Yokohama

Last Friday me and the usual culprits went to Yokohama for a day trip. We started around China Town and embarked on another progressive snacking tour with xiao long bao, sesame seed balls, and a giant meat bun. We then migrated to the north shore and had a date with the golden gates of McDonald's. I munched on some crispy fries and in the process made a new friend.

New Boyfriend!

Then we got sidetracked by this cute attraction:

Although I don't agree with leashing bunnies, it was super cute! An A+ tourist attraction.

To work off our growing food bellies we walked over to an awesome place called Oosanbashi Pier, which is a crazy long dock with lots of slopes and curves. It looked like perfect rolling conditions but there were cameras everywhere. So we decided to pretend.

 

Afterward we headed over to an area called Minato Mirai 21, which is a big shopping area. On the way we ran into a Flower Garden display! All of the flowers were very beautiful, and to match the mood a vendor was selling heart shaped croquettes.

Looks like a magazine!

Made with love.

Next we headed over to a nearby mall where we did some window shopping and, of course, eating.

Curry bread (spicy curry inside), beef katsu bread, malasada! Anna's Hawaiian senses detected the Leonard's stand from across the food market. It's a Portuguese donut that's covered with sugar and sometimes has a cream filling.

When the sun went down the Yokohama Cosmoworld amusement park lit up. The humongous Ferris wheel was stunning! And it also conveniently told the time. Although the park was pretty empty we walked around looking for UFO catchers and ended up taking some purikura pictures.

Very tired after but it was a fun trip. Oh, and happened to stumble across the Yokohama Pokemon Center. Good thing it was 5 minutes before closing. Next time!
