Three day weekend!! ...which was last weekend!

First order of business: Last blog's quiz! And the winner is...
NO ONE.
Nope, no one guessed correctly :(
Now that that's out of the way, let's recap last weekend! As you already know from my last blog, we went to Harajuku on Saturday! Then last Sunday, Emily and I ventured back to Akiba and I bought my fabulous game! ♥ What I didn't mention last week is the amusing store we went to... you can ask me about it in the comments if you dare.
THEN last Monday, I went to Odawara with a friend! Here are some pictures...
Oh wait first of all, we went through my friend's home town and found the high school where SMAP's Nakai-san went! So here's me outside of it:


Ok now for pictures from Odawara! Let's just start with the coolest one:

The castle! We were able to go inside, where there was a museum with various historical artifacts. It was cool, but we weren't allowed to take pictures from the inside. Untill...

We got to the top and were able to go outside again! Damn, I'm too short to see over the gaurd railing...

Another one~

We were pretty high up!

Oh, I forgot! This sign was at the entrance to the castle:

Isn't one of your suppliers called Don-Jon, Dad? Haha...

Outside of the castle, there were other things to see as well:

They had this cage that had some monkeys in it! But urgh, with my zoom and the wire cage, I couldn't get a good picture. Oh well, they weren't that cute anyway.


They had some sort of.. demonstration, it was interesting. Maybe one of you knows what they're doing? Other than riding horses, obviously..

There were loads of people dressed up in costume doing intense looking photo-shoots. I manged to sneak some shots too >:D

And this one:

Intense.

Afterwards, we went for dinner and had Okonomiyaki!!

Okonomiyaki is basically... a (not sweet at all) pancake with whatever you want in it. We had seafood okonomiyaki, which was delicious! And Tokyo-style okonomiyaki, which was delicious too but... kind of tedious to eat. But still good!

みっちゃんありがとう！！すごい楽しかったよ～

It was a really good trip!!
Recently I came down with a cold, and by recent I mean yesterday D: Thus I'm really tired right now and will have to continue this tomorrow! Tomorrow I'll try to recap the following:
My trip to Shibuya and Asakusa on Thursday,
My first meeting with my host family, and
Purchases I've made recently!

Why yes, that was just an excuse to use those little ribbon gifs.

Well goodnight for now!!


PS: Mom, Dad, Grammy, Papa: I am feeling a lot better than I was this morning! Sorry I wasn't very fun to talk to :(
