Day 15 Not a proper update as it's a travel day, currently in my hotel in Shanghai about to sleep before the GP later and my early-ish flight back home

Day 14 My final full day in Japan, this time in Nagoya. I checked out of my Tokyo hotel and got the shinkansen down to Nagoya for the day. I wish I'd come earlier as I'd liked to have spent more time here, especially om a day like today, the sun was shining so much.

Day 13 My final day in Tokyo, so I spent it in Yokohama! When I visited it last weekend for the lives I noticed a model railway museum on the map, I didn't want to go the same day as the live but was sad I missed out so made the trip back down to go see it!

Day 12 A very slow start to today again, the constant walking and adventuring is getting to me that I was both fatigued in that everything hurts but also I didn't know where to go anyway 😂 I finally left the hotel at 2pm for some much needed food, Yoshinoya saving me as always

Day 11 Slow day as the constant adventuring is starting to take it's toll. Started with a lie in &while I did some laundry, started packing up to check where I was at with space. Found that everything I bought fit in less than half a suitcase so I jokingly said to Gary that I needed to go shopping😂

Day 10! Today I travelled to Odaiba with Gary & Anthony, we visited the love live chara cafe and bought over price kinda mid food on the name of love live!

Day 9 Took it easy today after the excitement of the weekend, slept in and didn't leave the room until after noon. Spent the day in Ikebukuro doing some shopping, picked some bits up for friends and had Coco curry for lunch again.

Day 8 Shinymas ∞th Live Day 2! Took this day much slower than the first as I knew what to expect at the venue I wasn't so stressed about getting there and also had a nice lie in because I was so achy from day 1 😂 I also wore my hat so I was more protected from the sun!

Day 2! You can watch the first few songs for free too ! I'm up on the gods again on level 7 but I'm still happy www.youtube.com/live/F3MNaxT...

Day 7 Shinymas ∞th Live Day 1 Spent the morning getting ready for the live, making sure my bag was all set before heading over to Yokohama

The whole reason for this kind of impromptu trip is that I got tickets to both days of Idolmaster Shiny Colors concert! Currently sat in my seat waiting for it to start, if you'd like to watch along they are streaming the first bit of the concert for free! www.youtube.com/live/okVphd0...

Day 6 Back to Numazu! Today I went down to Numazu, the setting of Love Live Sunshine once again, though this time with Gary & Anthony We got the shinkansen down, which is always a delight 💛

Day 5 A redemption for the last couple days! Started the day with a lie in 🙏🙏 and then went for Brunch with Gary & Anthony. Was lovely seeing them and the food was tasty. Gary got me a couple bits from the Kyoto train museum too 💛💛

Spoilers for today's post but I went to a train museum and it was great

Day 3 - started at 4am !! Maybe by the end of the trip I'll actually get a lie in... Had a big breakfast at Dennys to make up for the fact I didn't rly have dinner yesterday, which was tasty and saw some fun wall art on the way

Day 2 - a bit of a disappointing day, started with waking at 6am again 🙃 went over to Ginza for F1 goodies, the store wasn't quite open yet and I only had one place to get breakfast which was meh. Once the store opened, they had a few cool things to look at but did not have what I was looking for 😔

Also watched someone in the pub take a photo of the English branded malt vinegar and realised that's what I look like taking photos of random jp shit when I'm here 😂😂😂

Day 1 - was on the hunt for Straylight merch in Ikebukuro & Akihabara today.

Body naturally woke at 06:13, rolled over and then woke at 07:50 so think I'm in the right time zone just not holiday mode lol Not going to dox my hotel but currently sat having some snacks watching the trains go by as I'm right by the tracks!

Arrived safely in Tokyo, had some snacks and a shower and now having a good night's rest 💛

When in Rome or something

Back in my travel influencer era as I'm on another trip. Just landed in China for a short layover before heading to my final destination. Flight was good, got moved to a 2 seater at the back so I had more space and the food was great! Played some Pokopia and got a little bit of sleep too

We have a sixth player

The final word is Sylvester’s A cat is never late, but arrives exactly when he means to

SPICE CAT!

The cow print crew (Captain Noodles, left and Pipsy Cola the third, right) share my painting chair. #caturday

@nachtangel.bsky.social and I played Hover on the Switch today. It's a fun parkour grafitti game with great scenery and a decent soundtrack. #Nintendoswitch Here are some screenshots.

@nachtangel.bsky.social got every graffiti spot in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk sprayed and all that happened was this old man joined our crew :( Just joking, we're don't discriminate against the old and infirm. If you knew me you'd know why. #Nintendoswitch

The immense gravity of black holes warps the very fabric of space-time. #caturday

Tonight's game with @nachtangel.bsky.social was Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. An indie homage to, and worthy successor of Jet Set Radio and JSR Future. Tricks, grafitti, gangs, Police, music, dancing. All good stuff. #Nintendoswitch

Played some games with my daughter @nachtangel.bsky.social ove the Christmas break. Completed Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley and A Short Hike, continuing with Slay the Spire. #Nintendoswitch

A very important thread of all the cats I've met so far in Morocco. Day 1

We have joined by Sylvester for a game of Wyrmspan... #boardgame #boardgaming #TableTopGaming #cat #GamingCat

Noodles arrived to congratulate us all #cats

Sorry as per my location that's Leeds, Alabama

From Surrey to Bristol to Leeds in one day, the trains behaved for once 🙏

"a little closer to home" jfc I cannot type it appears

On another adventure today, a look ittle closer to come though!

On my final plane home (with WiFi!) my least favourite bit as it's 14hrs but hoping it'll breeze by 🙏 I just want to be home now with my family and cats and my own fucking bed !!!

The last thing I did in Japan before heading to the airport was visiting the observatory on the 60th level of Sunshine. I went there in 2014 with Dad and I got a bit emotional when I was there. The city was just as beautiful and incredible as it was then.

This morning I did some more shopping (shocking) went to my least fav shop of donki but it's great for getting snack type things for colleagues. I then had lunch at Kura Sushi. I had planned to go to sweets paradise but it was fully booked so we celebrated Soras birthday with sushi and a new outfit!

Starting my final day off work breakfast in the little park next to Sunshine City. We visited here in 2014 and named it cat park after all the cats that lived here. They seem to have all been rescued nowadays. Still a nice park though

When you finally see one of the cats on live view but it keeps failing 😭😭😭 I can't wait to see them in a couple days 💛🙏

I started the day with breakfast at Dennys and then when onto Nippori for Fabric street (with a quick stop at Tabata for Tabatan badges)

I did laundry, visited the onsen and then had a nap. Just got back from dinner and am now in bed with some snacks and the F1

I've now distributed my luggage and had a tidy, truing to figure out if I want to go out for some late lunch or maybe just go to the onsen when it opens in 30 and do some laundry

This morning I went to the Lovelive sega cafe in Akiba. It was....ok. the design was cute as always but I think I've realised they aren't as fun in your own as with friends. Also my sandwich (???) was difficult to eat lmao

Today I visited Numazu for the 4th time, to commemorate the finale live last weekend. Numazu is a town where Love Live Sunshine is set and is a huge part of the story. It's also absolutely beautiful !
