Chibi loves being outside as you have seen from many photos that I have taken. Here are couple of videos of her doing cat things outside ! She is so cute !

I have just arrived back to Tokyo from Aomori last night, it was a long bus trip but very interesting!
In Aomori I started eating cornflakes a lot but the problem with the boxes here are that they are very “small” I can finish one box of cornflakes in two mornings (breakfast).
Since I am little bit lactose intolerant it’s hard to find good milk for me but this milk seems to go well with me.
I’m sure you all know the cute cat Chibi!
This is an activity she invented called “Gaijin climbing”
Every night soon as I had fallen a sleep she came on top my chest, stomach or back and just sat there or fell a sleep and made that cute voice cats do.
SHopping day ! Do you think I bought too much snacks ?
Since I know all of you love Chibi here are couple more photos of her trying to find that best tasting grass.
This looks a little bit like furry T-Rex eating to me.
Japanese radio station in Aomori. To be honest the main reason for me to take this photo was the super high tech computer you see on the table.
Visited a nice Japanese park in Aomori where you could also be able to see a big dam.
Here is the dam.
As always.. Ice cream !! I got the apple one and my girl got the vanilla.
I took some photos in a normal Japanese super market to you to see the prices and see how things are. (normally you can’t take photos there but I was fast and my camera is small)
NAM NAM NAM I love this cheese.
I went to Tsutaya which is a movie/music rental place, you can rent dvds blurays and so on. The funny thing I noticed there was that they sold empty dvds and blurays there as well hah it is like an invitation “please copy our movies” hahaha 😀
Thanks for reading my post ! see ya next time.
These couple of days were great, Cat cafes and delicious food !
Coming home after a long drinking night in Tokyo is always interesting. First train comes around about 5am-ish and in that train you can see a lot of weird things.
I arrived to Asakusa at 5.40am and the streets were so quiet and peaceful, very good time to take photos.
I went straight to sleep but I did saw people getting ready for the Sanja matsuri.
In Ginza there is a famous waffle shop that I never tried before and now I understand why there is a long queue everyday. They were deeeelicious and Cheap !
I’m absolutely mental about Ice cream ( you should know that already), in a hot day in Tokyo I normally eat 3-5 ice creams and most of them are macha (green tea) ice cream.
One of my weird traditions is to go to Shakey’s pizzeria and after I’m full I go to the cat cafe !
Shakeys pizza is a good place to go if you want ok tasting pizza, very tasty onion rings and 300yen drinks.
ps. that place is very cheap.
Here are some very cute photos of the cats at my favorite cat cafe at shinjuku called Calico.
In the last post post I wrote about the best Japanese fried chicken place (唐揚げ)
that is located in Asakusa. The chicken is very cheap so one evening I ate a lot of it 😀
M.O.S Burger is best fast food restaurant in the world. Just look how tasty it looks ! When you visit Japan you have to go to eat there even once !
I went to the famous One Piece event in Roppongi Hills which was great but the entrance fee was 2000 yen and you could not take photos inside there and it was in the same floor as the Tokyo city view but you could not enter to that side without paying 1500 yen more so I gave up and went only to see the One Piece event. It was worth the money but I would have been happier if I could have taken photos inside.
Long line of people getting the tickets to the event that was held in the 52nd floor if I’m not mistaken.
I did get a lot of One piece merchandise from there tho 😀
If you are going to the Solamachi mall in Tokyo Sky Tree you have to check out the kyoto green tea ice cream shop ! Look what I got and you understand why.
Also when you visit the tokyo Sky Tree you absolutely have to buy a Tokyo Banana Tree from there, they sell these almost everywhere in there so would not be too difficult to find.
As a nice end to this post, here is a homeless man with an expensive Finnish design bag called Marimekko. 😀

It seems that always when I go to my favorite cat cafe in Tokyo, I keep going to eat in the same restaurant called Shakeys pizza ( if you been reading my blog before you know it).
This time was no different, before we went to the cat cafe we took a quick stop at the restaurant to some delicious salad that they have and of course the best onion rings and few slices of pizza.
Calico
-Best cat cafe in Tokyo (in my honest oppinion)
-not too expensive 1000yen an hour
-you get a free ticket always when you leave and with it you can get a free drink when you come back.
I took some great shots of the cats again there 😀 I know all you cat lovers will like them a lot !
The first ones are my favorite 😀
These days when I go to this place I always buy that small box of chicken that the cats love. Always when I have it open the cats come around me 😀
Here are couple of photos of the cat downstairs and up.
-upstairs is great with Wii and ipad to play with 😀
Downstairs is full of Manga and an area where you can eat and drink as well 😀
More photos of the cute cats!
I love it how they put their paw on your hand when you are giving them chicken so that you don’t pull you don’t take the chicken away!
Sleepy sleepy
I loved this cat! I was watching this big cat jumping in to that small basket and everyone started laughing when she was trying to make herself fit in to it 😀
There there cute cat’s
I want more chicken !
He doesn’t want anyone touching him while he is a sleep.
Standing on my legs.
and Sleepy again

Here are 9 videos I took in Aomori, a little bit of everything from cats to castles I hope you like em!

2nd. Castle of Hirosaki! My hands were freezing when I took this! You can see a bit of the park as well and if the weather would have been better you could have seen a mountain in the background.
3rd and 4th. Two videos of the cutest cat ever called Chibi. My fiances family cat!

5th and 6th. Couple of small clips I took from the window of the car when we were driving in Aomori, the amount of snow is staggering.
