Last Day of June!〜Everyone, Today is the Deadline!＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／〜

And just like that it's already the last day of June! I'm spending this day looking at photos of the gorgeous hydrangeas at Yokosuka Museum of Art ＼＼\٩( 'ω' )و //／／Amazing… they were in full bloom😳✨The days are getting longe and I really feel like it's summer😊

Hello, this is Wakana(0￣▽￣0)／

I always feel energised by nature🌳

Well! Before starting with the big Sarushima arc, I'd like to talk about some of my fangirl activities from a while back😊These pictures are from April when I went to see "Detective Conan: The Movie 1,000,000" by myself. Before heading to the movie theatre, I had a special Kaito Kid collaboration ice cream at Baskin Robbins!! It was called "Kaito Kid's Jewel Sundae"🍨I went on a weekday morning so I was the only one in the store. When the sundae was brought to my table, the first thing I thought was, "it's huge!!"😂I immediately opened the acrylic coaster that came with the order so I could take a commemorative photo with the sundae📸It really feels like I was doing my very best to support my favourite character. By the way, this acrylic coaster is the same one that made a special appearance during my online after-talk event. It matches perfectly with my own acrylic stand😭 Amazing😭✨ There's a moon just like Kid-sama's trademark moon in the background, and our outfits are matching too😭 It's an incredible miracle😭✨

There were two types of ice cream to choose from, one of which was my favourite "Chocolate Chip"🍫 (unfortunately, it is no longer available…) The other one was a special limited edition "Detective Conan Yogurt-Berry Ice Cream"😊I took so many pictures, the sound of my "snap📸snap📸" echoed throughout the quiet store.

But… really… this sundae was huge!! 🍨🍨😂🍨🍨When I saw the whipped cream on top, I was worried whether or not I would be able to finish all of it. And as expected, I was struggling😇 By the time I got to the chocolate chip ice cream, my stomach felt a little bloated 😇 (or rather, I was craving something salty to make up for all the sweetness) But of course I ate it all!! And I was freezing!! (It was a chilly day) When I got to the bottom, I realised for the first time that Kid-sama was printed on the other side of the cup.✨

After eating delicious ice-cream and getting really cold, I headed to the cinema!! Once I was seated, I peeled Kid-sama off the back of my phone to take a took a picture 😂But thinking about it, I should have taken out the acrylic stand I got earlier 😭 How stupid of me😭Following an exciting and happy time watching a great movie, I went to Sushizanmai on the way home and ate my favourite torotaku maki🥰🍣I love torotaku!! ︎I want to start and finish my meal with torotaku 😻 (and have something grilled in between) Even though I love it so much, my photo doesn't do it justice🥺 But it still looks delicious 🤤 (at least in my opinion)

So, everyone, today is the last day of June which means it's the submission deadline for the talk topic of my next "Wakana's Talk Garden" Vlog which will be posted on July 10th! … Don't forget to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the heat♪

Until next time~☆( '▽')/

Day 13 ACTIVITIES + Goodbye Tokyo!

Today was my second free day and my final day in Tokyo. I had a lot planned, but I decided to go at my own pace and just enjoy the day. Sumo VIP Experience: Let the record show it. I'm 1-0 in sumo. Yes, they probably let me and everyone else win, but still. Count the wins as Shaq would say. This was one of my favorite experiences so far! The two retired sumo wrestlers were very funny and demonstrated the training/rules very well. We got to go into the ring and do training and a 1-on-1! Afterwards there was a Q&A session and a lot of good questions were asked. This was a win! Earthquake Museum: I finally got to "experience" an earthquake and let's just say I think I'll pass on any more earthquakes. I did not realize how much the ground shook in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake! It was both cool and absolutely frightening at the same time. I have to give massive props to the guide for working with me and my groupmate through a translator and being fair game. The simulators for the earthquake and smoke experience were both fun, and it was also just cool to go a bit outside of the Tokyo bubble and go to the quiet area of Kita City. Everyone was super friendly and it was a fun time. Lunch: I'm going to miss Yuragi. I ate my final bowl of their delicious white curry today and while no tears fell, it was felt. This definitely was my favorite food from Tokyo. Wandering in Ueno: I was SUPPOSED to go to the National Museum of Science and Nature, but nah. I grabbed some coffee and a cinnabon and just chilled, then went and got some sushi. Sushizanmai: After failing to get fatty tuna sushi at Tsukiji Market (I didn't really fail, I just wasn't ready), I knew that I had to bite the bullet at some point. When you're in Idaho, you have a potato. When you're in Japan, you eat sushi. I headed to Sushizanmai, a step above conveyer belt spots and not too expensive. I ordered with the tablet and got to work - two fatty tunas, two salmon, one shrimp, one crab, and some ice cream. Not bad work. My favorite was the fatty tuna. I would've skipped the crab next time. Solid 8/10. Ichiran: It was okay. I guess after you have it once, the luster wears off and you just have a basic bowl of ramen. Maybe it was a location thing, maybe it was the time I went, maybe it's Maybelline. Who knows. I won't revise my rating. And that's a wrap on Tokyo! Congrats to Yuragi for winning best restaurant (I'll do a separate Kyoto ranking). Here's some superlatives: - Best Group Activity: Wagashi/Tea Ceremony & Musashi University - Worst Group Activity: Meiji Shrine & Mt. Takao - Best Day: Day 6 (Rural Trip to Aomori) - Biggest Regrets: Not taking time to enjoy Meiji Shrine, losing to Mt. Takao, not getting sushi at Tsukiji Market. - Biggest Culture Shock: No trash cans or public bathrooms! SUPER CROWDED SUBWAYS!!! I tried a lot of restaurants in Tokyo, as food was one of my priorities for my study abroad. I rated each one out of 10 to see which one would come out on top. The good, the bad, I wanted to try it all. Here's the final rankings for Tokyo! - Yuragi: 10/10 - Big Iowa BBQ: 10/10 - Tokyo American Club: 10/10 - Tonkatsu Hinata: 10/10 - Ginza Grill Cardinal: 10/10 - Cedar Chop House Bar & Grill: 9/10 - Kurauzo: 9/10 - Le Blanc: 9/10 - Ichiran: 9/10 - Oreryu Shio Ramen: 9/10 - 中華キッチン刀削麺 登龍閣: 9/10 - Jan's Curry: 9/10 - Togendai View: 9/10 - Mochizuki Curry: 9/10 - I-Kitchen: 8/10 - McDonald's Lunch/Dinner: 8/10 - Sushizanmai: 8/10 - Ristorante Cavacavallo: 8/10 - Katsushin: 8/10 - Hope-ken Sendagaya HQ: 8/10 - McDonald's Breakfast: 7/10 - Gyukatsu Ichi Ni San: 6/10 - Brisk Stand: 5/10 - Hamburg Steak HIRO: 4/10

Tsukiji Hongwanji, Mitsukoshi Ginza, and Bunraku Performance

Today began by waking up, skipping breakfast, going to my class meeting and then heading with the group to the train station. We made our way to the Tsukuji Hongwanji temple, which is a Buddhist temple opened in 1617 originally and has now been reconstructed a few times influenced by Indian architecture. This temple was pretty interesting as it was not like most of the other Japanese temples which were built of wood, as this is constructed with stone.

After viewing the temple and saying a prayer inside we then proceeded to the Tsukiji fish market, which is one of the largest in all of Tokyo. While here we went to a sushi place called “Sushizanmai”, I ordered just a basic tuna roll which was pretty decent, though I would probably hold off on the wasabi for next time as I am not really a fan of the flavor. Next we made our way to Ginza, which is one of Tokyo’s top shopping districts, and is where you might expect people with money to burn to be hanging out. My friends and I were not too interested in the Louis Vuitton type shops so we walked around for a bit and ended up at a random underground mall where we found a restaurant that had appetizing looking photos on the wall. The name of the izakaya restaurant was “Miroku Yaesu” where I ordered what I thought was beef curry, though I’m pretty certain that I ended up gettting offal, and I am not really a fan of animal entrails… I did not end up eating any of the meat and was not too happy with my meal choice to say the least.

After not enjoying this mid meal we walked to a cake shop and got some strawberry cake, which tasted infinitely better than the organs.

Once done with that we took the train back to our hotel and then walked around the neighborhood for a bit. While perusing we stumbled upon a random temple in the middle of the Yushima area near our hotel, which was beautiful and also completely void of people which is a weird site to see anywhere in Tokyo.

After researching it some I found out that this is called Reiunji Temple, and was founded in 1691. It really feels wild to just be randomly walking and stumble upon a building that has a longer history than the entire United States of America. Once viewing this temple for a while we headed back to the hotel and relaxed for a bit before making our way to a Bunraku performance. Bunraku is a form of traditional Japanese puppetry dating back to the 17th century. This comprises of large wooden puppets controlled by multiple people, acting out a story while a “chanter” reads all the lines in an extremely emotionally charged performance, accompanied by a musical performance from a shamisen, which is a type of 3 stringed traditional musical instrument. The show was pretty interesting and definitely something I have never experienced before. The entire show was in Japanese, so I was not able to understand much but we were equipped with earbuds that told a brief synopsis of the plot every minute or so.

After the Bunraku performance we went back to the hotel and found a burger place in Akihabara called “Mos burger” where we had an okay meal, and despite me not really wanting a burger in Japan I went along as to not eat alone. After eating we all went back to the hotel and a group of about 12 of us hung out in the top floor conference room and watched a movie.

Academic Reflection

The Bunraku performance was an extremely unique experience, and after reading the story of the puppet performance, I was surprised to see it acted out much differently than I could have anticipated. The visual aspects of the puppets paired with the chanter and shamisen player sounds were quite the sight to behold. Seeing the events unfold, and knowing what was going to happen somehow added to the suspense and emotions as I knew what was coming next. The entire aspect of being there live in person definitely helped me to solidify the information and recall the events as they were unfolding right before my eyes. I thought that the whole substitution drama fit really well and I can see why there was a need for so much emotional impact. I enjoyed the scene near the beginning where Gonshiro finds out that he had mistakenly grabbed the wrong child, as this is really the turning point that knocked over the dominos and set the rest of the story into motion.
