Japan Diaries: Day 19

Day 19 January 6, 2015

Tokyo DisneySea Day 2


Good morning Tokyo, I mean Chiba Prefecture! It looks like it's going to rain later in the afternoon according to the weather forecast (No!!!). Despite this not-so motivating news, our excitement level is still at 100%.
Tokyo DisneySea

Today, by the way, is Day 2 of our Disney theme park adventure. Our destination today is Tokyo DisneySea. As far as I know, this is the first and only one of its kind among all the Disney theme parks around the world.
Looks sort of Universal-ish to me...

Whoa! Am I still in Japan?

During our stay in the theme park, I came to the conclusion that Tokyo DisneySea could be more appealing to adult tourists because of its more challenging rides. Aside from that the theme park also boasts lots of picturesque attractions and places that older visitors would surely appreciate more. (Well that's only my point of view other people could still contest that.) 
Is this Chip or Dale?

I tried squeezing our schedule so that I could enjoy all the rides and of course take pictures all in one day. However, it proved impossible (even if we have the FastPass). Well, it just proves that you can't really have it all. 

Anyway here's how we spent our day in Tokyo DisneySea:

Rode an Arab ship to the Gulf

then transferred to an Oceanliner

before diving into Atlantis

...then suddenly found ourselves in Peru in search of the Crystal Skull...


...but was captured and was about to be sacrificed in a Mayan pyramid

...but escaped to England and rode the Tower of Terror

...then teleported to India

...before shouting like a madman in Hollywood

Overall, I truly enjoyed the beauty (and rides) of Tokyo DisneySea. I would highly recommend it to those who are planning to visit Tokyo, I mean Chiba Prefecture.

Time to go home!

We finally called it a day at Tokyo Bay Maihama Hotel Club Resort
Location: Tokyo DisneySea, 1-13 Maihama, Urayasu-shi, Chiba-ken 279-0031, Japan

Hiking Mt. Buntis

Image
Our adventurous feet take us to the historical town of Maragondon in the province of Cavite. Today, we'll be hiking a historical yet controversial mountain - Mt. Buntis . Mt. Buntis Mt. Buntis Details: Mt. Buntis stands 280 meters above sea level (MASL). The name " buntis " is a Filipino word that means pregnant. To find out why it was named as such, I asked our guide who sadly seems to know nothing about it. Then I recalled that a few years back, I hiked another mountain near Mt. Buntis called Mt. Nagpatong . The name " nagpatong ", by the way, means to lie on top of somebody...  I would love to share my own interpretation of how these mountains got their names but the story tends to be perverted in some way so I'd skip that part. Barangay Caingin Barangay Hall Don't forget to register Going back, despite its "shortage in elevation", Mt. Buntis remains one of the well-known mountains in the Philippines. This is brought by ...

St. James the Great Parish - Muntinlupa City

Image
Located in Cuenca corner Ibaan Streets, Ayala Alabang Village in Muntinlupa City, St. James the Great Parish is the main spiritual sanctuary of the Catholic residents of the said exclusive subdivision.  St. James the Great Parish St. James the Great Parish History St. James the Great Parish might look like one of those hundred-year-old baroque-style Spanish Colonial-era churches in the country but it's actually a fairly new structure as it was only constructed in 1993. Regardless, the adjective "great" in its name perfectly describes this church. So, what's great about this church? Aside from its beautiful facade and interior design, its massive size could fit about 500 churchgoers. Due to its beauty and size (this equates to a long walk down the aisle), St. James the Great Parish has become a popular venue for weddings for the rich and famous. As a matter of fact, local TV personalities Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna tied the know here. However, if you're plannin...
