1st location: Harajuku Street
We went to Takeshita Street with a great desire to shop! It was a weekday, but the crowd never died down. I got to taste fruit crepes for brunch. After a not-so-quick survey, all three of us bought ourselves several outfits. We also made a purikura strip! The best part of the day was that I managed to discover the Bossa Nova jewelry store! I couldn’t contain my excitement seeing that I was in the exact shop where Jaejoong-oppa was a few months prior, crouching down at the exact same shelves, and touched the necklace with the same exact design as his. Yehhh, I know my fangirling side is showing right now, but just bear with me for a while! ~(^__^)~
Again, we took pictures in the middle of the busy main street. This time, the shots came out prettier than our 1st visit. I also discovered the statue of Hachiko, a loyal dog with a great story, in front of the Shibuya Station. Even after the death of its owner, Hachiko waited patiently for Prof Ueno to return home from work for 10 years, before it met its own death. Sob sob…
When we arrived at the stadium, people were swarming out after a big baseball game. I regretted that I didn’t get to go to any Japanese baseball game; the ticket was very expensive! In front of the arena, I felt melancholic to realize that tomorrow would be the last day in Japan, and that I didn’t get to attend JYJ’s concert at that very stadium in June. While I was ‘pouring my heart out’ in a video recording, a drunken old man approached us, offering us money, and asked for a ‘night service’. What the heck!?? Quickly, we ran away from the spot and took a detour around the stadium, in case he stalked us down. Seriously, ojiisan??

It was our final day in Japan. I shed some tears during the train journey to the Narita airport; I didn’t want to leave Japan, not yet. I have yet so many places to see, exotic food to eat, so much more!! I hope I can come again for another awesome travel experience, insha-Allah.
Thank you Allah, thank you Japan, thank you for everything. We almost missed our flight due to a long line, but we managed to board with help of a very considerate ANA staff, Alhamdulillah. We safely arrived in Rochester exactly 14hours later. This whole trip will remain as a priceless experience in my lifetime.
