Can you tell who my bias is??
Ready for Stray Kids in Sydney. If you see me around come grab a freebie 😊

Just an example of the Freebies I'll be handing out at the Melbourne and Sydney Stray Kids concerts.
I like to wander around and hand things out so I probably won't post locations but I'll be around ☺️

Still need to post for the last couple of days. It will have to wait till I get home now.
Once again managed to get a Business Class upgrade ☺️.
Souch legroom and boy do I need it, the last few days we're crazy.
Did have one last egg sando at the airport before boarding though 😂.
See you again soon Japan and South Korea.

Yesterday turned out to be another big day. We started slow by making our way to Ginza for the JYP pop up store for our reservation time. There was a big shrine festival happening that was fascinating. On the way we stopped at a nice cafe near the station for coffee and milk tea chiffon cake. A lot of stuff had sold out at the pop up but I still managed to get a fair bit and we we're out of there surprisingly quickly.
We then headed for Takesh*ta Street in Harajuku. I grabbed a rainbow coin waffle and we looked in a few shops but wanted to get to a K-pop cafe that was having a Felix/Han birthday event. We found the cafe, got some drinks and freebies then exited Takesh*ta Street and walked around the back to a shrine that was beautiful and peaceful. We cleansed in the water and enjoyed the peace, it also happened to be the shrine that had the Sanrio charm bags. We went back through Takesh*ta Street one last time and visited one of my favourite ice-cream places LiQumu. The ice-cream is so good and I'll always recommend the experience to everyone travelling here.
We went back to the hotel for a short rest and recharge then ventured to Godzilla Road in Shinjuku for dinner and a drink. I love the little trams we got to catch. The first place we went to was sold out of most of the food so we just had a drink and left but when we got outside the sky's opened up and we got soaked. We quickly found a Yakitori place to dry off and eat and the chicken meatball and egg yolk sent me to heaven.
We walked around a bit and got approached by several suspicious men before heading back towards Shinjuku Ale. Turns out they were doing Karaoke at the bar and after some liquid courage we ended up taking over with Disney songs and even had some locals join in singing the Japanese versions of songs. I absolutely slayed Poor Unfortunate Souls (I think 😅). We were supposed to have an early night as we were changing hotels again today but didn't get back until nearly 4am.
PSA: don't got to either Takesh*ta Street or Godzilla Road if you have problems with crowds and overstimulation. It can be a lot to handle for anyone and Godzilla road leads to a red light district full of scammers.

Not the most exciting day today. Caught the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo and very casually headed to the hotel in Ikbukro. We're here for 3 nights before heading to Tokyo Bay.
One of my favourite and most dangerous K-pop stores to visit is only a 10ish min walk from the hotel so I had to visit (to be honest I'll probably go back before we leave). I got a good little haul. Then had some dipping noodles and fried chicken for dinner, very filling and flavourful.

Visited Kycera Dome today as they have a special area that has handprints of those that performed there including Stray Kids. They were prepping for a baseball game so we checked out the merch store and it puts Australia to shame. They had so much cute things including different concept photos of the players. Nat and I each picked out favourite players and I got a little teddy bear charm with his jersey.
Then we went to Ktown and one of my favourite places in Osaka .colors cafe. We got pictures printed on our drinks and cookies some freebies and chilled while watching BTS performances. We also met some really sweet girls another Stay and a Carrat.
We then headed to Umeda and went to the Nintendo Store and One Piece Store for some goodies, then checked out the Tower Records cafe which had a Wonderful Precure event on so we got some cute dessert.
Got to ride on the Hep5 Ferris wheel which is on top of the department store.
For dinner we got hamburger steaks with cheese on top, very yummy.

Left Seoul super early this morning to get our flight to Osaka. We got on an adorable train carriage.
Felt like it took forever for us to get to the hotel but I think that may have just been because I was tired as customs at Kansai was actually really smooth.
I took myself to the Yakitori place I like at Shin Osaka station and did some laundry.
Also watched a little Sumo in the hotel but mostly just chilled.

Today during a run to the post office I accidentally found Stray Kids hand prints, it was definitely a happy accident.
There was also so many police and baracades everywhere, not quite sure but I heard someone say protests this weekend so we'll see.
After meeting up with the other we headed to Gangnam and saw the K-pop bears.
Then we had late lunch at the restaurant Stray kids would go to as trainees right near the old JYP building. Then we visited the old Hybe/Big Hit building that was covered in messages from Army.
After a rest we had BBQ pork for dinner.
I was planning on visiting a few more places but completely ran out of energy. Tomorrow is our last full day in Seoul/South Korea so perhaps I can do some then.

Sunday night after Gamcheon village, all of the cup sleeve events and doing some much needed laundry we ventured into Texas street which is a red light district in Busan looking for somewhere to have a drink. I had many drinks with some Russian host girls and ended up very drunk. It was a fun night but I ended up not waking up in time to make the train from Busan to Seoul with the others and had to catch a later one by myself.
I had so much leg room 😅.
I made it to Seoul and the station has these conveyor belts for luggage as there is a lot of stairs.
Got to the hotel in Myeong-dong and had a much needed shower but spent most of the afternoon on hold to the bank. I guess they flag $$$ spent a brothels in foreign countries as suspicious activity 😂. Unfortunately after several attempts of being on hold for over an hour and disconnecting I gave up to get food.
Our hotel is surrounded by restaurants and bars but I was only looking for a small bite so walked a bit and found a bunch of street food vendors. I got a strawberry tanghulu of course, a backed sweet potato and some gangjong. Then slept for a good while.
Hopefully I can sort out the banking issues as I'd love to go shopping and explore the area when I wake up.
