L gave me directions on how to get to Atsugi but I'm retarded, I wrote it down and then forgot to bring it with me. I somehow got off at the right stop then went out the wrong exit. Went through a McDonald's, a travel agency, and then a internet cafe to find her haha. She was waiting for me with flowers in hand...
Isn't it lovely?
She took me to go eat at her favorite noodle/ramen place
We both got the shin shin men (the spicy red one)
pretty true to picture no?
its a set menu so it comes with fried rice and gyoza (not pictured)
I couldn't wait to dig in
After lunch we went on base for some ice cream, a mini break in her oh so comfortable love sack, and then to her class. I didn't take any pics due to food coma and forgetfulness. I've never even been on any sort of base back home so the experience was one of a kind. I then tagged along to one of her english class and I was so glad I stuck around to witness her sing ABC with these adorable kids.
L is gangsta I tell you, with serious driving skills. I made her pose with her Sylvia. That's right! A Sylvia!!
L has the picture of us together, I'll have to steal it from her when she uploads it :)
Atsugi has some crazy roads, some vids...
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I had a blast and can't wait till you come to NYC! MUAH!
I went back to Shinjuku and walked around a bit...
Shinjuku station, busiest in the world
Shinjuku at night
another street where I found another 100Yen store! yay!
I also found a small beads/jewelry shop inside one of the department stores
tons of cute stuff
This pic was taken the day with Aya actually
I have a records store!
The state of my hand at the end of the night...
I was swatching Esprique Precious liquid eyeshadows
It was late and I didn't want to look around too much so settled for some Ringer Hut (I know Yumeko can't comprehend this either lol)
another set meal
The mini haul
from the 100Yen store I bought some containers and then got some masks and more random makeup stuff from the drugstore
Esprique Precious liquid shadow in Gold, Canmake lipstick in Peach Beige, both are YUM!
I made it to Kyoto Today. Note to self, need a 4 wheeler suitcase inside of 2.
And for those of you that asked, I am traveling by myself.
Next up, meeting NicNic, Yumeko, and May
the bed is caling for me...
