Lost in Tokyo

Arghh!!!! I was updating our blog yesterday and then Gem's laptop just decided to freeze on me just as I was about to finish and publish it!!! ...and I wrote sooo much too!!!...Guess it'll teach me to save periodically...

Anyways Gem and I went to Tokyo on Tuesday and had an awesome time, though half the time we were lost and trying to find our way around but I guess it was an adventure in itself. We left the house at 7.30am and didn't get home till 12.30am. First we visited Harajuku and Omotesando Hills, then we made a few wrong turns, got lost and ended up at some random train station. So we decided to take the train to Shinkjuku and our last stop was Shibuya before we headed home.

Unless my memory fails me, Harajuku seemed to have changed a little since we last visited. But our good ol crepe store was still there...so we had a strawberry strawberry...it was d-licious!!! After abit of shopping, we headed to Omotesando Hills, where all the big brands reside, nothing of which we could afford haha...but nonetheless, it was good window shopping!! We intended to head back to Takeshita street and the back streets around there but somehow got lost for about an hour...ended up at a residential area haha and was totally starving...wanted to eat Japanese food but ended up in a Chinese restaurant owned by some Honkie dude...food was so so...but it filled us up so we were happy! Then walked a little and lucky for us we found ourselves at a train station, one we'd never heard of~

Got to Shinjuku in a jiffy but headed out the wrong exit so the smoking police headed us in the right direction. On the way we went to a game centre (arcade) and won ourselves a toy with 600 yen, not too bad I guess~ There are soooo many humongous departmental stores in Shinjuku...Takashimaya/Tokyu Hands, Odakyu, Keio, Mylord, Isetan, Mycity to name a few!! Seriously didn't spend enough time there, but really wanted to go to Shibuya so we left.

Back to Shibuya again, this time I went shopping...went crazy at 109 I bought heaps hehe..finally I have some new clothes to wear!! Went past heaps of bizarre looking people...I wanted to take pics of/with them but Gem wouldn't let me!!! =P Went to HMV, had dinner then went home.

Was totally drained by the end of the day and didnt realise we had to change trains on the way home so took us twice as long to get home. Probably a total of 5 hrs travelling that day!...but it was worth it =)
