[JAPAN 2012] ただいま、東京！・Tokyo, I'm home!

Hi guys! (＾∇＾)
Long time no see!

I'm sorry I haven't written anything in a while, but I've been really busy the past week after I finally felt Japanese ground under my feet again!

I'm currently staying at a hotel in Ikebukuro with a friend, and we had the longest flight ever. We left home the night before our flight departed, 'cause we were afraid we wouldn't make it if we took the morning train. Ergo, we spent almost 10 hours in the airport, then 3 hours to Vienna, then 10,5 hours to Narita. And the flight to Narita was ... so... fricking.... long.
 I kept falling asleep and then waking up only to realize I'd been sleeping for like 30 minutes and we were still crossing Russia.

Russia, y u so big??

But but but but...

we finally landed.

Tokyo, I'm home!!

I actually ended up weeping like a little baby as soon as we landed, 'cause it's just been so long and I missed it so much here. I really feel like I'm back home.

The first day we were obviously super tired after not having slept properly for what must've been almost 48 hours, so when we got to Ikebukuro and checked in at our hotel (Kimi Ryokan, it's really recommendable!) around noon, we decided to just spend the day in Ikebukuro and check out the neightbourhood.

Of course that included introducing my friend to some Japanese food（￣ー￣）

So we went for Okonomiyaki in Sunshine City, a pretty big shopping mall in Ikebukuro, and the waitress there apparently really liked us, 'cause we got free ice cream for dessert.

It was so good, I tell you.

My friend also said about it what she's said about almost everything she's tasted ever since

"this is a hit."

and that's basically how it's been ever since.

I have looooads more to tell, but I'm going to split it up into seperate posts.
But I can tell you that we've been shopping a lot, and we've been spending the evenings cheering for the hosts in Ikebukuro (this will include a really funny story!), and we've been treated to bowling and sushi by a group of rather suspicious looking guys who turned out to be the sweetest people ever.

So... stay tuned (:

Three day trip to London

Hey everyone~
How are you doing?

from Wednesday June 13 'till Friday June 15 I went to London!!

It's such an amazing city, I love it there.

I went because I want to go to a university there (SOAS, if anyone knows it) and there was an Open Day on Wednesday. It was soo awesome, and even though they'd been doubting it up 'till now because it's so expensive (school is free in Denmark), my parents are backing me up about going there 110% now. 

I can't waiitttttttt, I wanna move to London already. And a bonus is that there seems to be so many nice gyaru-interested girls and guys in England, so maybe I'll even be able to make friends with similar interests(･ｪ･)

Anyhow,
my parents went home on the same day, but my exchange student and I stayed at a small motel in Turnham Green until Friday. She said it was "a Christmas Room" because of the green bedlinen...
(･ω･;;)











On Thursday during sightseeing,  we went to Leicester Square aka Chinatown, but had no real idea where it was, so while looking around, my exchange student suddenly goes

"Oh, M&M.

...

... world."

...

"WHAT?!"

and then we both ran screaming into the store that we had no idea existed outside of the US.

Yeah, it was one of those "you should have been there"-moments.

but we found Chinatown and had lunch at a Korean/Japanese place that actually offered me a job there.
whyyy am I not done with school yet! cruel world!

 (Sightseeing and a highly uncharming picture of me being very excited about Big Ben...)

 This was one of my outfits, in case you're interested. And my face, as usual!(*｡_｡)

  Did a teeny-weeny bit of shopping, and lately floral print and me have become best buddies.

The shoes actually have heels in them, so I get nice legs wearing them so I'm reckoning people will just think my legs are naturally nice!
(・∀・ )

High five to self.

Okay.. well...

I'll be going to Japan in just a little over two weeks, so I'm busy working and trying to sell some old clothes. I cleaned up my closet last night, taking out all the stuff I never wear... basically, nothing is left now.

I'm ready for some serious shopping!!

Okay, well, take care everyone!
