WHILE MAMA WAS SHOPPING

How she entertained herself the whole time while Mama was busy hunting down Miffy bowls and plates.

THE GOOD LUCK CAT TEMPLE

One of the two temples in Tokyo that I love going again and again and again.

The other one is this.

I'M GOING TO GOBBLE IT ALL UP

The pea was gleeful because she got to eat up totoro (first I will gobble up his ear!).

Must have gotten that sadistic streak from me, oops.

MORE GREEN THAN YELLOW

We were a little early for the leaves (gingkoes are one of my favourite things about Tokyo), but fried chicken burgers and fries under the trees were so good.

Oh and that last photo? A really rare one, because the pea insisted *lol*

OLD SCHOOL AMUSEMENT

The oldest amusement park in Tokyo, running since the 1950s and hands-down the little pea's favourite place this time round. Days later she was still talking about 'going round and round up in the sky' and 'the guinea pig that sat on my lap'.

I was sad to hear from the lady at the counter that they will be closed for the next 3 years for renovations. I really hope they will keep that lovely nostalgic feel about the place and not make everything too shiny new.

LUNCH WITH MOOMIN

We've been reading the Moomin books so I thought I would bring her to this Moomin Cafe I've known since my school days. 

The experience turned out to be a little disappointing. Maybe it was because the pea was under the weather, or the place was rather packed but we both had a quick lunch and went back to the hotel for a nice long nap (told you I took it easy haha).

But the classic Moomin illustrations on the walls were so so beautiful.
