Nostalgia #4: Japan -March 2010-

Lately I've been feeling under the weather, it's been raining a lot around here and since it's not common for this region, it's even worse since I can't do the things I normally do comfortably. Really, the weather is totally playing with my mood and health! 

I so much hope spring arrives so we can have at least 2 days of sun in a row! And I realize that when summer comes I'll be hoping for the opposite, but the truth is weather here is SO extreme that is pretty hard to endure.

Apart from that I've been noticing so many people is travelling to Japan these days that I can't stop thinking of the week I spent 3 years ago. And exactly 3 years ago I was preparing to depart from Tokyo, and I remember it was such a sad day. In the plane back I watched two movies that weren't even sad but kept crying so much because I was leaving Tokyo.

So here are some photos from the day my friends and I visited Sanrio Puroland, home of Hello Kitty and all Sanrio characters, we had such a great time! Sadly I didn't take my camera so I couldn't take any photo, so these are some Maka and Eva took.

I also wanted to apologize since I wasn't really up to date with all the blogs I follow and always comment, I'm really sorry and I'm working on that!
And thanks so much for being there, it means the world to me! Thank you!  ❤

Últimamente no me he sentido demasiado bien, ha estado lloviendo mucho por aquí, algo poco común para la región en la que vivo, así que me cuesta hacer todo porque me siento incómoda. En serio, el clima está jugando con mi humor y mi salud!

Tengo tantas ganas de que llegue la primavera y así poder tener al menos 2 días seguidos de sol! Y me doy cuenta que cuando llegue el verano voy a estar deseando lo contrario, pero la verdad es que aquí el clima es MUY extremo y es difícil de soportar.

Por otra parte he notado que mucha gente está viajando más y más a Japón, y no puedo parar de pensar en la semana que pasé allí 3 años atrás. Y hace exáctamente 3 años estaba preparándome para irme de Tokyo, y recuerdo que fue un día super triste. En el avión de vuelta ví dos películas que ni eran tristes, pero yo no podía dejar de llorar a mares por dejar Tokyo atrás.

Así que aquí les dejo algunas fotos del día en que mis amigas y Yo visitamos Sanrio Puroland, hogar de Hello Kitty y todos los personajes de Sanrio, lo pasamos genial! Lamentablemente yo no tenía mi cámara de fotos así que no pude hacer ninguna, estas son algunas de las que tomaron Maka y Eva.

También quería disculparme por no haber estado comentando en todos los blogs que sigo y siempre comento, lo lamento de verdad, prometo que estoy en ello!
Y quiero agradecerles por estar ahí, en serio, me hacen muy feliz! Muchas gracias!  ❤

Trip Day 6: Sanrio Puroland (March 25th)

It's time for posting about the 6th day of the trip.
This day the group split in two separate groups, the girls and the boys.. XDD The girls went to Sanrio Puroland, home of Hello Kitty; and the boys to Ikebukuro, to the Amlux Building (AKA Toyota Building) and shopping.


We had to go to Tama, where Sanrio Puroland is located, which is an hour away from our hotel. It was raining and a little bit cold, but we were going to visit a Sanrio Themed park, so we didn't really care! xDDD
Once in the train, Maka and I decided to camouflage between the Japanese, and fell as sleep since the heat in our legs and the movement were so inviting.. xDDD
A hour later Tamar woke us up and told us we had taken the train in the wrong direction and we had to change; Maka and I were so mad and started whining until I saw we were actually at Tama Station, then Tamar and Eva started laughing at Maka and I.. xDD


Tama is something like Hello Kitty Town, that's why Hello Kitty guides you in all directions.. xDD




It wasn't hard to find the Park, just keep walking straight from the Station..
We were relieved it wasn't on the open air, because the rain would've been a REAL bother..








The place was full of little kids and their parents, it's not that big but it's SO KAWAII!!!! No.., it wasn't cute.., it was totally kawaii.. I think "really" I understood the meaning of kawaii at this place.. xDDDD








When we arrived, there was some kind of show going on, we watched it for a while but it was kind of boring.. xDD So we looked around to find the 'attractions' xDD
First we went for a the 'Boat Ride', something like Disney's "Small World" (which scares me a lot xDD).
One of the girls at the ride so us and said: "Kawaiiiiiiii!!!" Then pointed at Maka's dress and said " Ahh, you are Angelic Pretty.., I am Pretty too!" xDDDD because Maka's dress was an AP and apparently the girl liked AP too! xDDD
Everything there is like a Fairytale.., lovely!!




You can see Tamar and I were really happy and excited..
Eva.., well, Eva not so much! She kept saying everything was too scary for her.. xDDD






There were almost all the characters, but there photos of just a few of them like Cinnamoroll, Muffin, Hello Kitty and family, Kerokerokeroppi & friends, Bad Badtz-Maru & friends, Marron Cream, Kuromi, Little Twin Stars, Pompom Purin & Pochacco.


















Next we went to a 3D attraction called "The Time Machine of Dreams", I'm still trying to figure out why it was called that way..
Here we are waiting at the queue with our 3D glasses.. xDD










Now I want to stop a little to tell you at this point of the day, I've gotten LOTS of phone calls from a Japanese number, but due to all the noise inside the place I never listened until we were at a quite place..
I was so mad because I knew it was from the airport about my suitcase, so I started looking for a bathroom to phone back, the funny thing is that I went inside the men bathroom.. xDDDD
Anyway.., they didn't pick-up because it was lunch time..


Next visit was the Hello Kitty house. Prepare yourself for and intense pic spam of the place.., and be warned.., if you are allergic to colour pink get out of here now while you're still safe! xDDDD




















































Phewwww.., are you still alive?? xDDD
Well, if you survived Hello Kitty house, let's follow with the photo we took with Hello Kitty!! ♥
First we had to wait at the queue, and here we are.. I'm thinking: "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!" xDDDD






And if you thought that was too much for you to handle.., check this out! ¬.¬



Hahahahahaha!! That was so much fun and awesome in so many levels! xDDD
I'm My Melody (I HAD to be, she's my favourite character ever!!), Tamar was Hello Kitty, Maka was one of the Sugar Bunnies and Eva was Cinnamoroll.


The mandatory bathroom shot!




And a few more of the Puro Village before leaving..
The light was horrible there.., well, actually there was almost NO light.., that's why the photos are so dark.. ;_;








When we were going to make a stop at the store before leaving the park, we had the most awesome encounter!!
And as I said before.., My melody is my all time favourite!! So when I saw her I HAD too!!!
It was so funny because I was all happy, jumping around and hugging her!! xDD
And of course.., Kuromi was there too!






And a photo of a mural..




After leaving the park we went to McDonnald's and then to Akihabara because Tamar had to make some more shopping.
And what happens when you say Akihabara..?
Purikura time!!!




When we were on our way to Akihabara I called the airport to see what happened, and the y told me that they had located my suitcase!!
They lost track of it in Rome because apparently, at Madrid airport the girl at the counter never put the Madrid/Barajas - Tokyo/Narita, my suitcase went to Rome and stayed there, once in Rome nobody reclaimed it, so they sent it back to Madrid and they didn't know about it anymore..
Luckily, at this point, it was waiting again at Rome to go to Tokyo arriving on Saturday on time for us to leave next day.. xDDD


Later we went to meet my husband and Luc at Ikebukuro.
He was all mad and grumpy at me, but that's another story I won't tell because it's stupid like his behaviour..
