Japan day 2: Kabuki & Takeshita Dori

use google maps to get yourselves to anywhere you want. but make sure that you CAN read maps.

i am a gifted map reader. i always scored the highest in Geography during middle school.

ok that doesnt make any sense. 

but.. really.. yeah i did some research on Seoul for our last trip so it is kinda easy for us to go to the places that we i want to go; and we also had a student to guide us.

this time, i didnt do any research and told my travelling partner: just buy air tickets & reserve accommodation. once we reach there, just take whatever brochure and plan for trips on the spot. 

and so... yeah. just use google maps; and you might want to have a copy of subway guide, which you might need to ask from the subway officer for the English/Romaji version.

today... we initially planned to go to Fujiyama and we promised ourselves that we shall get going at 7.30am, but we woke up at 9.30am.

teehee~

ok so we didnt go to Fujiyama today but we went to see a Kabuki performance at the National Theatre. we were lucky that we reached there just as the performance started at 12 noon. the ticket range is JPY1,500 - 12,000++. 

non Japanese speakers are advised to rent a receiver at JPY700 / pcs with refundable deposit of JPY1000/pcs. we went in quite late and the kabuki performance have already started. it was about a magical sword that brings rain. however, once Act 1 ended i went to return the receiver and...

staff: mou owari desu ka?

me: iie, tomodachi wa "kabuki wa tsumaranai" tte itteta. "hoka no doko ka he ikitai" tte itteta.

well, at least we had the experience of watching kabuki performance. i get to know that there will be a performance when we were watching tv at the common room in the ryokan last night and there was a brochure.

next we went to Takeshita Dori. just because. lemme show you a vid:

lol vids cant be more than 100MB if it were to be uploaded here.

not much to do in Takeshita Dori anyway, just sight seeing for good sense of fashion. we planned to visit Harajuku one more time during the weekend to look for cosplayers. 

after Takeshita Dori we went back to Ameyayokocho for food (there was a chicken rice shop which a Malaysian celebrity came to eat and the shop owner hang his photo there) and shoes! i mean... uggs!

see?

uggs.

one of the most hated footwear on 9gag.

nyahahahahahah!

by the way i survived without Higa-ing. but no i cant do anything about 9gagging.

goodbye roommates! 

i am going to drown myself in 9gag! 

and hopefully not going to sleep to late!

and hopefully we can go to Fujiyama tomorrow as planned!

hopefully~
