Yokohama Tour
Today I met YYchi at my house at 10am. I'm glad that she found her way to my house ok. She looked around for like 5 minutes. I was wondering if it was worth the 4 bucks for her to get here just to look at my apartment. Anyways, we set out to Yokohama Station from Totsuka station. When we got to Yokohama station, we immediately changed to the Neigishi line to go to Sakuragi-cho station. But we forgot to exchange my Japan Rail Pass to get my reservations and tickets. That was a bummer because now I had more work to do.
We started off looking around the Landmark Tower and shopping around the different shops. We had lunch at a really nice restaurant called Avocado. It overlooked the cosmoworld next door, and the best thing was it was cheap. It was glamour at an affordable price. I had pasta, with a salad, some bread sticks and dessert (blueberry cheesecake) for $10 or 1000 yen. That's a really good deal. We proceeded to go to Queens Square right next door. We stopped by the snoopy store and disney store. We took pictures with the largest leather snoopy in the world. It wasn't that big, but it was cool.
Then we walked over to Yokohama World Porters. We shopped in there for a little while. Then we walked over to the Cosmoworld. There we saw a movie crew filming something. That was pretty cool, although we didn't see any famous people. Then we continuted to walk to Yamashita Park. We looked at all the sister city gifts, and the homeless people. Then we continued into Chinatown where we had dinner. We found this nice little restaurant in the back that had all the dishes at 500 yen. Which really isn't a bad deal. We had what would be $22 dish in the US for $5. It was much smaller though, but what do you expect from a small country? We walked and talked some and then we went to Motomachi street.
From there we split up and she went home from Ishikawa station. And I went to Ofuna station. I walked home, which is about 20 minute walk. She didn't end up getting home until 11:30pm. We started at 10am, so that was a very long day and it was a lot of walking. My feet hurt, but then a good night sleep helped for the next day
