イチゴ狩り - Strawberries-Picking Fun!

Hiiiiiii! *geeky wave*

Just when I thought Spring is approaching and I can finally rejoice in the nice springtime weather....

  IT'S GONNA SNOW IN TOKYO!  

I hate the cold but I'm also excited about it!

In this happy post, you will hear all about my イチゴ狩り (Ichigo-gari - Strawberries-picking) experience!

It's STRAWBERRY SEASON! Last Saturday, me and my girlfriends S and J traveled all the way to Kanagawa prefecture for a taste of sweet Japanese strawberries! 

Rilakkuma is ready to go for イチゴ狩り too! 

1,500yen for 30 minutes of unlimited strawberries! 

At Tsuikuhama farm, 3 hours away from where we stay in Tokyo. Tiring journey! 

Our German friend S was down with influenza lately and we thought we had to cancel the trip. But fortunately she recovered in time and was ready to be out and about for some fresh Kanagawa air!  Weather was great! 

J, a very sweet Korean girl! 

Strawberries were planted in glasshouses like this and it was super warm inside! Like 30°C!

My heart-shaped strawberry and condensed milk! 

A little piece of heaven. 

Rows...

Japan Travels Special - Osaka Universal Studio Part II (Super Image Heavy)

Hi! I spent a great weekend bonding with my new friends here in Tokyo. It's so awesome that I get to meet people from all over the world!!!  Gonna treasure the time I have with them, before we all head back to our own countries. 

Here is part 2 of our day at Osaka Universal Studios back in December! Enjoy the pic spam!

Fancy Hello Kitty X'mas tree. 

Hello Kitty with bottom lashes. Hahaha. 

I had an impulse to buy this cute tissue box cover! It's so cute! Elmo and Cookie Monster snowmans/snowmen! But the white will turn yellowish very easily, so I decided against it. 

Spiderman cup noodles I regret not buying. 

I really LOL-ed when I saw these. Imagine the look on your friend's face when he receives this from you. 

Caught the last part of a parade. 

Who's that!?

Just your friendly neighbourhood Spidey! 

Spidefingers to help you relax. 

A magical light display. 

Angels and fireworks! 

Almost time for the evening parade! We quickly scrambled to find a good spot to catch it! The Mister even climbed onto a window ledge to video the whole thing! 

Magical Starlight Parade

The performers are dressed in elaborate dazzling costumes. 

Shiny dancing flowers. 

Wouldn't kids get freaked out by this big headless corpse? Oh, it's just Cinderella's gown in the making. 

Cinderella and her shiny prince.
