Ikebukuro and Izakaya~

Ikebukuro is really nice place though there's nothing special there, the same stores and shops as elsewhere. Yet I somehow managed to spent the whole day there.
It was really really warm day and also windy, though this time even the wind was warm.

From Nakano, near our hostel.

Ikebukuro~

This time too, we didn't have anything planned. Mainly just walking around and going to Sunshine City, a shopping center.

 

 

 

 

We got hungry pretty soon and since we really had nothing planned we headed to eat Okonomiyaki.

We didn't know it was this kind of place where you could make it yourself. Well we didn't mind it! As long as they'd do it, lol.

 

 

 

 

It was super good! but it was also really hot there since the hot pan was in middle of the table..

After eating it was time for shopping and then a little break.

I bought this really cute little backpack~ and I wanted to buy another smaller bag too but I didn't since I had already bought a new one, heh.
I'm like my mom, aren't I? I'm only buying new bags and shoes ^^;

After the break we just walked around, nothing special. I just enjoyed the weather.

 

 Around 4 Milla headed to Shibuya for a gig (yes a third one :D) and I stayed in Ikebukuro.

 

And where else did I go if not Animate. It's a heaven, I tell you *-*

Somehow I spent two hours in Animate and no that's not even quite surprising taking in consideration that there were 6 floors but surprising was that I bought nothing, nothing at all! Gosh how much I would have loved to buy everything (and almost did) but I promised not to buy anything unless I really needed it. If I still want them I can go back and get them, hehe. And those few mangas I'll have to check if I could find them on BookOff for cheaper price.

Gacha gacha~

 

Had to buy another one of these.

I was back at our hostel around 7 and Milla came back around half past 9. We decided to go to a local Izakaya, yay! Because we weren't sure where to go exactly we went to look around and whaat, Christmas is here!

The place we ended up to had a nomihoudai, all-you-can-drink, for 1000 yen for hour and a half, not bad! And boy did we drink xD

Also some snacks. So delish!

Once our time was up (half past 1am) we left to take a walk at the near park. Not a good idea.. It was dark and we walked too far from the park and got lost. We wandered around from half an hour to an hour and once we finally found our way back it was already past 3am.

But in the end it was a day well spent, yes? :D
