so as you know me n my exchange student got to go to disneyland yaaay! it was SO much fun. i was really happy to go ^_^

well i thought i was gonna be the only host going with the pplz cuz my friend couldnt go, but someone else decided to go to so i hung out with her.

omg the bus we went on was amazing. way better than friggin school buses. this was all deluxe and had comfy seats and air conditioning and light switches and everything. ahhh on the way there i felt like i was on a japanese field trip XD it was so awesome! and me n my friend christina were just talking about anime on the way there lol.

disneyland was all decked out for the holidays so it was really cool being there. appearantly i went during christmas when i was little but i dont reember anything.

close up of the disney castle with snow and christmas decorations!

we went on space mountain first. the wait was only 10 minutes GOOD. i guess since it was a monday not as much people arre there so for most rides we didnt need to wait more than 20 minutes. omg but anyways on space mountain all i would hear is christina screaming so for the last half of the ride i just start laughing lol. but oh god, the picture turned out HORRIBLE so am not posting :P

we then went on autopia but zomggg the car in front of the car in front of us(if that makes sense) was SO FLIPPING SLOW. like, it was some old guy or something taking pictures by himself while driving and ugh i just wanted to step on the gas pedal so badly. and then for a short second the car in front broke down but then restarted. lol i thought it was going to be a re-enactment of last year XD

then matterhorn. i actually took a video of the whole ride but didnt feel like uploading it. i was holding on with 1 arm and the arm that was holding on hurt so badly after the ride ended cuz all the turning and everything stretched out my muscles or somethin.

and @ toontown. honestly toontown is really boring in my opinion but the azns wanted to go so we went. took a pic with yumi and oneof her friends wanted to take a pic with me too lol. gosh i look so bad. so the students went and looked around the shops then went to pirates and they added captain blackbeard from the 4th movie in the ride.

and also small world!!!!! ok yeah its a baby ride but i like it. plus it was all christmas-y inside and look so awesome! theres a video @ the end to see what i mean ;P

lol i dont remember ride orders but whatevers!

this was the last ride i went on. it was just me n christna cuz the exchange students didnt wanna go im just talking about it now cuz i took a pic of this in mid-day. its haunted mansion ta da! its all nightmare before christmas themed!(which is one of my fav movies btw) so obv i HAD to go, but the wait was 40 minutes! o__O on nlormal days it'd be 10 tops. so got a fast pass. the fastpass line was long too so i decided to go buy me a rootbeer float while my friend waited in line. but by the time i got back she was gone but then i saw her right at the enterance. she said she already missed twoturns and we couldve been on the ride by now oops. but hey it was SO COOL LIKE OMG. i think they should keep the haunted mansion like this permanently.

we also went on thunder mountain and no hands the whole time XD i love that roller coaster. andthank goodness splash mountain was actually open today. christina doesnt like water rides and this one girl who got really freaked out on space mountain didnt wanna go on so it was me and the other students oh yea. brings back so many memories*tears*

lol the pic. i ALWAYS look deformed in the pictures wtf.  but lol to the girl doing peace sign.

oh and i sat in the back so didnt get wet ;P actually all of them hardly got wet which is really suprising for that ride

afterwards we all went to go eat and i ordered some fish n chips which was really yummy. i wanted to eat soup in a bread bowl though T_T

we got fastpasses for indiana jones(which i hate) and still had a little bit of time before we could go on so we went in tarzans tree house. i think that was my first time on there, cuz i dont remember otherwise. and once we got on time for that horrid ride.

throughout all my years @ disneyland i have never been able to keep my eyes open in that ride. this time i got a little farther than usual but then closed them lol. my friends like 'open ur eyes! open ur eyes!' and im just shaking my head saying no no no! so lets see, i saw a little bit of the begging then the part when the boulder is coming toward you, then i closed my eye again then the ride was over XD

after that, me n christina split away from the exchange students cuz all they wanted to do was shop. so we just walked around and took a pic in front of the lake thing waiting for it to get dark so the lights will come on.

once its dark, its picture time.

disney castle. the stupid guard ppl were closing it off right when we got there but i took a pic XD

and i knew small world would be decked out so i like ran over there. it was SO pretty. i wish i can stare at the real thing forever. too bad houses arent all lit up like this 

its pretty gay how we had to leave at six cuz we had to go home at 8.
so at 5_10ish me n christina were just walking around shopping/trying to find the others

there was this minnie coin purse i saw at the beginning of the day and i was pretty tempted to buy it. then i saw it again at these stores so was like 'wat the hey' and bought it. but i wished the string couldve been longer. i'll adjust it one of these days.

so we ended up finding them and had to leave disneyland D: so much fun T_T so back on the luxury bus and we were playing truth or dare with the exchange students but they didnt like the game. and got back home at 8 and went to bed. it REALLY sucked how i had to go to school the next day. i did not wanna get up early at all!

but that day was the last day with yumi T_T

at night there was a sayonara party and there was tons of activities and stuff.

like, i had some of the students draw me some anime characters and stuff XD

then there were booths were some would write ur name in chinese characters or something

my mom who can read this stuff too says they spelled my name all wrong and stuff but in japan they dont have that "C" sound so they would call me 'sandy' or 'shindy' or something like that. 

annd i got to learn how to make an origami shuriken. the paper wasall tiny andthe person kept going all fast on the steps but i managed to make this oh yea

and next to the origami booth was some weird card game where ppl would slap card on the table or something. and some kids were really getting into it and cards would go flying everywhere o__o

anyways heres me n yumi again(omg i look terrible. bad lighting)

and then a little after that we left and drove her around to look at christmas lights cuz appearantly in japan ppl dont decorate their houses for christmas. she also told me they have to go to school on christmas wtfff.  but yeah so she liked the houses alot

and she gave me my middle name written in her kanji or watever it is. and then i gave her a goodbye note that i wrote in japanese even though its like all incorrect but she gets what i mean lol.

and i was tired and went to sleep(still exhausted from disneyland) and in the morning before i left school i said goodbye to her cuz she'll be gone by the time i come home D: its sad and lonely here w/o her. i REALLY wanted to do gyaru makeup on her but she dont wear makeup. i need an azn friend i can do makeup to lol

anyways yeah, uber long post bye!

and inside small world
