Day 3 (part 2) - Yokohama I heart you ^^



Romantic Port of Yokohama - Minatomirai

 Again 17 May 2012

Abandoning Odaiba maybe is not the best choice. But that's what travel meant to be. Sometimes, you can't go the places you want to be, but places that "possible" to be visit within optimum time frame you might have. No need to be insist, instead you have more on anything. More money, more time, more logistic maybe? Simply, more flexibility to adjust your plan. But trust me, adjusting unexpected thing is the most precious thing in travelling. If everything run smoothly, it would be your damn luck then. If not, take it as a gift. That's why at the moment we called it "present".

Yokohama. A small town lies in south of Tokyo. It was capital city of Kanagawa Prefecture. Its become of Japan major port, Minato mirai. With a landscape as harbour area, Yokohama lies between a huge port and sub-urban city.

At the first stage, we definitely put our desire as adrenaline junkie to take the "Diving vanish coaster at Cosmoworld-Yokohama. After reading some review over this coaster, seeing video in YouTube we intentionally arrange specific schedule to visit this town. Unfortunately, this theme park was under construction during our visit. What a bad damn coincidence. Maybe it was our fault, since we did not do specific research of the current status and condition of this theme park prior to our visit.

See, too excited over something again... lead you to the "unexpected" moment.

Near to the Cosmoworld, there's Cup Noodle Museum. Name told you everything, yeah...it was museum used to exhibit the process, evolution and some Cup Noodle Product plus merchandise. This museum frame up as huge building with simple design. We did not officially enter this museum since its almost 5  PM already. Museum soon will be closed. But, outer from the ticket counter there's souvenir shop that still open. So, we only have our time for a short sightseeing and seeking a proper place for Shalat. Lucky us, the staff give us opportunity to take a picture with the museum mascot. Say Sushiiii............

 Luckily, Emy has arranged such a rendezvous with her old friend from Indonesia that currently stay in Yokohama. She lead us to enjoy the first acceptable cuisine (for myself) during our trip in Japan, yups Surabaya Resto ^^

 Time flies away, we have enjoy our time by sightseeing Yokohama port at night. The weather is a bit cold with huge winds blowing away as compliment. We take a short walk back to the Sakuragicho station through the bridge that cross along the port. You'll see Cosmoworld and Yokohama port at your right side and Yokohama as modern city in other side.

Put your feet step by step on the wooden bridge with minimum lighting. Feel the fresh air at night (even it Lil bit freezing). And that thing happen. I don't know. Am i overreacting??? But truly, I've fall in love with this city. I told to myself, i will be here again someday.

Don't wanna grieve upon my hysteria, we leave this town after watching one of the best live band performance ever. Yups, there's a live band performance in front of Sakuragicho station. The band give their best performance under the sky hahahah..maybe its called street band or street singer (as we called street dancer). The melody was easily adopted by Indonesian music lover like me, even though i don't know the meaning of each lyrics.

People stop by to watch and support them, give a huge applause and you know i can see the excitement among their face. And the interesting one is those audiences not only comprise of young people aka. student; there's some adults even some men workers just step by and listen. See, under the windy weather enjoying such a stuff give me another description of heaven.
