Kawaii Japan (6th Day - Raining Day)

It was Tuesday already. As I remember, in the same day last week before this Tuesday, I opened my eyes with a lot of spirit, because in the next day I will go to Japan. But this Tuesday, it really hard for me to opened up my eyes.

I saw Retno still beside me on bed. Yes, we shared bed together. She thought the same like me, very lazy to wake up.

This is the last day for me and Retno to stay in Japan. Because on Wednesday we had to come back. Ok, please Aditha, don't talk about your leave in this day!

Well, back to the story on Tuesday. I was not sure what time I had my self wake up, but it probably around 9am or 10. Then I went to have shower. Because (actually) I planned to go to Ueno park and Ueno zoo. It was not sunny, a little bit cloudy.

However, my friend told me that she really wants to go back to Tower Record in Shibuya. She wants to search for Japanese magazine. Anyway, one thing that make me wondering when I see Retno really addict with Japanese actor in the magazine. "Haaaaa, so handsome. Kawaiii". Then I asked to her, "so after you buy the magazine which is having the picture of your favorite actor, so what will you do then?". Se said, "nothing, just look at him". Oh Retno, your answer was really making me broken heart.. </3

But I appreciate about her, because you know, for me, what Retno does was remembering me when I was in junior high school. I bought some poster of A1, the boy band from England. Everyday I watched their poster and wished to go to London. I know by doing that, it gave such a motivation beyond the mind. And look Retno now, she was in Japan at that time. I just thought that I already passed those circle in my life. A mature stage what I'm facing now.

So, because of me and her already went to Shibuya on Monday, so we just took same transportation. We took ourselves by bus to go to Shibuya station. Haaa, fortunately the bus didn't crowded so we had a seat.

It was drizzling actually. But we just ignored it because it was only soft drizzle. Then we arrived in the station without any trouble. Then, after that. Ups, we had no idea in which way we had to start, lol. We decided just walked away, at least we were still in  Shibuya area, lol.

Shibuya was raining at that time. It was the first time I felt how Japan when it raining. I heard that in June, Japan is always raining all the day. Fortunately, the rain just felt when it was my last day. So it didn't bother my activities before. And I was glad I could catch in the rain. It was cold, probably around 15 degrees I guess.

I admitted because of raining at that time, it made us didn't excited to go to many places. We planned to go to Ueno right after Shibuya. But we just cancelled it.

After Retno bought some magazine and CD's, I had another purikura session, now with Retno. For myself, purikura is such kindda fun though.

I know it was such a silly, but both of me and her, we hot harder to come back to the bus station. We just walked (and I thought just circling) in the same area again and again. It took around an hour until we finally found the station. Fiuh.

By the way, if you travel by bus, make sure you know about the schedule to avoid you wasting time to wait (like mine). Because of I didn't know about the schedule, I waited for 20 minutes.

For taking the bus, you have to pay 200 yen / IDR 20.000 one-way. I was not sure about the last destination of this bus from Shibuya because I finished in Yoyogi street.

Raining all the day

In the evening, I asked Dave to accompany me and Retno to go to Daiso store in Shinjuku. I thought the rain would stop, but it didn't. Aaaaargh, it was really annoying. I was not comfortable to look around when raining. :(

However, because of Retno really wants to go there to buy some souvenirs, well okay, we did it. And I planned to had a purikura session (again, lol) with Dave. Because I knew, I might not see him again as his life is for travelling around the world. However, picture is the best tool to keep the memories inside, isn't it?

Anyway, 3 times I had a purikura, the price is same, 400 yen / IDR 40.000 per session.

Put your 100 yen here for 4 times = 400 yen

You can find purikura in the game station or somewhere which has this box.

Purikura itself has 3 boxes. The first box above, is for taking the picture. It has green screen behind.

After taking some pictures, we can edit as fun as we want.

Edit the photo with special pen

You have to do that as fast as you can because the time is really limited.

Then, wait your photo here.

Trust me, when you are in Japan, you have to do this.

Well, after that we had a dinner together. I saw the Yoshinoya and we went there.

My menu for dinner

Went to Daiso checked. Purikura checked. Dinner checked. So now time to go home. Dave guided us to look around Shibuya. It was great time however unfortunately I only had one day :(

He showed me the replica of Empire State Tower and Lourve Pyramid. I do believe I will see them for real one day ;)

Empire State Tower

Lourve Pyramid

I think that time was the last time for me to explore Japan. Because next day I had to prepare myself to come back to Indonesia.

Love,
