Cool sink! All in one!
Sushi candy and Ramune! :D
I don’t know if my noodle diet these last couple of weeks has started to fuck with my brain, but I found something awesome at McDonalds! Not sure about the name of it but something like “Juicy chicken w chili flavor”. And guess what, it lives up to its name!! It’s not the jucky mushy normal chicken hamburger. This one is crispy and has the best taste ever! You have it in your countries too? Doubt we have it in Sweden :( Gonna eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner now the last week.
Need to try these two things! (tnx, Maho) They look like a blast :D Have found a lot of weird candy and drinks throughout the trip, these two just add to the collection! Heading to the grocery store soon, gonna see what we can find!
UPDATE: We went to two grocery stores, neither had the Neri Ame. :( Both times when we asked they tried to express something more in english, but couldn’t. Maybe it’s not sold anymore? But we got the Ramune! :D
Living in a city w 13 000 000 million ppl (that just being the most central parts, counting the entire Tokyo district it’s more like 35 000 000 (!!) ), it’s easy to think you would get stressed out w all of the ppl everywhere, trying to keep up with the pace. On the contrary! I have never felt this comfortable… anywhere! Knowing they are so many ppl, they’ve adapted and developed a unique skill. They are so freakin organized it’s scary! In Sweden, everyone just complains and nothing is done to solve the problems. Here, everything just works. Everyone knows that you walk down the stairs on the left side and up on the right in order to avoid collision. You always stand on the left side on the escalators letting the ones in more of a hurry pass u on the right. Waiting for the subway you form small queues all along the platforms where the doors are to open. Neat and simple. The rules aren’t written anywhere, everyone just does it. Getting on the bus or train in Sweden ppl cut in front of you, push and elbow you, thinking they’re better than you. A freakin witch-hunt! Everyone is just annoyed and unfriendly. Everything but peaceful. If someone contrary to expectation were to step on your shoes or elbow you over here, they politely apologize.
When walking around in stores in Japan you can actually stroll around and enjoy the experience. When trying clothes on, the shop attendant shows you to the dressing room and tells u to “take your time”, even though the queue is long as fuck. They take it all w ease! It’s nothing to get stressed about! Ppl don’t look at you strangely if you pass the ice cream counter in the grocery store for the 10th time. You can contemplate your options thoroughly (which suits be perfectly since I often have a hard time choosing stuff; What if that other one tastes better? What am I really craving?). The book stores are again a great example, they are designed for you to take your time. You don’t need a chair to sit on in order to rest, the relaxed atmosphere makes that unnecessary. It’s hard to explain, but it’s all a pretty strange mix. Everyone knows their place. What if everyone was this disciplined! There is still hope for humanity, I tell u!
Yesterday we went to the movies in Shibuya and watched Transformers! I really really liked it :D The effects were awesome! I totally got into it, and now I keep seeing transformers everywhere! Some cars REALLY look like them. I’m telling you, they are after us!!
Enjoying some awesome lunch at Design Festa in Harajuku, Tokyo. We didn’t really know how to prepare these dishes, but I think we almost got it right. The first one is a Okonomiyaki and the last one Yaki soba!
