Tokyo Disney Sealand
We went to Tokyo Disney Sealand today and it was wonderful. My friends and I are divided on which is better, Disneyland or Disney Sealand? I thought Sealand was better, at least as far as the scenery goes. There was this huge harbour there with boats going around (including those old style sailing ships which you could walk onto. There was a whole area for Aladdin and another for The Little Mermaid. I think there were more themed areas in Disneyland but they were smaller, like one building or so. There were less themes here but each one was MUCH more extensive which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, there was no Disney castle at this one although you could see it in the distance. We didn't go on any rides again (friends couldn't be bothered waiting in the huge lines). The whole day it was overcast and sometimes it rained ever so slightly, so most of my photos were taken on my Olympus TG-3 cause it was safer and easier. Overall, we had a lot of fun and I'd definitely recommend it to people.
Akihabara
We went to the Gundam Cafe for lunch and it was awesome! They were playing Gundam Seed songs (which is my favourite Gundam series, also one of my favourite animes and the first anime I ever watched so you could say it's the reason I'm in Japan today, 10 years after I began watching it!) I had some kind of pizza which had potato on it which was weird but tasted fine. There were themed meals there which were in the shapes of Gundam heads etc. Also, the plates and spoons etc had pictures or were shaped in the form of a mobile suit. I bought a ton of stuff from the souvenir shop including, a Gundam Mug, Zaku chop sticks, coasters, a pink Haro which has chocolates inside it among other things.
Harajuku
We went down this street in Harajuku which was PACKED (apparently it gets way worse according to my friend which had been before). At the beginning, it starts off on a bit of a hill and slopes down so it's a great chance to get a photo of everyone down there. I also got a cool video of it. It was a pretty cool line of shops but I didn't get much. It's definitely worth checking out! The street is right near the train station, you literally cross the road and head left and it's just on your right. The station there was really pretty as well, lots of green around.
All my photos are on facebook but I'll be sure to upload them here soon! The upload speed here is ridiculous, it's such a breeze.
