Odaiba: Hello Kitty Paradise and Fun!

Hello~

I'm back to continue my post on Odaiba!! 

FYI, Odaiba is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man made island in Tokyo Bay. There's plenty of fun stuffs to do, so be prepared to spend a day there if you planned to visit ^-^!!

We reached Odaiba pretty early and there were hardly anyone on the street, so we decided to stroll around for a bit...

Our first stop is Aqua City!

And right opposite the building...

There's a Statue of Liberty (´∀`)♡!!

You don't have to go all the way to New York to see one hehe!

Once inside Aqua City...
It is a shopping paradise o(≧▽≦)o !

 We shopped at Shimamura again for cheap cheap clothes and shoes (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)~!!


Small part of their collections...


I shopped at Axes femme too! 
It's my new favorite brand hehe ≧◡≦~!!

Then we toured around Odaiba in their free shuttle bus and came upon...

Hello Kitty's Kawaii Paradise ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ!!
It's located at Palette Town~

Probably because it was still early, there wasn't anyone in the whole Hello Kitty world. It's like we owned the entire place hehehe (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ~!


It's so pretty inside with many fairy hello kitty's decoration!!


There's a huge range of very kawaii hello kitties, my melody and twin stars phone's casing being sold there (*≧▽≦)ノ ! 


And other dreamy merchandise and plushies (*´▽`*)... 


More bags and other hello kitties accessories!


And rows of Hello kitty's UFO catcher machines for you to play too (///∇//)~


For guys, you can sit at one of their lovely resting areas while waiting for your girlfriends to finish admiring the entire place, which will most probably take quite some time because there's simply too much to see 
hehe (゜∀゜) ~

There's a beautiful hello kitty's wishing well too~

And next to the wishing well is a small corner where you can write your wishes and hang them up for the Angel Hello kitty to grant them for you o(≧▽≦)o.

After our lovely Hello kitty paradise tour, we continued to explore the rest of Palette Town...

There is a Toyota showroom that shows off all of Toyota's latest models, car accessories and technologies, but sadly, it was closed on the day we visited TT______TT

No test drive for us too ( ̄□ ̄;)

Walking past the Toyota showroom is the entrance to Ferris Wheel!

The Ferris wheel is 115m tall!! すごい (ノ゚0゚)ノ~!!

 Considering it's one of the world largest, it offers a view of Odaiba and the Tokyo bay. However, due to the hot weather that day, we decided not to sit it  ._____. 
We will probably come ride during our next visit~!!

Next, we went into Leisureland, which is a huge entertainment complex featuring a large range of game arcade, bowling alleys, gacha machines, karaoke, table tennis and other sports games.

There's a haunted house too ⊙﹏⊙!! 

You have to open the gate and make your way up yourself ≧△≦ , giving you a much more realistic feel. 
As a group of brave Japanese men in their office attire entered, we witnessed the stairs shook vigorously with those eerie noises getting louder at every steps they took (⊙___◎)!!
That was definitely not a welcoming sight and my dear refused to enter the haunted attraction with all his might hehe ( ─ ‿‿ ─) ノ~! Unlike me, he's not a fan of scary experience (●´∀`●)...

So, we decided to opt for the ninja house instead!
We have to press a button at the entrance and a staff will appear out of no where to guide you through on the admission fee (0.0). 
That's just so cool \(//∇//)\~!!

The first room of the ninja house is a trap floor full of hiragana words.

We were supposed to link the words into a poem to pass the stage without activating the traps. 
Our conversation went...
Noel: "What poem?"
Me: "Don't know..."
Noel: "Then how are we supposed to pass this stage?"
Me: "Kelly said run pass it..."
Noel: "Huh? Really?"
Me: "Ya, if we die, we'll go back and haunt her and my bro..."
Noel: "How does the trap works?"
Me: "I think the ceiling will drop on every wrong words we step..."
Noel: "Serious? How are we going to run pass like that?"
Me: "I'll show you..."

Then I took one big step, hitting the  letter, and got past to the other end with the ceiling just dropping by a little. 
Yeah! We didn't die~...
Thank you, Kelly ( ─ ‿‿ ─) ノ
It's good to read blogs.

From here, you can actually see the ceiling that may fall on you if you failed hehe...

 

After passing the first obstacle, there will be a hidden wall that can be turned (~ ̄▽ ̄)~

After going through it, we traveled through a few passageways that contained various traps and surprises before reaching the inclined room.



The whole room is designed to slant towards one direction and there's no way you can stand upright (>.<). I felt pretty nauseous because of the unnatural angle we were forced to be in. 

In the inclined room, there's a stairs positioned against the wall...
Noel: "What's the stairs for?"
Me: "The instruction said it's impossible to climb up..."
But before I could finish my sentence, he already climbed the stairs...


 ...and he reached the top!!
With perfect ease OMG (ノ゚0゚)ノ!!
I was like: "WTH! I thought they said it was impossible to climb to the top?!"
My dear, who was still on top of the stairs, just smirked and replied: "All you need is some brain and a little agility."
Ok, I knew he has achieved a 2nd-Dan Black-belt level, the official instructor qualification level, in Taekwondo, but I didn't know he actually knew the mathematics theory behind climbing those stairs (>.<).
Then I spent the next few minutes listening to his lecture about the Physics behind the room and, at times like that, he can explain with such deep intelligence that it's as though I'm dating the reincarnation of Issac Newton ._____.
He's really can be that smart at times!! 
Even though I don't understand most of the things he said, I'm proud to have a boyfriend as intelligent as him
 ( ─ ‿‿ ─)
He taught me so many things and I wish he can give me half his intellect hehe~

So after our adventure in the ninja house, we were exhausted and decided to head back to our hotel to get some rest. 

Unpacking some of my loots for that day:

Feminine top and skirt from axes femme (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

A sweet one-piece dress and shoes from Shimamura (-^〇^-).

Another lovely dress also from Shimamura (゜∀゜)

That's all for today!!
I'll be back to blog about our trip to Tokyo Disneyland, Part 1 (≧∇≦)/~
So, until then, do take care!!

See you again ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ~~,
Ashley
