Day 3:
Today we hopped onto e Limited Express train frm Irumashi station. it’s e fastest version n we hadda buy an extra ticket for it. Japan is a truly high-tech nation wif lotsa amazin gadgets. there’s a pedal beside each row of sears in e Ltd Exp train, so that when u step on it, u can rotate e seats n face ur frens on e adjacent row! At Ikebukuro, we changed to e Yamanote line to get to Tokyo station where we boarded e Shinkasen to Shin-Osaka. Ooh yeah… the Bullet train was indeed very fast. altho i had previously imagined it to be as fast as a plane, it wasnt that fast after all lar haha. it prolly travelled at 200-300km/h at it fastest. After 3hrs, we were at shin-osaka n hadda change to e JR line again to reach Universal Studios.
it was indeed very troublesome but waha! we were so happy to reach Universal City, where USJ & e official hotels are. we checked into Universal Port hotel & we ‘kapope’ ALL e cute toiletries AGAIN. wahahaha! then we went to Shinsaibashi, which apparently was a very popular shoppin street in Osaka. we went crazy in this big cosmetic store at Shinsaibashi. I bought like 4 mascaras cos i was so fascinated by e way e Jap girls do their doll-like eye makeup!
Girls in osaka r not as pretty/cute/hot as their tokyo counterparts. not that there aint any pretty girl, but jus tt e proportion is much lower here. Here in osaka, ppl r less frenly n more impolite. they push n rush into trains like singaporean aunties. some shop assts lose e smile on their faces once u appear to be a foreigner, & i dunno why!
The osaka street fashion is also ma-ma desu. but here i saw more tourists than in tokyo, prolly cos more ppl go ard tokyo wif tour groups & go to osaka on their own only when they extend their stay so it’s kinda hard to see them explorin tokyo as much as we do. yay! luckily we’re doin free & easy!
anyway i cannot stop bein fascinated by e toilet bowls i see in japan. in our hotel room e toilet bowl has sensors!!! it raises e cover when it sense someone approachin. oh my god!! i filmed e process down wahahaha! n then there’s a digital display where u can choose more nozzle positions, n e seat covers can also be closed by pressin a magic button. u can also choose to lift one or both covers with those buttons too! it’s so much more amazing than tomikawa-san’s. i’m gettin this for my hse!!!
whoa! i jus realised that e lights have sensors too. walk towards e toilet n e light in front of u will light up. there’s no need for nite lights anymore! cool… we’re gg to Universal studios tmr. damn late now.. sor tired frm all e travellin n shoppin these few days.
