'll grow fat talk'.

noodlesssssss

kabuki theater! blocked by a tree!

kabuki theater! now blocked by cars!
and it was really hilarious cuz along the way, we saw a couple of old aunties with
purple hair! haha it was so funny cuz their hair at the base was white and they ave this crop of purple on top. my aunt and i came to the agreement that they used black dye that was purple based and the black stuff kinda... didnt stick around. so whie my mom was eating free smaples (code term: let's go eat food!) my aunt and i wandered off and found ourselves snapping photos and looking at knife stores. they have lots and lotsa knives! and they even had this huge one with a huge blade.

KNIVES!

a lil blurry but click to enlarge. you can see the cute little dinky stuff down there too!
japanese people are stick skinny and their shows are quite amusing even though i havent a clue what their talking about. one minute their watching this sad film about this couple breaking up and the next they start laughing cuz this guy got really mad. talk about personality change. and there was this one that was really ridiculous cuz they put three guys alone in this room and for some unknown reason the youngest dude stripped down to his undies... yea...
