Memory Palace

Well I have a fail memory. I don't even remember what happened on Tuesday... i think it was Tuesday hahaa
So... i est going to document my travels so far. this is going to be my memory palace. how lame is that.
anyway
tokyo's too hot and humid =[[[[ laaaaame and then theres air con everywhere so my eyes dry up and shrivel up like bloodshot prunes.
moving on.
i landed... and then..... something something something blahblahblahh.... took ages to get from narita airport to tokyo. was lame. stupid traffic jam. cz apparently it was the last day of a holiday so everyone was cming home from their little vacations.
our hotels quite fancy. its like not 'The Best Hotel in Tokyo' but tis still fancy and expensive. tis full of business people. i like it. i can see myself staying in places like this in the future.
ofc rodger is totaly out of place here. lalalaaaaaah
okay so what now....
we havent been out for dinner as of yet. we always cm back and we're too tired and cbf going out so we get like lunch boxes or sushi or whatever and take it back up to our hotel. cz there is apparently no room service. not that we've found it anyway.... hahaaa
there est fancy pancy foods. these people like their italiana nd french foods.
theres this italian restaurant/buffet type thing in the atrium ish area
and there are steakhouses and teppanyaki and pierre gagnaire (sp?) a 3 michelin star chef
my mums like
we are not going to go to pierre gagnaire. idc if hes 3 michelin star. hes french. his food is french. we are not in france.
lame.
there are so many things here which are not jap but i sooooo want to have.
like.. krispy kremes.
haagen daz
this fancy pancy dean and something ice cream which looks reaaaaaly good with stuffs like new york cheesecake and sicilian pistachio and dark roast coffee nomzzzzzz
and godiva
and various clothes shops etc.....
my brother wants to go to a maid cafe.
i dont think he and my mother understood the concept of it when the tour guide explained it yesterday... i think all they got from it was 'they can draw pictures on the top of your coffee. like a bunny.' and 'you can get them to feed you the first bite.'
....
yeah.
anywho
i forgot where i was up to. wow. my brain is totaly dead.
ok tuesday.... we went a couple of places. mt fuji is quite uneventful tbh. i think frm being in nz, im kinda over mountains and hilly type things. bad memories of kahunui. hahaa
umm.... we went to this countryside type area near the bottom of mt fuji ish and they were famous for their grapes. they est good grapes. and they actually taste kinda like... uno in jap grape juices and drinks? yeah. like that. tis awesome.
and their mountain plums.
and.... peaches. we bought a box of peaches. not actualy that many
THINGS ARE SO EXPENSIVE omgg
its seriously like
omg
im broke.
anyway later in the afternoon we went to a traditional bathhouse place.
was awkward + 1000000
and i was so depressed. these like..... older women have better bodies than me.
like im not even kidding.
iw as like
wtf. uve had kids. how can u still look like that.
so yeah.... spent muchos time on the bus.
yesterday... we had a tokyo tour and we had the same tour guide. its annoying because our tours have been asian and im like .... yeah. okay. ur giving me these pamphlets and idk wtf theyre saying. and im kinda falling asleep lisening to you.
yesterday.... sht i forgot already.
no wait.
i can do this.
first we went... to this market type place. was uber uber uber boiling.
was... a market type place. hahaaaa
OMG
in one of the offstreets was this shop and omg it had the AWESOMEST ring ever. seriously. this sterling silver ring and was like this owl and its wings were spread out and omg. it was just awesome. like. godly. but it was 3300 yen which is like... about 60 nzd. and mum wa slike. you only 5g yen to spend in japan. and thats like ... maybe 100 nzd.
and i have muchos things id like to buy...
=[[[[
so i put it back.
but there is always the option of going back.
seriously...
AWESOME ASS RING.
what did we do after that..... i think after that.... was mayhaps lunchtime already?
we drove closer. then we walked to the place and sat on the tatami mats and had our set meals.
i took photos but didnt bring my cord
there was sashimi and tofu and salad and miso soup and the preserved stuff whcih i dont realy like
the place was famous for its crab so there was crab tempura and this crab rice thing.... they seem to like their stone bowls.
there was also some kind of orange sherbet ice cream which i wasnt sure if i liked or not....
oh. one interesting thing.
theres a total contrast between the toilets in japan. all the decent/nice places have like the built in bidet etc and this foam sht and they have the spray to wipe the toilet with
and the less decent places have the ground hole thing. tis gross. tis a glorified longdrop. tis a disgrace i am telling you.
ok moving on.
OH and yesterday we also went to the imperial palace or whatever. see this si the problem of asian tour. i have no idea wtf these places are called in englisha nd i forget the chinese because honestly idc and cbf. its all the same to me.
hmm... then after lunch lol we went for a boat ride like seeing the bridges but it was too hot and we didnt actualy look at any of the bridges
thennnn we went to the place i think its called palette world or some sht like that
the place with the ferris wheel and muchos things....
it wasnt uber exciting because we only had about an hour and we spent most of that time in the car exhibition place because of lame brother wanting to go on all the lame ride type things.
THERE ARE AWESOME PET STORE OMG
so many cute things.
they had doggie strollers hahaaaa
oh woops. i forgot. before we went to the palette world or whatever we went to the tokyo tower. towers arent that exciting to me.
1. im not particularly fond of heights especially when ur mother forces you to stand and bend down on the glass floor place.
2. it's a tower.
hm...
so yeaaah......
not much to say really....
we dont have anything during the day today so we're gna shop. but i probably wont end up doing much shopping because of their desire to see the randomest lame things (i hope to god that we dont end up going to a maid cafe)
tonight we have a night tour type thing. and we're going to dinner.... hm....
i am dreading going back to nz.
the day after i cm back im gna have my first day of work.
apparently it is incredibly hard work.
which is lame.
and the pay is absolute shit.
and omg they want me to work both weekend days every week. im like. wtf fuck off.
i dont want to go at all. tis lame. but i will have to try. if i break enough plates, they'll have to fire me right.

Tata,
