Disney Land Tokyo

Eam and Charlie have an annual pass for Disney Land and Disney Sea
Tokyo so wec decided to go to Disney Land fir the day. At first I
want too sure and maybe thought it it might have been a wasted day.
But I was so so wrong. It was on of the most fun things since
arriving in japan!

Arriveing a little early I sat at the gates amazed by how many
japanese girls LOVE Disney or maybe it's just all girls?

After getting 10 mins perv time Eam and Charlie arrived and we grabbed
some early munch as it was expensive inside the park. We hardly spent
any time queueing and once inside the park I saw the castle and was
just like wow (this is my first ever Disney trip'

The first ride we went on was called 'star tours' basically a simulator
going from a large ship into space the having a space battle. At one
point we faced star wars 'H' fighters (I think I'm not that into stat
wars) we dropped down and did the trench run from the 1st StarWars film.

After that I was forced somewhat into getting a dumb Disney hat, only
to have some Japanese girls some up to me say hello in English and go
'kawaii' (cute). This changed my mind about just how dumb the hat is
haha.

The best ride of the park was called 'thunder mountain' it was quit
tame for a roller coaster but it was built around themed walls so you
passed inside caves and outside around large rocks it was really cool!

Entrance






This reminded me of Up so much


This was layed on a bench before we went on a go-kart style race track








Funny shadows




















Me, Eam and Chalie lovin the Disney Land :)


T-Cups the harshest ride, if you know how to spin those bad boys


some random girl i snipered (hip shot) with my camera, clearly loving the that tho

puppet animatronics show we saw which had a slice of every culture in the world (its a small world) this was Japan's


after a short discussion we came to the conclusion this sign meant 'NO RAVING'


sweets from 'sweets delight' pay £10 for all you can eat buffet!




My master piece wooot, best looking sweet in the place!




The fashion here is really crazy, i could rant a lot about Tokyo fashion but ill leave it for another time but basicly in England a women might be only wear this kind of cloths on a 'night out' or to 'pull' but here this is everyday cloths and you see so many people wearing such short trousers / skits but ill leave this for another time.


did i say all you an eat for £10???... inc sweets O.o (i ate 2 plates of curry and chips, 1 plate of spag and curry 2 plates of sweets and 2 bowls of ice cream + some jelly beans, ohhh boy was it a mission, lasted 80mins then ur time runs out and you have to leave, if you think thats alot you need to see Eam eat, he has serious talent, and hes so f-ing skinny i dont get it!)

Ueno Zoo + Odiba

After such a busy day, the day before we decided to have a rest in the morning and go to the zoo, in the afternoon. The sun was shining but the day was a little cold with the wind. Once we arrived we relized how busy it was.

The park was crowded with people, not like the weekday when i 1st visited. One advantage of this thought was people had set out food and drink stalls around the park, and to the south of the park fresh food made on flat grills.

After being in the zoo for an hour we soon reliesed we were going to run out of time, and that really we should have planned a full day to see the animals. We quickly rushed around to get a feel for the place and decided to visit again on a weekday for a full day. We managed to see the best animals on the visit. Tigers, Lions, gorillas and frog were my favs :)

This video is so funny, of the gorila's playing

eam and charlie give the bronze gorila some lovin








oww i loved the polar bears so much


i laughed so much at this, it reminded me of a game called 'portal' im so going to photoshop the portal onto this when i have time haha!












The giant was seriously impressive! really my photograph doesn't give it any justice in its size


humm you can tell i have practiced shooting frogs before ;)


a little street shot


Those homeless people were here again, thought this time it was the same man and a women. They were so friendly i just thought fuck it and decided to shoot anyway, they were totaly cool with it. The man even laughed and told me the cats were hungry.





view of the stalls as sun was setting


This guy was cooking octopus balls, they smelt really nice but ¥500 seamed a little steep compared to the ¥90 at the sushi place. I took this without him even noticing, then some some tourist women stuck a huge SLR in his face, he was angry and shouted 'no photo'. Some people just don't even have the decency to try be subtle about it and i bet her frame sucked anyway.


This woman caught me tho, shooting from the hip, she still knew what i was up too. Thing was she gave me such a nice smile, i guess its just how you go about taking the photo. If you don't stick it right in their face they are ok with it. She was selling hotdogs on a stick, these also smelt realy dam good!


... but in the end we settled for noodles


this dog was so cute, tied up being the stalls its owner game out to give it some attention which it clearly loved!






wild cats are a pest in Japan this sign shows that the cats are common along with the birds in the parks






After Ueno we decided to go to Odiba just for a look around, it was pitch black, Eam stumbled into something, a uni-cycle!




the monorail which took us off from the main-land was driven from the rear, so i got to sit right at the front of the train, it was really dark and the rocking train made it impossiable to take a decent shot, but i got this crazy frame
