T.O.K.Y.O (last post): Day 8 - MacDonalds

July 2013

I am a fan of MacDonalds. Every country's MacDonald is unique in some ways. Japan's MacDonalds has Ebi Burger (Shrimp Burger) and Bacon Potato Pie. Awesome!





Bacon with Potato Paste....A combination of good taste to satisfy the tastebuds!

Missed our flight and had to camp overnight in the airport. Narita Airport in Tokyo is NOT 24 hours operated. It sucks when the police guards started to ask us to shift to basement floors in restricted area if we were to stay overnight. Air-con switched off in the middle of the night.

We had our dinner by having MacDonalds. D ordered Teriyaki McBurger and I order the scrumptious Ebi Burger. You can taste pieces of read shrimps in the patty.


My blessed face with Ebi Burger to satisfy the growling stomach.

The next day, we had breakfast in the airport with McDonalds again! I chose milk instead. The packaging of the milk is cute with the cartoon version of Ronald. I didn't choose green tea drink for breakfast as my first McDonalds breakfast I already had tried it (@ Day 4 post). It is purely green tea without sugar for sweet tea drinker like me. 



Sausage McMuffin with Egg and my all time favourite Mac Hashbrown!


Rotting at airport


Snacks bought at the airport. 
Kit Kat - Blueberry Cheesecake Flavour.
Kit Kat - Sakura Green Tea Flavour. 
Giant sticks of Pocky (Star Wars Version) with 3 different flavours - Strawberry, Green Tea & Grape


My overall shopping!!!



It filled up almost the entire single bed's length.

Fully satisfied with the things I bought. Love the fashion in Harajuku, Japanese clothes / bags / shoes. Yummy food and a fruitful Tokyo trip.

Looking forward to my next Tokyo Trip. Hopefully in 2014!

Next Trip >>> Bangkok!!





T.O.K.Y.O : Day 7 - Namja Town Part 2

July 2013

Namja Town for its Gyoza Stadium and Ice-cream City

I can read basic Japanese - The sign states 'Namja - Gyoza Stadium'










The desserts with cute animal faces .....One reason to visit Namja Town? Go for its desserts

This is how they trace out the cat picture...with a print out below the tracing paper and trace the outline with chocolate!


Ice-cream Shop!!




These displays look like real bread!


Rainbow Ice Cream

Yummy!


Here's my bunny Ice cream. Kawaii!!! (Cute)
Chocolate chips as eyes

Bought it simply cos of the cuteness




The remaining parts of Namja Town are the nostalgic streets during the oldies











A replica of the olden times living room










Here's the haunted part of the village inside Namja Town. Not scary at all.



These seem to be for those who are playing as detectives in Namja Town. There are certain games station but since all are in Japanese, no point since we can't enjoy and don't understand Japanese. Boo






The Japanese visitors used a tracking ghost device but it is meaningless for foreigners like me to play it since I I do not fully understand Japanese



Blurry Photos!!! Apologies


Even the Toilet sign has a cat picture.

Overall, it is sufficient to visit Namja Town. Definitely not comparable to Disneyland or Universal Studios. Only visit Namja Town if you have too much time in Tokyo

We had dinner at Japan's KFC. From the large signboard that advertising this chicken burger, we decided to try it because it looks yummy. But it does not taste as good as it looks from KFC's photos.



We had taiyaki (a fish shaped dessert usually filled with red beans paste) at a departmental store. One of the disappointment in Tokyo is we did not manage to find and try real nice ones. 

Next day is our last day in Tokyo but our trip was extended one day, rotting in the airport as we missed our flight...Argh!!! It was due to the fact that Tokyo's train map does not fully state all the stops of the aiport line and we took 1.5 hours from Ikebukuro to the airport and the express train only came once every hour. Japan is not very tourist friendly when it comes to transportation. The bus driver couldn't really speak English too Most Japanese will only just say 'Hai' (Acknowledgement"

But luckily the policemen and those working as guards are able to speak English and provide us with directions when we are lost in Tokyo.
