Hmm so yeah on the 2nd day of the “2008春~東日本の旅!”trip, we stayed at this onsen hotel somewhere in aomori ken (青森県). It took ages to get there! We got off at Mizawa (三沢) JR station and looked completely confused so this bus driver helped us out. We got on the bus and went to this onsen hotel and the receptionist there told us that we were not at the hotel we booked, but one of the same company and someone will drive us to our hotel really soon. People are so nice there it’s unbelievable
The ride was a whole hour long, but the scenery was beautiful…even in the rain.
The hotel itself was amazing. It’s in those country parks, protected by the government.

The huge chimney inside. It’s so pretty!
Propose Daisakusen (プロポズ大作戦) SP advertising kept airing so I took a photo of Yamapi on terebi
*geek*
Was waiting for dinner so I started watching Chibi Maruko Chan. This used to be one of my favorite animes when I was a kid.
We had beef for dinner (as well as a lot of other stuff). I almost died from eating so much 
Dessert was ice-cream in an aomori apple
When we got back to our room, the hotel staff had already got all the futons set up.
I had an awesome breakfast.
We then went back to Tokyo, so I went to shop around in Harajuku (原宿), Shibuya (渋谷) and Shinjuku (新宿). Amazingly I didn’t visit the Johnny’s Shop this time. Well, it wasn’t really because I didn’t want to, but it was because I couldn’t get in before the shop closed (there were still people queuing to get in at 6.45pm and the shop closed at 7.00pm so they had to shut-off the queue. *sigh* /poof I had a good time shopping anyway.

I GOT A NEW BAG! (finally) 
My brother complained that it looks like a copy of a Chanel bag, but whatever.
On our second last day, we went to Utsunomiya (宇都宮).

Via Shinkansen (新幹線) as usual.
That place was supposedly famous for their gyouza (餃子) so that’s what we ate.


As you can see, we ate all types of gyouza
I then went back to Tokyo (東京) with my dad whilst my mom and my brother continued up north (to Fukushima [福島]or something) to do some more random Shinkansen-ing. My dad had to meet up with one of his clients whilst I went to stalk Airi. We went to talked talked talked and talked.

And purikura-ed of course.
AIRI IS THE QUEEN OF UFO CATCHER!!!! She got me this Rilakkuma thing at one go ;-;
SANKYUU AIRIII~~~
So at 9.00pm-ish my parents were still in Yokohama whilst I wandered the streets of Shinjuku alone (lol). Airi wouldn’t leave because she didn’t want me wandering around near Kabuki-cho [歌舞伎町] (ROFL). But anyway, after Airi left, I went to Matsumoto-kiyoushi to buy some cheap DHC stuff (that pharamacy is seriously one of my favorite shops in Japan) before going back to the hotel.
So that was the end of my trip.
One of the best things I got from this trip was…

My KAT-TUN calendar
I kept saying that I’d get the official calendar year after year so I actually got it this year
以上です!ジャ~ね~~~
