19th and last day ~ the end of all things

Wednesday, 29.08.

While Michi was going to Ginza for visiting a market, Lau and I decided to spend our last day and our last money in Shibuya, one of our favourite areas of Tokyo.
I was sad and depressed, like always when things are ending.

So we took a last round at Shibuya 1o9 and take a look at the shops there. I knew that I will miss the great shops there.

I just bought some lashes at SBY, tights from Ma*rs and a bra at d.i.a. I also needed a hand luggage bag 'cause my suitcase was already full.
After I was nearly on the rocks ^^°

After shopping we were thirsty and made a stop at Excelsior Café for drinking and smoking. We had a nice view out of the window.

In the afternoon we met Michi at Hachiko statue. Michi still was searching for a big bento box so we went to Loft and Tokyu Hands, some department stores, and finally she was happy to find one ^O^

Hachiko statue

happy Michi is happy XD

After a brief stop at Mandarake, a shop who sells doujinshis, anime, manga, cosplay stuff,  where Michi bought some CLAMP stuff, we took the last purikura of us.

Yamanote line

We left Shibuya in the evening and like everytime we came back to our hotel we stopped by at the ashtray.
We cooled down in our room and prepared us for the last dinner in Japan.

We went to our udon shop near our hotel and I had niku udon [beef]... very delicious.

In the evening my dear Aya-chan came for last time to stay over night. While Lau and Michi were sleeping Aya-chan and I went to the ashtray and talked a long time before we went to bed.
During the night there were two earthquakes but I hadn't recognized it.

In the morning we went for breakfast at Tully's and then I had to say goodbye to Aya-chan. I was crying, I love her really much, she's such a kind person.
Michi, Lau and I took the subway to the Narita airport.

The onigiri I bought from my last money at the airport. Goodbye, Japan!
I met a lot of nice people, had a lot of fun and I can't await it to come back next year. Our journey will be from 29th March until 13th April 'cause I want to celebrate my birthday in Tokyo.
I'm really looking forward to it!

18th day ~ Ueno

Tuesday, 28.08.

On that day we decided to visit Ueno 'cause we didn't went to that area the year before. We took the way south from the station via Okachimachi and strolled through the small charming streets.

There were a lot of shops where you can buy everything...also some strange things and I discovered a shop with creepy figures.

Say hello to Chucky, the star of the horror movie 'Child's Play'... I was afraid of this movie when I was a child and now I saw that thing in the middle of Tokyo XD

But first of all we were searching for ABAB, a shopping center 'cause we heard about a Ma*rs shop there and I wanted to have a look 'cause I had some money left.

At Ma*rs I bought this cute set *O* That picture above I took from the website 'cause I hadn't worn it until last weekend XD but I really love it, it looks so cute.

I also bought that black shorts for wearing under skirts. It was very cheap so I can't resist.
After leaving the shopping center Lau was searching for another Donki. At the Kasuga dori we finally found the shop.

Lau was buying some stuff. I was very interested in the big salt water tank at the entrance so I watched the fishes for a while.
Later on Michi wanted to go to Asakusa. She heard about a street where you can buy things for the kitchen and Michi is totally in love with cooking so we were searching for the Kappabachi dori there.

 

 Michi bought a lot of stuff there but she hadn't found her wished big bento box. Poor Michi!

17th day ~ short trip to Harajuku

Monday, 27, August

While Michi went to a guided tour to the Shinjuku government district, Lau and I went again to Harajuku for shopping.

My outfit that day: Garula. I like that onepiece really much even like my brand off shoes. My extensions that day don't wanted like I want and I hadn't felt very well that day.

First we went to Takeshita doori to buy a present for our friend at the shop who sells some star stuff.
She also likes Golden Bomber, especially Jun so we bought some merchandise.

We also went to Kinji used clothing, Laforet and strolled through every small shop. It was nice but I only bought another onepiece at Liz Lisa while Lau was buying nearly the whole Kenji used clothing shop XD

In the early afternoon I felt so bad that I decided to go back to our hotel. Lau was meeting Michi in Shibuya because they wanted to visit Tower Records.
Michi was happy 'cause she finally got her book of Kenji, Lau bought a CD of An Cafe and Golden Bomber and my friends also bought me the Golden Bomber CD 'The Golden Best for Germany'.
Thank you, honeys!

16th day ~ Oktoberfest and Shimokitazawa

Sunday, 26.08.

The Sunday started very late and lazy with breakfast. After we decided to go for a walk at Shiba Park 'cause we heard about a Oktoberfest there and we wanted to take a look, how Japanese celebrate it XD

Shiba Park was just a few minutes away from our hotel. Also there's the great Tokyo Tower we visited already last year, but the view is awesome and I had to take a picture ^O^

It was funny when we arrived 'cause everything was decorated with German and Bavarian flags and there were a lot of stalls with German beer, sausage and other German tasty things.

The beer tent was a lot of smaller than the tents in Munich. But we hadn't join, it was too hot and too early to drink beer so we left after looking.

In the early evening we met Aya-chan in Shibuya at Hachiko-statue. It was so crowd that I thought we wouldn't find her. But after a few minutes she appeared.
We left Shibuya and went to Shimokitazawa because we wanted to visit a Korean restaurant for dinner there.

I was irritated 'cause you had to roast the meat on the table. The fat was splashing and it was sooo hot because of the hotplate. So I ate another meal but...I don't know what it was, it was very spicey.

Aren't we sexy with that paper aprons? XD Later on Haruya joined us, one of the guys we met at the party in the Izakaya one week before.

In front of the restaurant from left to right: Haruya, myself, Aya-chan and Lau. By the way, I don't like Korean food but the restaurant was nice even there was a biiiig cockroach *lol*....The girls were screaming.

Haruya was calling Kase-chan, another guy we met before in the Izakaya, 'cause he felt a little bit uncomfy alone with four girls XD
After Kase-chan arrived we went to a game center for taking purikura together.

We were happy 'cause the purikura room was empty and really cool.

There was a big make up corner with hair dryer and curling irons for free and huuuge mirrors, so very comfortable for us girls.
And please say hello to my personal hair dresser Haruya XD
He was really cute and funny that evening.

I really love my girls and it was sooo much fun with them. But first we started with purikura together with the boys. It was really difficult to get all six persons on the pics.

Lau and Aya-chan got the job to decorate them... I hate decorating, Michi wasn't also interested in and the boys..eh...can't decorate.

But we all had a look if they did it well. By the way, I wore my new Liz Lisa onepiece and the cardigan that day. I really love the dress even it's kinda short.
Lau said, it's the brand 'Baby, take me tonight' *lol* but I disagree... I looked very serious, ne? XD
After they finished Haruya took me to another purikura machine [I wanted to have some with him so bad].
I recognized when we were in that it was such a girlfriend x boyfriend machine >///<

The puris are looking very spartan 'cause he had to decorate them...I was only looking for it and gave him some instructions XD

We all had a lot of fun there.

Later on us girls decided to make another purikura... I hadn't done sooo many purikuras in my whole life like that day x___X

So for me it's enough purikura for the next ten years I guess. But the results are nice and it's a lovely memory of a wonderful day.

The boys had to wait for us ^^

After resting and chatting a little bit we wanted to go for an hour to a karaoke bar so we left the center.

We sung old songs from Stevie Wonder [without Ray Charles XD], Spice Girls and other songs from 3847 years ago but it was really funny and I had a great time.
We left around midnight with the last train of the Yamanote line.
