Tokyo Oct 23 Day 1, 2, 3

I did the same routine with Malaysia airlines with the short transit period so I was hoping my luggage got delayed. When I reached the Narita belt, I saw the staff holding up 3 names but none was mine and I saw my luggage -_- 

Off I go to the new hotel that I booked near shinjuku at a pretty cheap rate, they said I could do a early check in so I went for brunch nearby at an oyakodon shop. I miss oyakodon so much.
The hotel provides free flow of tea and coffee bags, facial products and other stuff so everytime I went downstair I just took a few. So first order of business: Akihabara for my gundam paints. I headed to Yodobashi Akiha, took all my paints and stuff very excitedly and then went to the tax-free counter to pay. 
"Paints and Solvents are not allowed to be checked into the plane, carry on also not allowed" - That's what the staff told me, and then I googled and it turns out to be a true plot twist for my Japan trip. -_- A very sad day for my model kits. 
Anyway I went to get a nice donut to console myself, went to my familiar Matsumoto and life shop to buy more stuff, headed back to the hotel to put down my stuff. After that met O, toured Park Hyatt Tokyo hotel suite, then met his friends for dinner at Toriki - one of my fav restaurants in Tokyo now.
After that we bought drinks and back to drink at the suite. At night one of the staff came to tell us to turn down our volume coz we were too loud, then O went down to argue with the manager lol. Anyway it was too late so I stayed over.
Next day I went down to Tokyo station to look at some furniture, and ate Oyakodon which was quite good.
I also got my gin bottle at Ginza, shopped around and went to check out the new Andaz hotel and drank free flow sake at the lounge lol. Sushi zanmai for dinner.
Next day was my favourite chicken ramen for lunch - I got their seasonal oyster and clams ramen which was so sweet and savoury, went for more shopping, checked out the Andaz suite and drank for free at the lounge again lol. Dinner at the hotel restaurant wasn't too expensive, the view was so good. 
I have been buying snacks and desserts from the 7-11 and family mart near my hotel, they are just so addictive urgh.
