A Weekend In Yokohama: Day Three

Welcome to the last post in my “A Weekend In Yokohama” series!

I think I woke up around 9am, with my aunt still there. She was going to stay with me the last day in Yokohama so that we could explore together. We both got ready for our day, packed our bags, and headed down to the hotel lobby to check out. The staff, again, were super nice, and said that they could hold our bags for us while we explored Yokohama. And with that, we set out.

For Breakfast, we returned to Eggs ‘N Things. It was so good the first time that we had to go again! This time, I got loaded french toast, which had an egg, ham, syrup, cheese, and obviously french toast. It was so good! My aunt had something I forgot the name of, which was spam, eggs, and potatoes. It was really good too!

After breakfast, we headed back to the Mega Mall to look for medical supplies for my aunts foot (we think she broke it the day before we flew to Japan). While we were there, I bought some souvenirs for my family back home, and took a picture with this C-3PO!

After finishing up at Mega Mall, we headed to the riverwalk in order to make our way into the city area. It was just as nice again today, and it smelled super salty, like seafood. We also heard someone playing the drums, but no matter how far we walked, the noise didn’t seem to get any closer or any further away. It was really weird.

Once in the city, we went into this large shopping mall called World Porters, and spent a good amount of time in there. We had a lot of time to kill, since our flight to Seoul didn’t leave until 8pm. We mostly window shopped. I think I bought a penguin coin purse, and we stopped at a cafe, and my aunt bought a dress, but I can’t remember buying much else. It was a very cool mall though!

After spending a good amount of time at World Porters and seeing all that there was to see, we headed towards an amusement park that we had heard about called Cosmic World. It’s where that giant Ferris wheel is. We found it quickly, and it actually wasn’t too crowded. There were eight different rides, and it was pay per ride. We paid for three, but only got the chance to ride two. We rode that giant Ferris Wheel, and a ricochet, spinning roller coaster. I hate roller coasters, but this was the best ride ever! I think it reminded me of those spinning cup rides, where the floor spins and then the cups spin and so on – I love those! I would totally go to this park again, if given the chance.

After getting off of the roller coaster, we realized that it was getting late and we needed to get back to our hotel to pick our stuff up. After picking up our bags, the staff called a taxi to take us to the Airport. It was a long drive, maybe 45m.

When we first got into the airport, we sat down and went through our bags to make sure that we didn’t have any liquids or food with us. I had sandwiches and drinks, so I ate the sandwiches and chugged the drinks, because they were delicious and I was not going to waste them. A woman came and sat down by us and asked us if we would mind taking a survey, which we agreed to. I think it was a transportation survey? It sounded like they were getting the public’s feedback on public transportation and the prices.

We ended up getting the airport too early to check in, so we looked around for where we’d like to eat dinner and we went in some shops. I bought more souvenirs for my family there. After looking through several stores and restaurants, we settled on a restaurant to eat at. I think it was Chinese restaurant, but I’m not positive. I had seafood udon and my aunt had something else with shrimp. They were both soups with noodles.

After dinner, we went through security and looked for our gate. There were even more stores on this side of the airport! We found our gate, but still had time to kill, so we window shopped again. I found this Samurai Storm Trooper:

I got a nosebleed right before our flight, so that was fun. It ended pretty quickly though, which I was happy about. Our flight got delayed for about 30m, but after that, things went really smoothly. I watched a movie called Swing Kids, which is like Korean/American, I think? There’s an older one, but I watched a newer one with Do Kyungsoo (an actor and singer I like). It was a really good movie, but it ended sadly.

After landing in Seoul, we exchanged our Yen for Won and then headed to our hotel. Since we were landing in Seoul so late, we were spending the night in Seoul and would spend the next day there as well. I was so excited! I had wanted to go to Seoul for so long, and I finally got to.

That’s it for my Yokohama trip! My next post will be about my day in Seoul and all of the incredible things that I got to see. Thanks for reading!
