Yokohama.
We went to a city which is about an hour away from Tokyo, and also is where Chantelle used to live. We didn't do much. The train there took us about 90 minutes. Coral started feeling unwell, and Issie was still feeling unwell anyway because of her cold.
So with people not feeling well we didn't actually get up to much. We had a long winding walk to the centre where things were. Along the way, Chantelle spotted her old hangout place and we promptly went in to the shopping centre to have a look around. First on the agenda was Ice cream though. Hoping it would settle Coral's stomach a little.
It was delicious! And needed in the heat. It was by far the hottest and most humid day we have had in Japan. It tried to rain at one point, but it soon went away again.
After we wandered around a few stores. Finding a Snoopy store, Disney store and Hello Kitty store in the same row. Coral and Tom felt a little out of place though, so we head back a bit too where Tom had spotted another pokemon store… What can I say? There are 6 in existence and I think Tom is hunting down every one he can get near too. Opposite was a Shonen Jump shop and also 'Moe' land which was filled with studio Ghilbi merchandise.
I wish I could say I was going to stop going to these places and do more cultural things, but fact is its Coral's birthday tomorrow so we will be going to Animate in Ikebukuro so… Yep :P. I'll try and do some non Anime related stuff soon. I promise.
After we met back up with Issie and Chantelle, we headed out for a walk around the gardens and river. There was some kind of performance going on and we walked for about half hour before heading back to the station. All in all it was a good day and I suspect we will be going back at some point. If nothing else I want to check out the China town.
So night.
