JAPAN TRIP (DAY 6 AND 7)
Day 6: Today it rained.
Went to Metropolitan Children's Hall by train to Shibuya, took a long time to find the place. Put the bags in the locker, only ¥10 (will return). We had a fun time at this place:
- there was a music room, I played on the grand piano and see through piano, xylophone, drum set
-made a small paper story book - the story I made was 'a day in the garden'
-made a calendar with my face on it. I decorated the calendar with marker pens .
-played table tennis with papa and mama
-went to the woodcraft room and
made a wooden car
-made a doughnut out of newspapers and cloth- I made a peanut butter doughnut with chocolate with decorations on it.
I missed this place alot.
In the evening, we went to Odaiba district. Took a local train and crossed the rainbow bridge over the sea. It was beautiful. We saw the Tokyo tower.
Drove cars in the Toyota car showroom. I went to play the toyota car game, it was free. When I crashed on the wall , my car shook. I drove anyhow.


After that we went to see the statue of liberty.
Went to public onsen (O-Edo Onsen) - it was a big place. Tried different hot baths, about 40 degrees. One of the baths was cold, at 20 degrees (we did not try). Papa and I also went to one outdoor hot bath. It was raining but it was comfortable soaking in the hot water. We stayed under the shed. We also had our dinner at the building, wearing the yutaka.
We also tried the foot bath. It was too painful for my legs as there were many sharp stones. Meimei was not scared of the stones (maybe her feet are much smaller).

By the time we reached aunty Regina's house, it was midnight.
Day 7: Today, it rained again. I woke up at 10am.
Went with aunty Regina to the fish market (Tsukiji). We saw a lot of fish products

We had sushi and ramen for lunch. The sea urchin was milky, like milk shake. I loved it!. After sushi lunch, we took a subway to the Transportation museum. When we reached there, the uncle told us that the museum had closed from 16 May. I was very very sad.
We went to Tokyo Dome instead. At this amusement park, I played the spinning roller coaster with papa (¥600 per person) - like flying off. We went to Kentucky Fried Chicken and had tea there while meimei slept. It was expensive.
In the evening, we went to Ueno to shop for tidbits to bring back to Singapore. I bought bubble gum, sweets and a bullet train toy. We also bought a lot of fruits like cherries, peach, rock melon.
Had Chinese dinner in a restaurant and then reached home at 9-10pm.
