Irashaimase !! - Tokyo Part 1

Pheewww, i finally got few hours to blog about my first trip ever in Japan =D !!!

As an anime fan girl since i was kid, i dreamed all my childhood about visiting the country of manga. I wasn't excited before my departure for Japan because of few issues but now that i am here for 4 days now I am like a kid ! As you can guess it's just awesome to visit all those districts i only knew by their names and Mio is the best guide/host ever. She tried as much as she can to fill my schedule and we are having a lot of fun together.

So for the first 4 days, i've been to :

Tokyo Dome

They have this crazy a$$ rollercoaster that go through the building O_o !

And no we didn't try...

Shibuya for shopping !! Mio and I spent 5h in the famous  Shibuya 109, a building of 7 floors with just shops for girls !! It's the EVILEST place on earth i think...

Roppongi to meet Mai. There was a festival about japanese traditional culture. I could see for the 1st time people wearing Yukata ^_^ It's pretty !

Harajuku, Takeshita street for more shopping MUAHAHA ! And yeah on Sunday it's a little bit crowded...

"Nudy boy" ???? I didn't see any...so sad =p

No we didn't eat that it's the fake plastic items in the shop window of a random buffet. I took the pictures because i knew it was plastic but it made me feel hungry...

Mio and her japanese serving of nachos hahaha

Daiba, to see the giant Gundam before they remove it. To tell the truth i've never watched a single episode of Gundam so far. But i like meccha, my favorite giant robot is Gunbuster and my favorite meccha is Valkyries from Macross ! So seeing a robot at human scale is just a must do for me. I was as excited as a kid on Christmas Eve !! When I saw it i was so happy, it confirmed what I said long time ago : In my next life i want to be a Valkyrie's pilot !

In the metro station they put a sign : "Gundam this way" haha

I got goosebumps when it moved its head... (stop laughing at me !!!)

Tsukishima to get Okonomiyaki after all the emotions with Gundam ;)

Mio told me it's an old district with a lot of small restaurants and in old school style.

Mio cooked the monja (from Tokyo) and the okonomiyaki (osaka).

The second one took forever ZZZZzzzzz...

But hella Yummi !! Monja was good but I prefer okonomiyaki  ^^

Pour les francophones, maintenant je sais ce que ca fait : "Oh Lucile embrasses moooaaa, on a passe l'ageuh !...des enfantillageuh, Lucile embrasseuh moa ! " LOL

Akihabara, because i am an ōtaku =p

Actually I didn't do much because I was with Taiga so I didn't want to make him walk too much.

I'll go back by myself later i think.

Kagurazaka, to eat sukiyaki !! This street on a hill, is really cute, old school style.

Before dinner, Mio took me to a dessert place with typical japanese desserts ! OMG so good !

Mocchi !!

When everything is cooked you dip it in a raw yolk and enjoy !

Shinjuku, to realize that the department store My City doesn't exist under this name anymore.

For those who didn't know it yet City Hunter is my favorite manga and the heroes Ryo Saeba and Kaori Makimura are a kinda dynamic duo who works as officially detective in Shinjuku. When you want to hire them you just need to go to Shinjuku station in the building My City and write on the black board "XYZ".

Yes i was disapointed because it was a legend to me...My City is now Lumine Est since a couple of years. Actually i was heartbroken.

(stop laughing at me again...)

I ended up by wandering in Shinjuku streets, comforting myself by telling myself that at least i could see where my heroes were supposed to live. I'm hopeless i know...

Shinjuku is alive, i liked it. I think i'll go once again before going back to China.

Random:

At Shinjuku, Mio and Taiga went back home first so Mio gave me Taiga's mobile in case of.

There is an emergency module to pull if i am in trouble ! There's a GPS to locate me haha !

Funny foods : Oreo barre with banana, Kit Kat Lime Soda, munchies with shave ice green tea and red bean flavor, double layers cream and chocolate Pocky like cookies.

It's 2am now, i should go sleep so to be continued !
