Day 2 - Tokyo Disneyland
東京ディズニーランド

Accommodation - Sunshine City Prince Hotel in Ikebukuro
Highlights: DISNEYLAND ITSELF!

Arrival at Disney Resort

Saxophone Quartet! How reminiscing..

Jet Coaster 1: First stop was Space Mountain. We couldn't wait to take this ever-popular ride!! Even if it meant turning into a Gero(Vomit) Merlion..

Waiting.. woohoo!

Even the waste bin looks nice..


Jet Coaster 2: Big Thunder Mountain - another of the scary Mountain series

Some dinosaurs inside the caves..

proud of these pictures! :)
nice shots eh!


STAR ALERT: STITCH!
人気物
you won't believe the popularity of Stitch in Japan. Mickey and Minnie are passe..
All handphone accessories are Stitch, Hello Kitty, Kewpie, and this apparently very popular green thing (i'll find out soon)

have to grab him to get a chance to take pic..

コンサートみたいね？
like concert right?


サインもしてあげた
give signature somemore..

finally! after jostling and many minutes of waiting.
useful phrase to ask people to take picture for you:
写真を撮ってもらいますか？
shashin wo totte moraimasu ka?
Can you take a picture for me?

3 fast passes allowed only. Of cos we use it on the Mountain series.

all-time fav!


Jet Coaster 3: last of Mountain series - Splash Mountain

relaxing cartoon characters before the scary ride..

Maid Mouse?

i wonder how it feels to wear that heavy Mousy thing..

熱いね、この格好。

Cinderella was so fake, haha!

Stitch show.. boring. A kid's show.

Probably done by Disney staff donned in white.

ホテルに行かなきゃので花火が見てなかった。残念！！
Couldn't catch the fireworks cos we had to leave for the hotel..


On the way to Ikebukuro.. the fence thingy is to block off the traffic noise so that residents are able to live in peace.. Singapore should have this too, rather than giving excuses..

view from hotel..
dinner was Chinese cuisine at Ikebukuro


vending machine for newspapers!
no need for newspaper vendors already.

池袋
Ikebukuro

First time we chanced upon this shop called マツモトキヨシ Matsumoto Kiyoshi
It's like Watsons+Sasa but 10x larger. Sells everything you need at very low prices!!
KOSE is very cheap over there!
Sok Harn will love that place.



Legendary road stall

Many wanted criminals. Be careful..

JDrama 学校じゃ教えられない
School drama, a bit lame, but not bad.
in the show, this guy falls in love with his best friend aka he's gay
but he's like the most eligible out of the others.
guess this kind of things happens!
