It was just one of the ordinary days I was sitting on the gentle sofa drinking my cup of freshly brewed americano while preparing for the last exam. It seemed that nothing could disrupt me at this moment as I was too concentrated but suddenly rang out a call with a title: ‘Darling is calling’. I was sure that he is not going to tell me something special and without any foreshadowing, I took a phone. His statement staggered me: “You have to apply for a visa; I have bought tickets to Japan. We will fly out next week».
It was unexpected, and I could not really say nothing and just hung up the phone. After a while, I recognized the whole situation and was filled with the most overwhelming emotions which I first experienced in my life. Japan was my dream country from the childhood, I was fascinated with Japan’s culture and dreamed of visiting and exploring everything there on my own, but fulfilling this fantasy with the person I love is even much better. With great enthusiasm, we immediately prepared all required documents for visa and started thinking which thrilling sites we can travel over. The plan was to have a good break, expand our minds and hopefully spend some time being together while seeing something new. Finally, we received our visa, packed our suitcases and arrived at the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’.
I was full of passion and didn't want to lose any time at all. After reaching our beautiful hotel in the center of the city with a spacious room and a spectacular view from the balcony, we went to taste the local cuisine. Our chose fell on a small restaurant with a Japanese style authentic interior and scent of fresh salmon at every turn. As a beloved ramen and sushi lover, I was happy as a clam at high tide when I had the opportunity to try them in the original version and honestly saying these dishes met all my expectations. Afterwards, we had a pleasant walk investigating main streets of Tokyo like Shibuya, Akihabara and Shinjuku, which fascinated me with their rhythm and dynamic aura of people hurrying up all the time. The brilliant ending of the day was a visit to Tokyo Skytree - the world's tallest freestanding tower and enjoying incredible panoramic views from its observation decks.
I deem every little girl had a dream to become one of Disney’s princesses even for a day. I can’t also express my happiness when on the next day early morning my dear showed me our tickets for Tokyo Disneyland. The whole day we have spent at this magical world plunging into childhood and imagining this our fairy tale. We had been all day in the world of Disney films, enthralling attractions and parades with lots of adorable food and Disney characters. And it is not even the end of surprises that I had there, following our magical adventure I found out that we are going to another amusement park, the main theme of which is the world of Harry Potter. It was my favorite story of a real friendship, great support and love. I was so lucky to be a part of wizard universe and fantasize that I was the main hero of this novel and had different adventures with my companion.
After all, I think it's fair to say that it was an unforgettable trip, where we created our memories that never be forgotten and left a cuddly sign in our hearts. Our motto from this trip: ‘Take only memories, leave only footprints’. I am sure that it is only beginning and more fascinating adventures are waiting for us.
