halo mummies!
m back fr tokyo! we extended our trip for a day so only came back on thurs nite! wanted to extend our trip by 2 days but all the flights on fri were full!
it was a pretty good trip but tiring as well coz' my girl sticks to me like uhu glue n didn't want anyone else. so during the flights and coach rides, she was seated on my lap. so i didn't manage to do much shopping either.
but i've to say tokyo is pretty child-friendly, minus some of the subway stations that didn't have any escalators nor elevators. most of the loos have the diaper-changing tables and some cubicles even have a little seat for your toddler to sit in while you pee/poo.
n it is pretty safe too. my fren told us we could leave our stroller outside the restaurants and no one would take it and it's true!
n oh, we ran out of FM on our last 2nd day there so we dropped by a nearby pharmacy where we found FM packed in sachets! it's soooo convenient!
and oh, i've to say that i was really impressed with this ANA counter staff at Narita airport. when we checked in for our flight back, i was standing in the queue carrying my girl and my other hand was on the stroller while my hubby was somewhere behind pulling our luggages, and this ANA staff got up from her counter, walked to me and helped me pushed the stroller to the counter before popping back into her seat to help us process our tickets! i was sooo sooo impressed!
initially, for our flight back, i almost fainted when i did the internet check-in and realised that my hubby and i were given seats that were far apart! i was sitting on the left side of the plane while he was seated on the right side! all the seats were occupied except for 2 other single seats which were also a distance away! but thankfully, the ANA counter staff managed to get us the bassinet seats when we checked in at the airport and there was alot of leg space!
anyway, my girl lost weight coz' she was juz munching on cookies most of the time with milk feeds in between. we gave us rice and soup which she ate occasionally. she didn't want to eat the baby food in jars that we brought along. funnily, she had a hearty appetite when we were there and kept asking for milk - prob coz' it's cold there so she gets hungry easily.
but think if we're going to travel again next year, will choose to go during spring so that we don't have to pack so much clothes for the trip. we had to bring 2 luggage cases coz' everything couldn't fit into one.
anyway, it was getting pretty cold in the last 2 days we were there, with the temperature falling below 10 deg cel! but it was nice to visit tokyo during autumn when the leaves are turning yellow and red etc.
