Trip Day 4: Shinjuku, Akihabara & Ginza (March 23rd)

Wooohoooo!!! xDDD
I finally decided on updating about the trip we did last March to Tokyo.
People tell me I should be happy I was there, but I can't help feeling sad about the fact I was only a week and everything went SO fast and it left this bitter-sweet flavour in my mouth; and everytime I go through the photos I cry.

My husband used to tell me: "What if you go and it disappoints you? What if it doesn't fulfil your expectation?" Now I can clearly answer that it was even more awesome than I ever thought, I was never this happy in my life!


We had to go to Shinjuku first because we had to change money at the bank, aaaaand I wanted to go to Closet Child to see if I could convince my husband to buy me some clothes.., because at this point my suitcase was still missing.. ;_;




First we went to the Golden Gai, one of the most awesome places at Shinjuku, for me, at least. Of course everything was closed, since they open at night, so my husband and I decided we wanted to go there at night another day..





As you can see, the place is all cluttered and full of little places where no more than 6 people can sit..
Many of these mini-restaurants are run by artists such as the Kokusyoku Sumire cafe. I'm not a fan of them, so I didn't actually want to go, but it would've been really funny to be served by them.. xDD


Our next stop was the Hanazono Shrine, which of course.., and to follow the tradition in this trip, was being remodelled.. xDD





I've always wanted to ring those bells and be granted a wish, and since there was something I REALLY wanted, I asked for it!
I think you can guess what I asked.. ;DD





Then we decided to fight for the BURANDO..




Of course I was the winner, I was REALLY motivated..
(you can see me wearing the same clothes I wore the first 2 days.. ;_;)



As you can see, you can't smoke on the street, except for the "vicious" or
"cancerigenous" point, which we frequented thanks to Tamar and my husband.. xPP




Some cool buildings..




Here waiting for Maka and I, we went to the bank.., remember Maka? xDDD






At this point, we had already been to Closet Child, where I bought some clothes and accessories; Donki, where I bought my Rilakkuma kigurumi and also eaten delicious ramen at the place where I change clothes.
Also, by the time I had fought with my husband because I wanted to buy a kigu for Luc, and because I was SO SELFISH to buy me clothes when I had nothing else to wear.. =_=


Then we headed to Akihabara, where I would've kill to go years ago and where I felt so embarrassed for everyone there.., too freaky for my taste..
Buuuuut there were many cool stores!





This is NOT FREAKISM! This is LOVE, pure love for EVA-01 and Ayanami.. ♥




Aa! Megamisama giant figures.., they were SO cheap and perfect for anyone's dinning room.. xDD




Tamar can't take anything serious.. xDDD




After Tamar buying all the dolls she had to buy.., (ahh, no.., sorry.., two days later she bought some more.. xDD) we decided to buy a camera.
Ahhh, the sellers drove me crazy with their 'crossed arms sign' telling me that I shouldn't buy certain cameras, a guy told I shouldn't buy Lumix (the one I wanted), to pick Sony, then another one told me "SONY NO!!!"
After going crazy thanks to these guys, we bought an Exilim. The thing was that not all had the menu in English.. XDD


Ginza was the next stop, because we wanted to go to the Vampire Cafe.
It started raining when we got out from the metro at Ginza st.




We were going to visit the Sony Building before going to the cafe.., but it was closing, so no Sony Building.. XDD
Just these cute dogs which I don't remember their names right now.., at their entrance.




Ginza is a hot, sexy, expensive and fashionable district..







Then we finally found our way to the Vampire Cafe..!




Rose petals, coffins, candles, darkness, call bells, velvet curtains, a laughing skull, maids and Rigoberto the Vampire.. xDDD
Rigoberto was our host, al geared-up in his 800000 yen cape from Moitie and vampire make-up, but English impared.. xDD




Everything was black and red and with the vampire-themed.
The dish was SO pretty, but it lacked of sugar.., it was a bit tasteless, actually.. xDD





Aaaaaaaand, the group shot!
And this time is the whole group for some people's delight.. they guy at the back is not Rigoberto de vampire.., is actually my husband!!
But, SHHHHH, don't tell him I uploaded a photo of him on the net, he'd kill me! xDDD



It was funny, because we asked Rigoberto to take the photo, and after taking it he went straight to write something at the cash register, so we thought we had to pay a plus for it.. O_O
I don't know if we had to.., but we paid more indeed because it was Wednesday.., and only Rigoberto knows why on Wednesday you have to pay a plus there.. xDDD


Back to the hotel at Ginza st. I took this photo, but I already showed it some time ago..




Once at the hotel I was expecting some notice about my suitcase, but there was nothing, and no phone calls either.. I was starting to panic!!!
