Japan: Part 2

Ok, so when we came out of the yen store, we ran into a couple who wanted to sell us their tickets for Puroland. We were a little scared, but they seemed nice and said their friend had cancelled on them and the tickets were cheaper, so we went ahead and bought them. The let us in, so everything worked out fine. haha:) Puroland was really cool. We got to see Hello Kitty's house, where we got to get in Hello Kitty's bathtub, sleep in her bed, and actually meet Hello Kitty herself! We had lunch in a food machine restaurant. It was like cafeteria style, but all the food rotates around and you choose what you want. I think I got the Hello Kitty kids meal. It was yummy:)
After Hello Kitty Land, we went to Harajyuku to go shopping and see all the crazy dressed up people. Then we went to Shibuya. We stopped to have dinner, which was...interesting. We tried ordering 8 chicken shish kebabs and edamame. It took them forever to bring our food. They brought the edamame and then they bring us a plate with one kebab. We waited for a while to see if there would be more. Finally, we asked them if there was more. I dont think they had planned on bringing us anything else. They brought us a plate of kebabs made from various chicken parts including heart and liver. yum. haha:) We left the restaurant to explore Shibuya a little more. Most of the shopping was closing. We listened to a band playing out on the street for a while, then got free hugs from the free hug people. They also sang happy birthday to Abby. We like fake birthdays. We barely made it home by midnight, when the subway closes. We made plans for our last day and went to bed.
Sunday, we woke up at 7:30. We got ready and checked out of our hostel. We left our stuff there so we could have more adventures before going to the airport. We went to a temple and did some souvenir shopping in Asakusa. Then we took the subway to Ueno, where we did a little more shopping. We went to eat lunch at one place, but after looking over the menu, we realized we had ended up at a Korean restaurant. We like Korean food and everything, but we wanted Japanese food, so we moved on to another restaurant. The food was much better and faster than our experience the night before, but we still ended up leaving later than planned. We were in a bit of a rush to get to the airport. We had to take the subway back to Asakusa, go to the hostel to pick up our stuff, go back to the subway, and take the hour and 20 minute ride to the airport. My flight left an hour before Abby's and Kristina's. I got there about 30 minutes before my flight was supposed to leave. I missed my flight. I was really scared I was going to be stuck there til the next day. I was supposed to fly back United Airlines and they didn't have any more flights out til the next day. Luckily, I had flown there on a different airline, so I could get another flight an hour after Abby and Kristina's. Several people showed up who were supposed to be on the same plane as me and they weren't able to get a flight til the next day. It wouldn't have been a huge deal I guess since I had Monday off, but I was glad to get that flight. So once again, Abby and Kristina were waiting for me at the airport with an even bigger and better Babo sign;) I felt bad because they both had to work the next day. I told them they didnt have to wait for me, but they're good friends:) We barely made it on the last bus to Bucheon. It didn't take too long since there wasn't much traffic. I got home and fell into bed. I'm so glad I had Monday off to recover!
