Our Tokyo days were numbered and my friend and me decided to spend our last day in Japan separately. He wanted to go back to Nakano Broadway, I wanted to see LaQua, an amusement park on top of a mall.

I had been waiting for this day for a long time. To be honest there was one reason I had wanted to visit Japan so bad since 2001. Tokyo DisneySea! The second theme park at the Tokyo Disney Resort. The theme park out of all theme parks. The one that is said to be perfect. Was it, really? I was excited to find out.

Sometimes you need to spoil yourself. I like the thought of working hard and earning something as a reward. That is why I decided to book business class flights after we had made the plan to visit Japan. For me a business class flight is more than nice food and feeling glamorous, though.
