tokyo day 2

woke up late because we relied on polar bear's hp as alarm clock... budden it's not adjusted to tokyo timing! @_@ anyway, today's itinerary is asakusa -> ueno -> disney land
because i'm not exactly a fan of disney... so decide to save some money (tho it's in a sense not very worth it) and bought the night tix for disney land... only can enter in from 6pm onwards

going asakusa is quite convenient from our hotel luckily... we reach there not too late and headed to senso-ji~ (it's a guan yin miao4)

but step into sensoji that time den realise it's partially under reno =_= can't see most of it's roof... doesn't look nice... sigh~ becuz it's guan yin miao4 and i somehow gave my word that i'll go to this temple to bai4 guan yin since i never did so before the tour, i bought one bundle of incense to offer... their incense is not like chinese's one... is a bundle of thinner and shorter incense... but it being a bundle makes it hard to lit... was standing for quite long infront of the stove tryin to light it all up... then hafta stick my hands into that full of incense urn and stuck it in while ppl crowd around trying to kapo some incense smoke? supposed to be good wor!

headed in and saw more booths for ppl to pray for a lot.. but becuz i noe i wun understand what the lot will mean eventually, i stopped myself from getting one... :S so loitered around... look see... then headed to the asakusa jinja which is juz almost next to it..
the jinja isn't really open, the most extend u can go to the entrance, throw coin, bow x2, clap x2, pray, bow... that's about it. i did that, admire the jinja abit and wondered where did the big bell jinja's supposed to have go? or nowadays no more jinja have that le :S

on the way out of that area, stopped by to buy dango to eat :D DANGO!!! yum!

after that... we walked like one metro stop down, explored the neighbouring shops abit, saw some interesting shops(see pictures i uploaded).... then gave up on the idea of walking all the way to ueno and took the metro. Got to ueno really fast... but was a bit lost as to where ameyoko is... took some time before we found it... and once we did we started sweeping up goods... :S so end up got no hands to carry many things le...

with all the barang barang, we managed to snacked abit... shop smmore.... then ate lunch at some conveyer belt sushi restaurant (not reallie great) and decided to head back to hotel to put dwn the goods we bought... then we headed down to disney land

the trip to disney land is shorter than wat i expected, cuz disney land ain't considered to be in tokyo but chiba... it's kinda cold there cuz the wind is strong... and we almost thought we got scammed by the online booking cuz approach 2 booths le they say dun recognise the booking... until we got directed to the correct booth @_@ then they dun allow polar bear to bring his tripod in... oops...
another shocking thing is there is actually quite a no. of ppl who bought night tix and the queue to go in has already formed... :O so we queued awhile... then was let in... chionged in... then headed to get fast pass for space mountain... then headed back to take photos of the disney castle... so while waiting for the parade to start (long time off but see people chopping seats liao O_O) we juz walked walked around to look... long queue for rides everywhere >.>

waited very long for the parade to start... was freezing already :S but the parade's not bad... though some of the floats they showcase i don't know belong to which of their works... sadly after the parade there's no fireworks as the wind is too strong D:

we went to ride a kiddy ride (those u sit in a tea cup one keep turning in circles one) and to their souveneir shops while waiting for our fast pass slot for space mountain... was trying on the different hairbands with ears... and polar bear bought me a pair of mickey gloves... why mickey have 4 fingers? D:
when the time comes... i was wondering if the ride is really that thrilling cuz they provided lotsa escape pods (i.e. escape routes) for ppl to back out last min... well, the ride is... ok la... abit disappointed.. there isn't even any sharp falls... :\ i guess disney land is really v safe for kids :P

we left disney shortly after... went to the shop just outside the entrance to buy more souveniers for the kids. After that, we headed back to shinjuku on empty tummy and ate some ramen that can't beat marutama at the soup or the egg... haiz~
