Quick Photo Note
Well, after 35+ hours of travel time, from waiting at Narita to taking the Greyhound from Canada to Seattle, we’re finally home. I have a hell of a lot of photos to go through.
So with that said, I’ll post here whenever I upload a batch. :) Thanks so much for following along! Time to defeat jet lag. :3

It’s finally here, we’re staring at our gate back to Vancouver. Eleven days felt like months. And even in that short time, we felt like we’ve found a lot more than a great vacation spot here in Japan. It felt like we found a second home. So many memories. We’re really going to miss this place.
Sayonara Nippon, until we meet again. :)
(It’ll definitely take us a while to stop instinctively bowing, if we do at all.)

It’s 6:54 in the morning an we’re on our way to the airport. :(
Last night we were going to go to the airport early because Bryan was getting sick, until we realized we had missed the last express train there ._.;
We wandered around Shinjuku trying to find a place to sit, until we found a place called “Manga Net,” a sort of resting area, where you can rent your own cubicle type space. Ours had a couch TV and computer with internet (which is the only part I managed to get in a picture) and was built for 2, so it fit us pretty comfortably.
We paid fir the night package, so it was only $15 each for 8 hours (plus free drinks). We watched part of Narnia (the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) and then found a Japanese game show in which guests (including Matsumoto Jun had to try and putt a giant golf ball with a giant golf club into a giant hole (with points awarded to however close you got, like a target).. the aim wad a hole-in-one, but they all pretty much sucked at it! LOL.. I’m gonna miss Japanese TV :<
Alas, that was our last uniquely Japanese experience! Now we’re on our way back home, and it’s just come all too soon :/
At least we’ve managed to do a lot in the short time we’ve been here, but we’re already looking forward to the next time we can come back! Japan actually started feeling a little bit like home. ♥
Since we checked out of our hotel already, we’re just hanging around Shibuya waiting for morning to come. But it’s only 8, so it looks like we have a lot more waiting to do!
This picture is of a café we stopped by but didn’t get to go into, because a private party was being held. The lobby was nicely decorted, though, with a disco ball and everything! And around the corner i could see a glimpse off a cabinet with a display of autographed stuff.

I did see some cosplayers while in Harajuku, but they usually move to fast for me to take a picture! they must do that on purpose.
In this picture you can see some in the back (in red).

So Bryan and I split up for a while, he went to play his new favorite game (Lord of Vermilion) while I went shopping in Harajuku.. for THE LAST TIME!!! TT^TT
But at least I managed to get lots of cute stuff, like the necklace pictured! And some skirts, and a top, some accessories ♥
