Aaron & Xixi's Japan Trip 2014

Xixi and I booked a last-minute trip to Tokyo for our 2 year anniversary and my birthday, which turned out to be amazing. We got the chance to fly First Class & Suites, met up with fantastic friends who brought us to all sorts of wonderful places, and of course got in a ton of shopping and - most importantly - eating!

10. My Birthday @ Tokyo DisneySea

One of the themes of the park was having different flavored popcorn stands to go with the various areas of the park. We tried out milk tea, curry, caramel, salted, and soda popcorn.

10. My Birthday @ Tokyo DisneySea

Journey to the Center of the Earth was hyped as the best ride at Tokyo DisneySea, and it definitely lived up to the name. A great progression of pacing from a leisurely ride through the fantasy world to culminating to an adrenaline filled finale. It was good enough to warrant being the only ride we went on twice.

The park closed with a spectacular choreographed light, water, and firework show in their bay.

The quality (and price!) of the meat in Tokyo is ridiculous. At the Yokosuka Port Market.

Great wagyu shabu-shabu buffet late at night on my birthday, after a fun but exhausting day at Tokyo DisneySea

Japanese strawberries are by far the sweetest, most delicious strawberries that we've ever had. As soon as we took our first bite, we went back to the supermarket to buy more.

Our favorite snacks from Japan - Shiroi Koibito. We searched high and low to finally buy these in Tokyo, until we arrived at the airport and realized we could get it easily there... will remember next time!

We decided to sit face-to-face in my seat to make the dining experience a bit more intimate. Truly a great way to enjoy an already fantastic meal 30,000 feet in the air.

Steak and lobster as the main course. Neither was very impressive, but
the setting and company more than made up for it

Xixi had the fruits and I had the ice cream, cheese, and chocolates. Sounds fair to me!

The moment we had been waiting for - our double bed in the sky. Sadly we only have a few hours to try it out, but there is always next time (USA!)
