where am i?

zomg i've procrastinated blogging for.... more than a week! wait no that's not fair i didn't have access to internet or a laptop during the first half.

so i am in... new york city!!!!!!!!!!!!! surprised? me too. i can't believe i survived that plane ride.

i actually didn't feel the first 7 hours on the plane. wow. i thought i'd cured my hatred for long flights. but after the 3 hour transit in japan, the next 12 hours (yes, 12 FRIKIN HOURS) were.......... unbelievably long and tiring and dreadful and the product of all the existing swear words.

i was bored.

i was still bored.

during the transit, i had enough time to visit every little shop around the waiting area in the narita airport. and omg!!! i love japanese stuff!!! all the packagings were cute, creative and definitely eye-catching. and you know those fake foods they display in restaurant windows?

loooove them!

who knows how to make them? i wanna learn!

then there were robots:

this is a dancing speaker. those round caps rotated, opened and closed, and the lights constantly changed colours while the body itself rolled around. cute

and all the miniature stuff in the world (including those fake foods above)

extremely small irons. great for travelling.

awwww

mini grand piano. when the song plays, the keys are automatically pressed down where they should. but when i tried pressing on them there was no sound.

look ratna!!! a bunch of bobbing heads!!!! HAHAHA

some artistic stuff too. but i only caught a pic of this one

a "humping dog" usb for 950 yen. LOL!!!!!!! the dog moves btw. up and down. in humping motion.

do you know how awkward it was to take all those pictures in a store??? i didn't even know if i was allowed to. my camera was in its pouch, on, so when no one's looking i could just whip it out, snap, and quickly slip it back in again. i felt like a criminal! ever since that time when i took pictures and got screamed at by a staff, i've been quite traumatic.

my dad and i tried taking pictures with this sony camera on display. we captured a photograph hanging behind it, with the camera's lens only around 1 cm away from it. almost touching! and the picture still came out crystal clear, with great details. geez, technology these days.

when i visited the bathroom, i noticed there were 3 stalls. the one on the most left where you had to squat to do your business (so like the peeing hole on the floor), the second a normal toilet seat plus a chair for a toddler stuck on the wall, and the third the biggest.

it had a table to change your child's diapers, and i noticed buttons beside the toilet seat. some to turn on and off water if you want to.... uh... rinse your behind (idk how else to put it), another bunch to control the water pressure, and this specific one to actually..... play a recording of water flushing. so people outside can't hear what you're doing in there. lol!!!!!!!!! that's pretty creative!! too bad i didn't bring my cam with me.

i didn't try to press it, cuz i remember reading about it in someone's blog and according to her, it sounds extremely recorded and fake. would be more embarrassing than people hearing what you're actually doing. can't wait to try it out when i'm going back home. that is, if no one else is in the bathroom besides me.

ryan was hungry, so he bought tempura udon:
