once stepped out form the house,
saw beautiful sakura, full bloomed!
great timing. it's all about timing!

my sleeping started in bart.
slept 30 minutes in the bart.
9 hours in the plane,
40 minutes in narita express.
my head was clear by the time i got off at korakuen station.
yeah! sleeping!!!

once i stepped out from the train station, i was surrounded by cosplayers.
what a great quality!
but, where am i? what are these people doing???

more and more cosplayers

and view from the room.
i will find a time to go ride that roller coaster!

went out for dinner!

remembered i forgot to bring toothpaste, so went out and found this.
dear mother, i just spent $10 on this toothpaste...

and my love towards peach and drinkable yogurt!

but to find out i need bottle opener to drink this! no!

spent about 20 minutes fighting with the bottle.
almost broke the teeth, hotel's table...
then realize i am at the hotel.

bees and honey

every time i have honey in the morning,
i think of how crazy bees worked for the amount of honey i have.
and now, at this hour (4:30am) i think to my self..
"what do i get at the end of the day, working hard..."

no honey....
nor money...

great way to start morning with bee pollen
