july 4

Today is universal studios. We leave at about 945a. and ask for directions. They said we should have taken chuo line and switch switch switch. But we thought it would be better to take the jr line. We walk 15 minutes to morinomiya station. B whined that it was too long of a walk. He said tomorrow I’ll meet you there then he kept trying to say stuff about how long we walked. And I said “please don’t do that all day. I know it was a long walk. Not much I can do about it.” We rode the jr line all the way and switched at nikushika? For universal city. We get there and buy our tickets 5800yen. Wow! There is a whole mall before you go to usj. It was more than Disney land.

We went to spiderman first. We wanted to do the ones we wanted to do the most. It was cool. Then we waited in line 60min to ride back to the future. We were going to buy the fast pass but that was 2200 more yen. Then we went on the T2 ride. It was 3d and live. It was cool. Then we went for jaws and it was closed. But they had the jaws replica you could take your picture with but they took the picture. Then we went to the wizard of oz and everything was nearly closed except the gift shop and the merry go round. we went on the Jurassic park ride and you got wet at the end which was nice. We split up so I could ride the roller coaster and he could ride backdraft. It was so cool. You had to put your bags in a locker and rubber band your shoes if they were sandles. It was awesome. It dropped you straight down and had music blasting. Fun! Then we met up and they had some weird parade. Usj was not as fun as Disney.

We left and found a gachapon center and an Osaka store. Random food inside. We found a giant takoyaki and I took my picture with it. Takoyaki is octopus inside a breaded outside. Tasty. Then we went to tenjimsaibashisunji. The longest shopping st in japn. 2.6 km. I found some socks to wear with my zouri. I found some cute purses and I probably should’ve bought it. I know which fan I want. It’s going to be expensive for a fan and it’s in Kyoto. I tried on some zouri that were white with pink straps. I didn’t really like it. It does match the best though. We make it back homeafter a while we couldn’t figure out the ticket machine. Then we called mika or rather b did. He said it was really awkward. Funny! I check my email and chinatsu said that nakashima sense didn’t introduce toon to anyone in her lab and that no one will take care of her. She said that she cried and that really messed up. So matsuyama sensei and chinatsu cheered her up. That was of nice of them. Chinastsu made plans to go shopping with her. Time for sleep.
