Sunday, Chloe and I took a trip over to Takeshiba and Odaiba. It takes about an hour from where we live, even when we hopped onto the special rapid.

As always, click to enlarge photo.

Sitting in Mitaka waiting for the special rapid to come. Our adventure was rainy.

Takashiba pier.

Takashiba pier.

I have no idea what this was, but it looks hella cool.

Rainbow Bridge from afar.

We took the train over to Odaiba Seaside Park. We found some public “art.”

More public art.

Despite the slight drizzle, people came to the beach to play volleyball.

Fish were jumping out of the water, thinking the rain was bugs.

For some reason, there was a small scale Statue of Liberty by the beach…

Awesome graffiti.

Things you should not do at the park! Such as:

Do not partake in dangerous activities, GOLF, skating, etc.

Ms. Liberty again.

There was this huge yacht party going on, which we later discovered was for a wedding.

Outside the “Captain Santa Museum” … we did not go in.

Creepy…

Mr. Sunny Man is one of Captain Santa’s favorite words.

Rainbow Bridge again.

The polar bears cry because YOU CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING.

IT’S A TRAP! DO A BARREL ROLL!

That kid is totally KAMEHAMEHA-ing the photographer. Chloe and I also got our picture with the creepy things called “Moncchichi” …

I have no idea what it is, but it points to the big ferris wheel.

The big ferris wheel! It cost 9 bucks. You do one complete rotation in 16 minutes.

The view from the top of the ferris wheel:

After the ferris wheel, Chloe and I did tons of purikura (I’ll post later) and went to Starbucks. Dude, TI CHI!! (inside joke) I WAS SO HAPPY!! Though, I asked for a shot of vanilla, and she didn’t seem to understand me. Regardless, it was a yummy happy time.

Ferris wheel lights up at dusk.

Rainbow bridge that is not Rainbowy. You have no idea how disappointed we were. Today, I found out why it wasn’t rainbow-y: The colored lights run off of solar power, and it was cloudy 80% of the day.

We went back to Seaside Mall to buy goldfish (the first place I saw goldfish!!) and eat some dinner, which was…

MONSTER BURGER!!

Bread chicken bread, bread ham bread, bread burger bread. Honestly, it wasn’t nearly as big as my friend talked it up to be. It didn’t even fill me up. But it was still delicious. The fries were REALLY good.

On the way back home… I can’t remember which station this was.. I think Kanda?

As soon as we got back to our town, there was a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEE thunderstorm going on. Pouring rain, lots of wind, TONS of lightning and thunder. It was thrilling, and made both of us SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY. We ran to the dollar store to pick up an umbrella for Chloe (she had left hers in Odaiba). We also bought a little plastic container to keep our goldfish in. We each bought two goldfish, and one died for each of us. Sad day, cuz it was the one we picked out too. Oh well.

Tomorrow we’re going to a pet store to find a better home for our fishies. It’s really nice to have a living thing in my room. Makes me miss my cute little fishies at home.
