So we've suddenly found ourselves in a new year, 2011 would you believe it. Why is it going so quickly already?! Had a good Christmas/ New year with friends and skype...and am now back in the thick of it with exams/ presentations/ reports. Negative excellent. However, the new series of Shameless IS most excellent. Definitely helps me study. The exposure to the Manc accent improves my Japanese, obviously. Hand in hand, those.
Right. So last Sunday we popped over to Yokohama for the day. It was chilly, but really a beautiful day. Only takes 30 mins to get there from central Tokyo, and it was nice to get some sea air!
But before we ventured to the seafront, we headed into Chinatown for a nose around and for CRISPEH DUCK. Nice.
Note; the street venders sell rather delectable spring rolls, even if they are the greasiest things ever.
So, when we had exhausted Chinatown, we popped to the seafront with a hot choc in hand and had a walk round there. Watched some people ice skate for a bit, then after browsing a shopping mall in converted warehouse, we went to find the BIG WHEEL.
We frolicked in the fun fair until the sun went down, then went inside to crack out some moves on Dance Dance Revolution. We're terrible. So bad. There was a middle aged man there who obviously practices every day and was taking it far too seriously. But he was really quite impressive.
Few more fun fair rides after that, including a Carousel.
Picture time!
