i've been to Universal Studio Japan during the exchange days...but darling has not been to one b4...so there we went!
Sakaisuji Honmachi - Umeda
Osaka - Universal City
the Spiderman JR going to USJ..it seemed quite crowded...and den I realised its the sch holidays!!! gosh..its going to b a mad mad q for the rides at USJ liao..
i took a photo at the same location some 7 yrs back..and 7 yrs later..i'm back to where i was!
inside the USJ...i tink we were still pretty early...at 9+...but we were wrong to tink tat its not crowded!!
wif Betty Boop and the duck (or issit bird??)
q-ing for the roller coaster ride "Dreamworld"...we spent close to 1 hr juz q-ing for this ride!!! as we get closer to the q..i start to get chicken feet...cos it really look scary!!! anyway wat i liked abt the USJ system is tat they hav a Fast Lane for single person..so if u r taking the ride alone...u can go and q at the fast lane...cos alot of times, the q r jammed up wif ppl in BIG grps...we used the fast lane for the Jurassic Park ride and some other rides..pretending we r alone taking the rides and i always joined darling in the same car in all the rides! saved ALOT of time!
juz look at the no. of pple q-ing for the roller coaster!
i came down fr the roller coaster wif my legs feeling jelly..even thou it didnt go topsy upside down and it was only 3 min..it felt like a lifetime! the speed and the angle which it turned made me wanna puke..when i was younger...such rides were no problem to me..when i get older..i realised i get more coward! haha..
a Hello Kitty performance...everything in Japanese..
the Spiderman ride
me playing afool wif the 3D specs..
i totally enjoyed the Spiderman ride...we were hole up in a little car/cabin watever u called those things..but i cld c Spiderman really pouncing down onto my car! v v real! and i cld feel the heat where a bomb went off and there was a fire..and water droplets when it was raining (or water which was used to put out those fire??)..
the roller coaster and Spiderman were new rides which wasn't available 7 yrs back..and I'm glad i went back again cos these rides were GOOD!!!
at the Jaws ride...looooooooong q too..
same pose same location again..
even thou its sunny..again its pretty cold!!! i regretted not wearing the thicker jacker or thicker sweater!
T-rex is coming!!!
the Western country feel..
Pretty flowers blooming!
i took this pic 7 yrs back too!
was hungry so we grabbed a quick bite of something not v nice..
i watched this show b4 too..and its still the same! hahah...v v realistic bombing..and u can really feel the heat fr the fire!
wif one of the cast
he's q-ing for the Jurassic Park turkey drumstick...loooooong q AGAIN!
and he finally got it like after 30min?? he liked it alot..probably cos its nice to eat something hot on a cold day and after 30 min of q-ing, it gotta b gd rite?? i din really like it cos the meat wasn't v tender..
darling went to take a 2nd ride at the Jurassic Park boat..i was afraid of getting wet plus no more guts..so i waited for him downstairs to catch some photos of him..
after tat was q-ing time again..this time for a 3-D animation..and somehow we din read properly...we thot it was Shrek..but after a certain time, the show will change to Sesame Street!!! to tink we wasted and hr q-ing for it...if we hav read carefully..we wld hav gone for the Terminator Show instead...
camwhoring during the q-ing time wif the yummy popcorn!
and when the nite fall...it gets cooooooooolder...
we went into Hard Rock cos darling wanted to c if there's anything nice to buy...he bot a sweater and i got a t-shirt for 2000yen (or was it 3000yen) for 2 items...it was v worth..as i was v cold..i put on the sweater on top of my own b4 wearing my jacket again...there was a United Colours of Benetton factory outlet and i grabbed a few pc of tops for myself and darling..1000 yen (14.50sgd) for a tshirt or long sleeve top...cheap rite?
and we went to Shinsaibashi!! its the MUST-GO place of Osaka...where u can find a long shopping street as well as eatery street...we had a hard time getting to this area as I couldn't rem the direction..
and of cos..this place is famous for its neon lights adverts! the Glico-man!
we wanted to find this Jin Long ramen and i tink we spent 30min walking ard looking for it..i asked several ppl and not all of them noe abt it..wierd..its such a famous ramen place leh...i tink one auntie even gave me the wrong direction..
and when we finally saw its neon lights shining...we felt like seeing water in a desert..the nite was getting colder and we were hungry..darling wasn't in the best of mood cos of his growling stomach...so i was almost hysterical when i saw the neon light!
the feel its like eating at a road side stall..
they provided free kimchi to go along wif the ramen..the ramen itself wasnt fantastic but the soup was our life saver! juz imagine slurping hot soup on a cold nite..i juz cant describe the feeling in words...in fact, it felt so gd tat we had this the again the next nite we came to shinsaibashi!
and how can we forget Takoyaki in Osaka?? its juz like eating Chilli Crabs in SG! this stall was recommended by Natasha..
we ordered the spicy one but din feel the sauce was gd...shd hav ordered the normal sauce..which we did the following nite..
another 2 icons of Shinsaibashi
on our way back, we dropped by the conv store to get some drinks and snacks...darling saw the adver for this drink in the trains so he wanted to give it a try...it's like Jolly Shandy but 1000X better!!
