In two days, Donkey Kong will open!

Of course, one of the destinations many people mark when coming to Osaka is Universal Studios Japan.

And of course, many things keep happening again and again. A few weeks after we booked the tickets, there was an announcement that the new Donkey Kong Country zone will open on December 11th. And yes, I booked USJ for the 9th and return to Thailand on the 10th.

Besides that, if you have ever queued to ride the Hippogriff and didn’t get to ride, it must have happened to you too. Exactly 120 minutes, no more, no less. What was missing was my hands because it was so cold I almost lost it. Why don’t you have chairs for fitting before queuing??!!!! Or at least put a sign in front saying if you consider yourself bigger than the standard, you can skip this ride. Please inform me! Inform meeeee! Inform me beforehand, please. It’s a waste of time queuing for other rides. I lost a lot. After arguing with the staff, I got 5 fast passes as a consolation gift, equal to the number of people in my group. But hey, I’ve already used all the rides on the pass except one. Anyway, thanks, but next time please bring chairs for fitting first.

As for the passes I got, I screamed on Hollywood Dream to make up for the two hours I endured the cold, hunger, and all the suffering. I screamed it out.

Finally, the light show in Hogwarts with hot Butterbeer (very sweet) in the 10th anniversary cup of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter zone could soothe my soul a bit. Ended the day by going home and having Gong Cha with extra sugar, one more match.
