Throughout Rob's 3-week stay, we paid our visits to Chiba, Harajuku, and Shibuya a good number of times. We each had our own individual favorities throughout Tokyo and Chiba. Rob and I would wait on line to get into Mr. Donut to grab our favoritie Honey Glazed and Angel Cream. Yumm! Being the regular at Starbucks in NY, we found our favorite coffee in Japan - Tully's limited edition Tiramisu Latte. Others include a restaurant in Shibuya specialized in gyoza, fresh onigiri, etc.Originally, we wanted to visit Odaiba 2 more times before Rob's departure. We planned our day extremely well. We arrived to Odaiba at 2 pm. We have had our magical days, but this day was "eventful." By the end of the day, we visited every where that is worth going in Odaiba. At last, we declared it to be our last trip to Odaiba this winter.
At Pallette Town, there was a ferris wheel that proclaims to be the most romantic. It was a 15 minute long, 115m high, neon lit ride. The view is not as beautiful as imagined, because it was located further away from the main attractions, such as the Rainbow Bridge. The wait and cost were well worth as we went up and around inside an all-glass car. It was around 11 pm, and the surroundings were packed with couples.
Being sport lovers, we visited the arcade to play table hockey, soccer, and table tennis. We visited Mega Web, the Toyota Showroom. Although Rob has proven to be a better zombie killer at the Jersey Shore, I have proven myself to be a better, faster driver in a real simiulator race car. We spent a considerable amount of time in a Coca Cola Gallery, Universial Design, etc.
The most time was spent in Venus Fort, a vanilla/blue sky themed shopping center. Most of our day was ruined when we got a portrait drawn of us. The artist must have hated me. However, the food there made me happy. With Rob here, it was endless fine dining. One of the many reasons why we are so poor (or at least, temporarily for Rob). We have made an observation that... they are mad cheap on drinks!
