Day 2
Woke up pretty early as it was a Friday morning~

Head over to the onsen and obviously, we're the first batch of people to go for onsen.
We chatted super loudly inside the bathroom.
Water was really hot then!!
Almost burn my skin and I was shouting, "Ouch" non-stop. xD

After a while, an old lady came in. She was super brave!!
After she bathe already, she went straight into the onsen, without shouting, like what we did.
We went for 1/2 an hour onsen and then went out for a change and then breakfast!
Breakfast was awesome!!
Its those traditional type of Japanese breakfast, where you get rice, miso soup and a grilled fish!
Yummy!!

After that, we lugged our luggages out, did check-out and then asked the staff to help us call a cab, as we're lazy to carry the luggage.
Taxi came in a while, and we're still snapping photos!

The taxi ride was cheap and fast when going to Hakone-Yumoto station!
Haha! Costed us about 780yen for 3 person.
Saw some shops and the girls went shopping, while I waited outside.
It was drizzling back then, so the temperature was pretty cold.
We hurried and took the Romance Car back to Shinjuku.

Something bad happened.
I was totally snapped back then!
Maybe I was feeling really tired already.
We went to the wrong cabin and sat at the wrong seats.
It was only until the passengers who were seating there, came and tell us.
I was totally embarassed.
We lugged our luggages to another area.
Waited till the train stopped, and then ran over to our cabin.
We're at cabin 4 at first, then we ran non-stop till cabin 2. xD
It was damn tiring.
I think the girls were angry with me getting it wrong. ^^"

The whole journey took about 2 hours, so we used the time to sleep.
Reached Shinjuku, and we lugged our luggages over to Shibuya.
It was my first time at Shibuya, so I was also quite lost over there.
Had a hard time going over to Aoyama theater.
Asked for loads of directions.
Even went to convenience store to ask.
We went to get umbrellas too, as it was raining. Luckily, me and Ina were wearing waterproof coats, so we didn't really need the umbrella, but ended up, we bought it.
Climbed up the slopes with heavy luggage and we finally reached there! There was a long queue of people who were queuing up to enter the venue to watch the stageplay.
I went to ask the staff on where to buy the goods and he told me to wait till 1pm, so we headed to this fast food restaurant, 'First City Kitchen', which serve nice shaker fries!
Its even better than Singapore. But one thing, is that the shop was really small.
The fish burger was nice too!
Waited till 1pm and got my stuff!!
Then we headed back to Ikebukuro to do check-in.
It was around 2pm when we reached.

Did all the particular checking and we finally got to rest in the hotel.
Totally shagged!!
Then we headed over to the hair salon, which was opposite of the hotel to do our hair.
All of us got a hair cut.
We even get free hair curling too!!
Only Kinoshita-san was there, so she was busy attending to the 3 of us.
We had a nice chat!
After that, we're supposed to head over to Odaiba, but it was still drizzling, so we decided to postpone the trip and head over to Ikebukuro to shop instead.

Dinner was at the ramen store near the station. (The one which I went before).
As usual, it was awesome!
One of the staff there knows Chinese, as he was from China, so it was easier for us to communicate!
Then the staff tell his friends saying that we're from Singapore and so on. xD
Interesting man~

Shopped @ Ikebukuro. Went walking around, and then went to get our daily necessities @ Matsumoto Kiyoshi. We really spend loads of time over there, shopping!
Got loads of stuff,and then we went to KFC to get a drink before heading back to hotel.
The day ended with use getting really tired due to lugging of luggages everywhere.

P.S. Pictures will be up tonight!!!
