End Of The Year.

17/12;

Left J-town at 2am. Arrived at Soetta-Kansai , Osaka at 9am ish baby, but it's just the worst when you sat at the plane too long and then you can finally move your feet and all. First thing first was me running straight to LAWSON to buy tuna onigiri that I've been so obsessed with since the last time I went here. Love the fact that Japan always have these vending machines legit on every corner and I've been missing their milk tea a lot so that's the second thing I did. Waited at the airport about almost half an hour because our airbnb wasn't ready yet. I sat as I observed the airport and missed these view so much, the way Japanese walks so fast as if they're late for work, vending machines, how damn clean every place would be because they're just so responsible and really meant to be abide by the rules.

Arrived at our airbnb at like 3pm and boy did that felt good and tiring at the same time, for bringing 7 luggages by the nine of us (yeah, the big fam, including my 2 aunt and one of their husband) from train to train, then long walk on the sidewalk. Felt like exercising. We spent the rest of the day by resting ourselves out unpacking (not all of) our stuff since we're only gonna stay 3 days in Osaka. But before that we did took a little walk again and ate some warm takoyaki on the sidewalk.

First 'must-visit' in Osaka would honestly be Universal Studio (and yaz, for the 2nd time) I'm excited two times than last year because I wanted to see my little brothers' reaction and how hype could they get. But the fact is that, they were too scared to ride the scary rides like the one on Jurassic Park and especially the long one inside Hogwarts castle.

They got hyped mostly because how dope the food was, like the popcorn and all. But there was these minion pizza, which was chocolate, melting marshmallow and bananaa on it. That was like all of my favourite things in one bite I was so heavenly satisfied.

Legit the most beautiful thing i've ever seen that day.

Kobe Harborland. It was very dreamy, especially when it's night because the tree literally light up since it's nearly Christmas anyway.

20/12
So long Osaka, now it's time to go to Tokyo by Shinkansen. Before the train was about to arrive, there's nothing better to buy some food which is very neatly packed. The view just couldn't get anymore prettier, how fast the train is? just like a time-lapse. Which made it hard to take a shot of the view but i did got some.

Arrived at Tokyo in the evening.

21/12
We got up pretty late since it was so tiring. Spent the afternoon in Chinatown and walked across to Yamashita Park. It was so breathtaking because of the weather, the seagulls and the ship. The park was full with roses and pretty trees which leaves has fallen.

22/12
Gala-Yuzawa, or should I say Narnia. We arrived early since it's not that cold because the sun was pretty bright at noon.

The moment I love the most was when I saw my little brother's happiness when they literally see the snow because it's their firt time. We played sliding down by the sled. I felt so happy and without realizing how thick my jacket were, I took them off for a while because I was sweating. My family and I went inside since it's starting to get more cold than before. Everything went really numb especially my leg because there's a snow in my boots (i fell). Later on, after we took a break in the foodcourt, I couldn't help myself to come out because the view went so unreal, the light of the sunset was in the top of the mountains filled with snow. It's not everyday you saw a view like this. It was like magic.

23/12

We went cruising to Hanoke Lake, and the weather was so breezy, my fam and I went to the third floor of the ship, while some people just sat on the indoor, I can't really handle the cold but it would be a shame to not look up to the view from above. 

When we arrive, we took this long journey through the trains and walked pretty far to have soba (thin noodles) for dinner.

24/12 

GINZA BOUND! The city's legit full of temptation. I'm talking about SALE here. I hate the fct when there's so many clothes to buy and in the end you can't choose. Every building put all the lights and all the huge christms tree. It was so merry and extra. I went to the last floor in one of the mall accompanied by my dad. There's this fancy cafe, or a brunch place I think and the view was so pretty, it's like you can see the whole landscape and all of the people that cross the road looked like ants.

25/12

DisneySea! Because the first time we went here, we entered Disneyland instead. Honestly, DisneySea it's not what i thought it would be, I didn't thought there would be Aladdin, Indiana Jones, Mysterious Island, etc. I thought it would be all about The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo, but there's also American Waterfront, Port Discovery, and Lost River Delta.

Shibuya. The famous cross of course, with the Hachiko statue in front of the train station. 

27/12

Time's up. And the last ten days has been so adventurous and tiring at the same time and 5 hours of sleep everyday, with a cold weather that my body felt numb and my legs are dying because of the long walks. Woke up at 4 am, no need no shower. Then we rode a taxi to this hotel where there's a bus that's heading to the airport. I'm just not ready to go through new days without a milk tea from the vending machine and tuna onigiri because i legit ate that everyday here. I'll miss the warm takoyaki, the train station and the cold weather. Everything i guess. I don't know why i feel this way, but for me, missing a place happens to be sadder than missing a person. 

Arrived at Jakarta in the evening. Slept for so long, as i remembered i woke up at 12 pm the next day, then unpack. Celebrating New Years by having steaks and lots of other food for supper with my family. Thankful.
