Out of Place

Puroland, also known as Hello Kitty’s theme park. Every 10 year old girl’s dream. Something I never knew existed until Jennike insisted we go. I wasn’t opposed to the idea. I grew up knowing a handful of the characters and always thought Badtz-Maru was a pretty hard looking penguin who went against the grain. The thing that was odd to me was being the only full grown adult male in a sea of little Japanese girls. It wasn’t too weird, but when I caught myself trying to peek into Hello Kitty’s house along side several girls half my size, I had to restrain myself. There was several attractions, a boat ride, live performances, and getting to meet THE Hello Kitty herself. I don’t know if it was cool or not, but I had a pretty good time hanging with Monkichi.

Monkichi looking hard.

The very creepy urinals.

Jennike ringing The Bell of Happiness.

After Hello Kitty blew me a kiss, we were off to our next destination.

We headed to Harajuku, Tokyo’s fashion district. Went to a few stores and bought several things I don’t need.

Supreme Harajuku.

Wasn't allowed to take this picture, but I did.

Stopped by Kiddy Land and saw the scariest Mickey Mouse I've ever seen.

Takoyaki.
