Day 25

Morning Weight: 138.9 lbs

Breakfast: The sink has decided not to drain again so I couldn't wash my pans from last night which means no pan for eggs. So I brought imitation lobster (tastes just like imitation crab) and just ate it straight up. Nothing great but it'll get me through the morning at least.

Lunch: More pork tenderloin. I'll be eating this for a while since I have to cook another 2 logs soon. =[

Dinner: We have the leftover meatballs from yesterday. I ran out of pasta sauce though so I tried to make a gravy out of beef stock, spices and yogurt. (heated up the beef stock and let it cool a little before mixing some yogurt in. That way it won't curdle.) It tasted ok but it was too thin. I tried to thicken it with some corn starch but it didn't work. I ended up throwing some fat-free turkey gravy in which made it a little thicker but not much. /sigh.


Snacks: For my snacks, I ate more mini cheesecake and jello. I think I've spoiled myself with these... =[

Kirby Cafe Tokyo Reservations

Reservations open at 6pm JST on the 10th of each month! Tokyo, Japan To get an idea before reservations open, click on HAKATA and choose 1 person. You'll probably see some openings (circles) to get yourself acquainted with the form. Tokyo Kirby Cafe Reservations Reservations for the next month open at 6pm JST on the 10th (May reservations opened at April 10, 6pm JST.) I signed on right before it turned 6pm JST to check the website. Thankfully it wasn't crashing like other websites (cough Ghibli Museum!) but there are some things I wish I knew beforehand.  There is a dropdown menu on the top right that allows you to change from Japanese to English. This is helpful if you are just looking at the website but it defaults back to Japanese every time you refresh.  EVERY SECOND COUNTS. JUST SKIP THE ENGLISH . Remember how I said you can change it to English? I feel like I wasted a good amount of time doing that... Really it was just a couple of seconds but by the time I got int...

Tokyo Pokemon Cafe Reservations Tips

Image
Reservations open at 6pm JST, about 31 days before. https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/cafe/en/reservation.php Current Time in Tokyo I got some amazing tips for getting a Pokemon Cafe reservation so I'm sharing it here. Pokemon Cafe reservations open at 6pm JST, 31 days before! This is great because you are not competing with everyone else who might not even want to go on the same day as you. BUT you are competing with people who want to go on the same day as you, so you need to be QUICK! TIP #1. Scope it out first! Go to the reservation page and take a look around to familiarize yourself with the page. You don't want to be looking at this for the first time when you're trying to book. TIP #2. Turn off the Google auto-translate to English.  The Japanese version is pretty straightforward and the translation messes up the calendar. The first month is fine but since you're booking out 31 days out, you want the second month. I'm trying to book May 21st here. You c...

JR Pass

 The JR Pass is an option for non-residents of Japan to purchase. Instructions: Purchase the JR Pass before you travel to Japan (It doesn't seem like there's an "official" website as many vendors do sell it. Just do your research to make sure it's legit. Personally, I have used japan-rail-pass.com before. I think the top choices in your Google search is probably safe.) Receive the Exchange Order Fly to Japan  Exchange the Exchange Order at a participating JR Pass ticket office Enjoy the JR lines! How to Use: Previously, the JR Pass was a booklet that you had to show each station's ticket attendant but I've heard that they've upgraded it to a ticket now! It looks just like a train fare ticket would and you insert it into the ticket gate like any other ticket. The only concern is that it looks just like a regular ticket so do not lose it ! PROs: The JR Pass is convenient because you don't need to think about it. You just scan your ticket and can get...
