Day 5: Disneyland
Disneyland, the holy grail of all Mickey fans, the place where thousands and thousands of Japanese girls trying to look their cutest when posing with Mickey for pictures, and hours long queue to get a ride of Space Mountain.
Our group arrived before the park open but the whole place was so packed, yan san, yan hoi. And the fact that it’s a weekday really surprised me.
It was said that in Japan, they won’t ask you “Have you been to Disneyland?” Instead, they will ask you “How many times have you been to Disneyland?”
You can see all the girls from children to hot chicks and even the young guys are wearing those Mickey ears on their head. Some even come in a Chip & Dale jumpsuit. From 10am – 4pm, I only managed to try Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, MicroAdventure! & Space Mountain.
Because it’s the last night in Tokyo, the tour agent arranged for us something grand in Shinjuku. According to them, the full crab course meal, kanidoraku, is very expensive, and very seldom they get tour groups having them, especially such big group. From appetizer to the last course, it’s all crab.
The most memorable was to meet up with Chika (Sonobe) & Nao (Hikino), I haven’t met Nao for almost 5 years. It’s a pleasant surprise to both of them in Tokyo. My memorable visit to Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun, came to an end the following day, but not before I had another bowl of the mouth-watering ramen ! Sayonara, mata ai ma sho (hope to see you again).
