12 November 2018 (Tokyo)
My last full day in Tokyo, off to the happiest place on Earth... π
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. π
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. π
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

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. π (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.
