Travel Loots - Japan (April 2019)

I AM BACK (just hours after arriving back in SG) from my trip to Japan and what better day than now to consolidate my loots before I return to the reality of my 'rat' life. 💖 #life

Skincare Products

I was really looking into skincare products this trip, especially the sheet masks. I love how they have these big bag of masks that contains 10~50 sheets of masks → great for personal use & cost savings. 

Fiona did so much research into what was good & 1 tip she gave was to look out for the "Cosme #1" products. So that along with some recommendations from le friends, I picked up some products to try out. 

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen

Kobayashi Senacure Spray (for backacne) - quite a random pick up but why not

Facial Sheet Masks:

(Top Left to Right)

• Kose Japan Clear Turn Face Masks
• Daiso Mask (to be used on top of a sheet mask to hold it in place)
• Lululun Pink Face Masks

(Bottom Left to Right)

• Kose Japan Clear Turn Eye Masks
• Keana Rice Masks
• Kose Japan Clear Turn Essence Collagen Face Masks

Rohto Lycee Eye Drops - heard that this is highly raved...

Dr Scholl Deep Moisturising Cream (heels) - another random pick up

Makeup Products

My Lash Mascara 

OPERA Lip Tint (02 Pink)

General Care Products

Kao Megurizumu Gentle Eye Steam Mask

Kao Megurizumu Goodnight Steam Patch (back of the neck)

Dr. Scholl's Compression Socks

Music CDs

Others

Food Items

Didn't have much time at the airport to browse so... Kit Kat Galore:

Nissin Cereal! 

Something for the office (*eye rolls*):

Something for le family:

Gummies for me:

& the snacks that were meant to be eaten during the trip but never did:

I think that was all I got this round. Was pretty sure my baggage would be heavy since there were many liquid products (esp the face masks) but we were all far from exceeding the baggage weight limits. 🙌

Time for me to find a place for all these things (but first, its time to get some beauty sleep from all that travelling the past week 😴).

12 November 2018 (Tokyo)

My last full day in Tokyo, off to the happiest place on Earth... 💖

The epicness of this. We were literally nearing the end of the queue when they announced that they were closing the ride (temporarily) for some maintenance work. Thankfully, we were given a pass that would give us priority when the ride comes back up. 😅

There is an on-the-spot lucky draw area where you could ballot for show tickets and instantly know if you got it or not. I didn't have luck for my entry but Jole did. 🙌

On the day we went, there was a couple holding their wedding at DisneySEA... so cute, being sailed on the boat in their wedding tux and dress while the crowds cheered on for them.

Dinner @ Ichiran Ramen
Map: Japan, 〒111-0032 Tokyo, Taito City, Asakusa, 1 Chome−1−１６ HK浅草ビル B1F

In our initial planning stages for the trip, I was told that Ichiran Ramen has these solo dining booths where diners don't have to interact with service staff and the ramen gets served through the separators between the chef and the diner. 

Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience that. The Ichiran Ramen we went to had proper dining tables and chairs, and they even sold the packet ramen at a corner! 

13 November 2018 (Homebound)

& It was time for me to go home. Jole sent me off to the lift of the subway station (before she continued on her solo journey in Tokyo for an additional 3-4 days) and I was trying really hard not to tear because that would be so embarrassing. 😂 (I dont even know why I do that because I'm going to see them in SG anyway, LOL)

Asakusa Station is really convenient, especially if you're flying out of Narita Airport. As long as you get the station right and the lift exit correct, the journey to the airport is pretty much a breeze (with the luggage). 

It was a bad decision to eat Phad Thai when I'm in Japan. Why did I even do that. 

And this wraps up my trip to Japan after a 5-years break. Really enjoyed the scenery throughout this trip, along with my friends, I have had a lot of 1st time experiences (such as taking the highway buses, experiencing the public bath/onsen, solo-travelling in Tokyo, etc).

It's quite crazy because its been about 5 months since all of these happened (writing this last few posts on the day that I need to be at the airport for my Nagoya Trip, LOL) and till date I still look at all these photos I took and marvel at the sights of Central Japan.

Definitely places that I would want to revisit or bring my family.
