I'd been to Disneyland when I was young and I still remember the ride and the event they got in Disneyland. As I can recall (thanks to dad who loves to take photographs when I was young), there were not much differences between the Disneyland in US (at that time of course) and here in Tokyo except that it was translated in Japanese. Can you imagine the stories, the songs.. everything was in Japanese. It sounds funny cause I don't understand Japanese. Hihiks. Late afternoon the rain poured heavily and my mood went down with the pouring rain cause it meant that there will be no parade. And that day was supposed to be a special parade for Halloween. Huhuhu..

2030

We decided to go to our hotel in Kawasaki. Before we headed back to our hotel, We bought some souvenirs from the World Bazaar and Bon Voyage, Disneyland souvenir shop.

Expensive... yet memorable~

2118

We took a train from Maihama station to Tokyo station, then another train to Kawasaki station.

2205

Arrived at Kawasaki Station. From the map, it took around 15 minutes walk to our hotel. We stopped at Mc Donalds to get our dinner before we continued walking to our hotel.

Checked-in to our hotel room and got ready for an early nap.

Nite..nite~

Sunday Oct 28

0840

Checked-out from our hotel room and headed to Kawasaki Station.

0908

We planned to go to La Fete Tama Outlet at Minami Osawa. So we took a train from Kawasaki Station and changed from JR Line to Keio Line at Sagamihara Station. Then we took a train straight to Minami Osawa Station.

1013

Arrived at Minami Osawa Station and it took less than a minute walk to La Fete Tama Outlet. La Fete Tama Outlet was bigger than Tosu Premium Outlet and I just love it. We went from shop to shop until it's time to head to another place.

Shopping time~.... La Fete Tama Outlet

Okie.. next~

1239

Enough of shopping at the outlet. It was time to have lunch. We were going to have lunch at Mahathir's Restaurant in Tokyo. So from Minami Osawa Station we went straight to Shinjuku Station and took another train to Nisyi-Shinjyuku Station.

1348

It took about few minutes walk to the restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed and will open at 1730. We were frustrated because we've went through the website and it stated there that the restaurant opens daily. Huhuhu.. We took a train back to Shinjuku to have our lunch cause Shahril had been to a Pakistani restaurant there.

The Malaysian Restaurant was closed~ huhuhu

1356

Arrived Shinjuku Station. We searched the Pakistani restaurant called Karachi Restaurant in Shinjuku where they serve in buffet. So with some guide from Shahril's friend (Shahril made a call for a guide to the restaurant) and the shopkeeper, we arrived at the restaurant. We had our lunch and took a walk along Shinjuku city.

Somewhere in Shinjuku

1509

From Shinjuku Station, We took a train to Shibuya Station. Shibuya is well known as one of the busiest city in the world. Just check out the zebra crossing. Yeah.. Everybody knew this, there's a scene in Tokyo Drift movie was filmed here in Shibuya. We took a walk for a while. There were like thousand of people, mostly youngsters here. I thought it was a great place to shop. We don't spend much time there cause we need to move to another place before we catch our flight back home.

Shibuya~ I luv this place!!

1617

Hopped on a train from Shibuya Station to Hamamatsu-Cho Station.

1645

From the station, we walked for around 20 minutes to Tokyo Tower. It was getting dark and we took few pictures before we left to the airport.
