10 - 12th of August

On Monday, we decided to take it easy since we just got back from a long weekend in Osaka. Boy, who is a big Initial D fan, wanted to go to Mount Haruna badly and since Gunma (the place where Mount Haruna lies), is not far from Tokyo, we decided to go there on Monday. It was a 1 hour trip with the Shinkansen plus 1.5 hour trip with the bus to mt. Haruna. Sadly, we got there very late and didn't got to see the S-way of the Anime, because we arrived there at around 4 pm and the last bus goes at 5 pm. Poor Boy, but he says he might rent a car and go have a drive there.

Tuesday... I woke up at around 5 am with my bed shaking all over. There was an earthquake in Tokyo, a light one though. But the sad news is, today was the day we were supposed to be going to Kyoto. But because of the earthquake, the Shinkansen were all messed up and we had to wait for over an hour for our Shinkansen to arrive. We arrived quite late in Kyoto so it was a short sightseeing at Kiyomizudera and Fushimi Inari Shrine. Too bad, because Kyoto is really a beautiful city.

We were supposed to go to Nikko on Wednesday, but since the Bathing Ape x Sanrio collaboration started today (and ends at the 18th of August), me and Boy decided to go to Isetan in Shinjuku to get in the line for the collection. What we never would have thought was, how loooong we had to wait. We waited 5 hours in total. Really, what's up with the lottery stuff in Japan? When we arrived there at 8 AM, we received a ticket with number 200 and 201. After a 1 hour wait, the line finally moved. But when we got around the corner, we received another ticket. I had 394 and Boy had 159. Since Boy got a lower number, we decided to use his ticket. On the tickets says that we could go in at around 11.30. So we ate something at Lotteria and went back to the line at 10.45. We waited a bit and at 11.30 our number was up. So we got in the correct line and waited for about half an hour before we could get in. When we finally got in the department store, we had to wait at the stairs for about half an hour. After that we were led to the outside of the Baby Milo x Sanrio cabin were we had to wait again. Only 1 person per ticket was allowed, so Boy gave his ticket to me so I could buy mine and his stuff. After a long wait I could finally go in the store, choose the stuff and got back in line again to pay. That took 1 hour once again. Pffff... really my feet were dead tired after this all. But since it was only noon, we decided to go to Harajuku and Akihabara after that. And now.. I'm soooo tired. XDDD
