         Today it was hard to decide what to do. I wanted to do everything, but it would not be possible. I wanted/needed to do the Flea Market in order to get cooking pots and pans along with other needed things. The beach party group would meet at 12:30pm, the flea market at 1:00pm, and Harmony land 3:45 pm. ... I would not be able to do them all. :(.. I really wanted to go to Spa beach, but I ended up going to the flea market instead.
          Mariko invited Yurim and I (and some others) to go to Harmony land for free!! :). Usually it costs about 2000+ yen. So I knew I needed to go, and I wanted to go to Harmony land! So Yurim and I decided to go to both the flea market and Harmonyland.
          Before the flea market, I asked Shannon to hang out. But when we went downstairs, the flea market lines had already started. The crowds were crazy! Once it started,  Shannon took pictured for me and held my stuff (once I bought it). I got a lot of things!!;) All for 930 yen = $11.93. I got a frying pan, a pot, 4 binders, a small tea cup, a cute piggy spatula, a ladel, two bowls, and four containers. (YOkatta desu ne!!) It was soo great... sooo == Thrifting in Japan! Apu style!! :)

Afterwards, Shannon and I went to take pictures, and then make lunch :). We left APU on the left side this time. The area was SOOO PRETTY :) When we got back and made lunch, time passed by so fast! I so we had to rush, Yu told me that Shannon could come since some of the other people that were invited could not come.

We walked out towards the left this time

Secret staircase :)!



Back at APU :)

Now... Lunch time :)! (Using some of the things I got from the Flea Market :)

We met Mariko late :(. It was raining/drizzling outside :/. (I am so thankful that I bought that umbrella!!! I felt a nudge to) But it was ok because we caught the bus, the only problem was that we had to take the bullet train because we missed the cheap train :(. The bullet train was really fast and fancy!! :) but it cost 620 yen!! :O = about $8.
         In one of the stop stations where we waited for our bus; there was a little boy who was so shy of us. He kept hiding behind his mom, even though she kept telling him to say hi. :P He was soooo cuttee!! The bus for harmony land picked us up !! I think it cost 260 yen. :\.

          Harmonyland was actually kind of creepy at first... but then it was really cute and pretty. It was raining so it was a bit annoying :(. But later , when it got dark it made the pictures so much prettier!! All the umbrellas and lights reflected and added to the pictures! IT was so beautiful!! Especially the rainbow tunnel.
