12 Jan 2011, Japan Day 5
Weather was at a good 11 degrees today! Didn`t really feel any different except for a few short whiles, but it was good to know. :) Too bad its going back to around 6 degrees tomorrow..
Breakfast was at McDonalds! A 100 yen McPork burger. Buta buta. That was some tasty pork too.
Went to some island-y place containing a theme park called Cosmoworld. Entrance is free, but all the rides cost money. A substantial amount, too. A 15 minute(thanks to my powderful calculating technique) ferris wheel costs 700 yen. So is a ride on the roller coaster. Wandered around the area for a bit before we found that there was really nothing much we could do without overpaying.
Back to Isezaki-cho for lunch. Had chinese soba and gyoza. My first taste of gyoza: didn`t really like the ingredients. Could be better. Did a bit of shopping at Casual House. Great place for clothes. I picked out quite a few from there on my last trip too.
Last stop, an onsen `theme park` called Manyo Club. It was something like Oedo Onsen, but I didn`t do as much this time. Not much to do anyway. Finally managed to enter the hot water bath this time! Coupled with the great relaxation feeling. Finished up with dinner at a food court outside: beef steak fried rice. Yummy.
My skin`s getting drier by the day! Really painful and sensitive, especially against wooly objects. 11 days to go too! Ouch ouch.. next stop is Hakone tomorrow!
