Last Days Here :(

BAW, this is all coming to a close, tomorrow is my last full day here in Japan and I don't want it to happen! D: I love it here, and I know I'm going to be coming back (if not living) here in the next year or two. I honestly think what made this trip for me were all the people that I met in my travels.

Okay, so now to catch you guys up? Let's see....Yesterday morning I got up very, very early to travel down to Tsukiji Fish Market. It's that super huge, famous one, you know? Well, I only lasted there for about 15 minutes before I had to leave because I was about to have a panic attack. It wasn't the crowd that affected me, it was being PUSHED by others and just the pure chaos that was all around, I don't know how people don't get hurt there! It's a mad house.

So, after that fail, I came back to the hostel alone and slept for a little bit before getting back up and heading out again. I went to the Pokemon Center first, it was just okay. I then took the train and headed out to Shinjuku to see it and find the Square Enix Showcase. You think my this point, I would stop trusting my memory and actually write things down? I didn't. I eventually found it, but it was just a very long walk from the station.

I got a ShinRa lapel pin for my Elena cosplay and a Moogle cell phone strap. But, I know what you're all waiting to know, and yes...I did see Sephiroth. O. M. G! It was amazing! I think I stood there staring at him in the floor for a good five minutes at least.

After all that, I came back to the hostel and cooked dinner with a few hostel mates, so it was nice to have a rather quiet night. It kinda reminds me...why are all the tea cups taken right now!? I want some teaaaa. D:

So today was pretty fantastic too, I made it out to Tokyo Disneyland with my friends from the hostel and had an amazing day. I honestly kept forgetting that I was in Japan and not back at home! XD It's a little smaller than Magic Kingdom, but it was still so cool! And we got super lucky! Despite the rain at the later end of the day, there were barely any lines for anything which was surprising see that I was reading comments just days before about 3+ hour lines. Heck yes! And another surprising thing, it's a lot cheaper than at home, I bought a super nice Disney umbrella for about $10.

So, going to try to squeeze in a few things tomorrow, I NEED to go to Harajuku one more time, see Shibuya (mainly for Hachiko!) and run to Shinjuku again to get a small back to put in all my goodies! Last minute gift shopping as well, which means another trip to the Pokemon Center. e______e;



PS - The French guy next to me reeeeeeeks! Ew.
