Japan several days in..
Feb. 13th, 2010 02:53 amI've now been in Japan several days though it doesn't quite feel like that because I've been going to bed at 8 pm lol
Some fast thoughts for those curious...
Tokyo is WAY colder than when I was here in February 2008. I keep wanting to just spend the day sitting in the onsen at the hotel. It makes me really look forward to Hakone and Takayama where I might just spend a good portion of my day soaking in an onsen.
What have I bought the most of so far this trip? If you answered tea you would be right. I've now hit up Muji, Karel Capek and Lupicia. I think everyone I know is now doomed to get tea as a gift. The Muji tea is for my own consumption though they of course had tons of V-day LEs.
Speaking of V-day most awesome free chocolate samples ever. ♥
Have I mentioned I am freezing cold? Yes, I know I will not get sympathy from most people I know as it is worse where they are. I seriously need to discover how to turn on the heat in my room. The first night I was boiling but since then I've been so cold!
My hotel has a really nice little onsen set up. There is a tiny outdoors ones, a bigger indoors one, and a sauna. HAPPINESS!
One nice thing about not having a rail pass is it makes me more likely to use the subway.
I can now spend only 1 hour looking at doujinshi at say K-books and make it through everything I really want to go through.
Current Pocky LEs appear to be pocky coated in various bits of cookie and such. PLMK if anyone wants any. Kit kats are for now are raspberry and passionfruit (though soon disappearing) and soda is chocolate!
twotone does English Lupicia offer all the seasonal LEs Japan Lupicia does? The new green tea strawberry LE smells divine!
