~37~ Minato mirai


Minato mirai 21, Sakuragichou (name of the station) <- the area in Yokohama, One of the most popular date spots, business area,  where you can find some major hotels, pretty huge shopping malls, cinema, museum, amusement park and beautiful landscape.
This is my favourite place in Japan, and I have to take hundred of photos every time I go there.
It's pretty spacious, and it's not so busy like Tokyo.
But never go there alone, especially when you're single, unless you're masochist or have 0 interest in dating anyone.



(with sakuras blooming)





It's really beautiful place, so it's often used as a background in movies/dramas even anime.
Some japanese musician are doing PV or making a videos there.

One of the example is LDK movie. You can see amusement park in the trailer.





Amusemnt park called cosmo world i divided into two parts - actually they're not so far away.>>MAP<<




(it's 'counting' scream level)




In this part there's few roller coasters (with one of the most famous one - roller coaster which disappear inside the water. I found the picture of it inside my school's book~), ferris wheel, game center. And you can win some plushies by playing sports games, what is really fun.






In this part there's a lot of "smaller" attractions. Everything looks so beautiful, like a fairy tail.
There's also few houses like ice house where everything is made from the ice, haunted house etc.
Also 2 houses with game center again. And you can find there old purikura machines! The best purikura ever..(the one you can yourself inside dohnut)






You have to pay for each attraction separetely.
For example ferris wheel costs 800 yen for one person.
But the view i compelety worth it.














Also Minato mirai is a place where pikachu's parade is held! 


It's definietely one of the most beautiful places. The atmosphere there is awesome - it's so calm, no one is really in rush and landscape is beautiful.









(it was tasting like regular chicken crisps but it was so spicy T.T)

~36~

I haven't been writing for such a long time~~!
Thank you so much for your comments and I'm so sorry for not writing at all (;___;)

Well a lot happened in my life. I've been to Japan one more time since april to july. This time I went there completely unprepared, without plan and with amount of money which a lot of people is taking for 2 weeks.
Actually that was the best experience of my life. But I recommend it to people who can actually sleep at the street and have no problem with that (I didn't have to sleep on the street, but if I had no choice I will).
I booked my ticket one week before flight. I didn't have place to sleep, almost no friends sinve I had only my ex. in Japan before. I haven't told my father that I'm going too. 2nd time. Well, my parents should be used to it already... I called him when I was in Japan. Great experience, never do it to your parents, unless you're in Japan and they have 3 months more to calm down.
So.. I grab few of my things (and came back with one more suitcase) and went to Japan. How people call it? YOLO? Well, some people choose bangee. Some are doing big mess with their lifes.

At first I've been staying at my friend's place.. And this is when it starts, that was survival. Ok, I know, I don't like when it's so clean also, but try to image room (AND TOILET, AND BATHROOM) after 3 years of living (just living - no cleaning up).

One of the situations I had:
Shiori: Where's a  toilet brush?
Friend: When I was cleaning up the toilet it didn't became fully clean so I threw it away.

Well.
That toilet was BLACK. It wouldn't become white unless you buy new one.

Ok, another one.
I took chocolate with me and it was gift from my friend so I couldn't eat it and was waiting for the special day.
Special day↓
So, one day I'm opening a fridge, and there's my chocolate. Broke in half. Opened. And one part had bite marks...
I couldn't resist and I asked about it when my friend came home.
There was no bigger reaction like "Oh, that's your chocolate"..
Next day I burned my finger so I opened a freezer and..
There was my chocolate.

(ma.. majidesuka - eng. Re...Really?)

And this is how my first three-months-in-Japan has started~

See you!
