We'd bought a 2-day ticket for Universal Studios, so that we could take our own sweet time to explore the park and queue for the rides. On hindsight, 1 day would probably be enough, since the kids couldn't take most of the rides.
Anyway, on our second day there, we were more focused.
Waiting for the train to Universal City
We headed straight for the Sesame Street 4D movie before going back to Universal Wonderland, where the Sesame Street characters were out in full force.
All the rides in Universal Wonderland were for young kids, except for Elmo's Go-Go Skateboard which provided us adults with quite a bit of fun and thrill! The children loved it too, and we went on that ride 3 times!
We stayed there for another hour, and as the sky became darker and darker, we decided that was enough theme park for the day.
Comparing Universal Studio with Disneyland, Disneyland definitely win hands down. Disneyland has such a magical feel about it that Universal Studio lacks. Would so love to go back to Tokyo Disneyland again!
After lunch at a restaurant just outside Universal Studio, we went back to the apartment for a rest before heading out for shopping!
We went to Shinsaibashi, which is just 2 subway stops away.
The first shop we stop at - Daddy's candy shop, where he almost bought a snare drum.
Then while the parents shopped at Uniqlo, which has so much more variety than Singapore's outlets, and cheaper too, the kids fooled around at the accessories section.
We unknowingly walked to Dotonburi, which really was very near to Shinsaibashi. And of course, we had to take a shot with the landmark, the Glico man!
Dinner was at a not-so-impressive Japanese restaurant. Not what we were expecting of Japanese food yet. We promised ourselves that we must find better food the next few days!
