Our Trip to Japan By Angelo Celedonio

Mom, Tristan and I were packing our stuff to get ready for our Japan trip.  Tristan and I were distracted by our Xbox 360 and were delayed a bit which caused our mom to get mad at us.  We finished packing our stuff which consist of my drawing pad, book and some toiletries. Our clothes were already packed beforehand.  When we were ready, mom called for a taxi and we headed to the airport.  We ate at McDonald’s for a while and then went to the check-in counter to check in and deposit our luggage.  However, we ended waiting for the wrong line and got delayed even more.  But we were able to check-in finally and after that we headed to the airport terminal.  

We had dinner at McDonalds, my brother's favourite food chain

When I went  inside, the alarm set off and the officer told me to stand aside.  He checked and scanned all parts of my body and found out that it was my key chain that triggered the alarm.  It wasn’t very troublesome though and the officer was still nice to me.

When it was time to board the plane, we had to walk to the way behind for our seats.  We put away our bags and waited for the plane to take off.  After a few hours, our mom suggested that we watch a movie.  So we watched Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters, but I ended up being the only one to finish watching the movie.  Mom and Tristan just went to sleep.  I then started to play ‘Osu’, a rhythm click game that makes use of clicks, sliders and spinners to follow a song.  After a few hours, the laptop ran out of battery and I just sat there until we arrived in Taipei.  I assumed that we were there so the plane could refill.  Then we took off again and arrived in Japan. 

It was very cloudy when the plane landed. I was surpsrised when the captain announced that we were landing already because I still see too many clouds so I thought we were still up in the air. It was really cold in Japan, I had to wear a jacket most of the time.  

My parents asked us to buy our own tickets at the station.  There were also other kinds of vending machines there. I sat with dad at the train on the way to his house.But before going home, we ate at an Italian café for lunch then went to dad’s house to rest.  

This steak is so yummy!!!

Tristan and I enjoying our steak

For dinner, we ate at Ikinari. They had great steak but it was a standing up restaurant, there were no chairs for us to sit down.  We then became full and we passed by a convenience store and ended up buying some ice cream.  I had cookies and cream then mom had green tea ice cream.  Tristan and dad were too full so they did not buy anymore.  We sat down outside the shop and ate our ice cream there.

Still eating ice cream despite the cold weather.
