Back in Tokyo!

Hi! 
 
Sorry for not updating but because I caught a cold right before my trip I have had a bit of a hard time now in the beginning. Even if I want to do a lot of things my energy just disappears, so sad! 



                                   
 
Today I have visited 109 in Shibuya and did some shopping! Haven't found any clothing yet though which is werid! Usually I always finds something. But I have bought some books and music and also a new pair of shoes! (suprise!!). Hope to find something for my brother and my dad soon to! 

Yesterday I meet up with Robin and we went to the movies and saw "Attack on titans". It was really cool!!! And the first time I actually saw a Japanese movie at the cinema in Japan! It was so much fun! After that we went to a izakaya for some good food and drinks! 



Doesn't this food looks tasty?? But guess what, these things are actually chicken heart and liver.. andto my suprise it WAS tasty. So I would recommend people to have the courage to try new things when they can. I might suprise them! 

                                           

I also got to meet up with Pedro and buy some senbei and a new manga that is actually written by a Swedish person! I thought that was really cool and that I should support her by buying one copy! 

                                    
            
       

                                   

In the moring me, Jesper and Martin also visited my old dorm for a "breakfast pancake party". The girls we met actually lived on the exact same floor as I did!! Talk about feeling nostalgic sitting in my old kitchen!! Miss the exchange year and all my friends so much!! <3 

        

         


Last Friday I also went to a drinking party with my badminton circel. SOOOOO much fun! Love them so much!!  Had a great time! Hopefully I can join them one more time on Saturday when they will have a birthday party for one of my Senpais. after drinking we went for night food and in japan that is ramen! What to not to love about that! <3 

                                             

A also got to buy a new camera! So happy with it but haven't really learned how to use it that well yet..but I learn by doing! 

I will end this post by telling you about two things I have realized in Japan. 

1. I like living in Japan better then being a tourist.  
Well, at least when visiting a place like Tokyo that have been my home. Coming back as a tourist I though would be super fun all the time. But the truth is that I actually feel a bit lonley here for the first time. This feeling was a real suprise to me. Maybe being sick made it more hard but just being here and not having a real "connection" but just as a toursit is not as fun. Well, I thought people would have vacation but turns out most of them don't, so I have to do most of the sight seeing by myself. Of course the fact that all of my best friends isn't even here in Japan also effects it all a lot. I think this is a really good experience for me, that even in Japan I can feel "negative" things. But I also think I'm staring to get better with being my own company which is good! So, I will learn and get better from this!

2. I want to return to japan for a "long term". 
This may seem werid just reading nr.1 but if it's long trearm then I will be a student or working which will give me a belonging and connection like before, and that is when I'm the most happy in Japan. Making new friends and experience new things! So this trip has already made things clearer for me, love it! 

That's it for this time! Now it's time to look for a present to my brother and later decied a place to eat dinner before returning home! 

Hugs! 

PS: My stomach is happy all the time here, the food is to die for <3

travel update 1 / gothenburg ariport!

Hi again! 

Waiting at the airport while drinking a beer! Hope that it will help me will my fear of flying! It has been better the last year but I still don't like it! 

                            
  
up until now the travel has gone smoothly. But It has also just begun! Check it was trouble free but I didn't get to choose the seats so I think I have a window seat on both planes. It's nice but I rather have a seat by the ail because then you can get up without disturbing anyone.. well well, it's okay anyway! 

                                 


one thing did happen though, for the first time I had a cabin baggeg check. So they opened my baggage to look inside at tested it for explosives. Apparently there is a new rule within in EU that from this year the can do random tests. Well, wasn't any problems with mine of course. But you always getnervous  anyway!  At least I do... 

Will be borading my plane in 15 minutes so have to keep it short! 

hope to update again While in Istanbul! 

Be safe!

Travel day!!

Hi guys!

Today is the day!! Almost bursting with excitement but at the same time very relaxed. Which is rare because of my medium flight fear. I have had some more bad luck since last and that is my current cold. So typical to get a cold one day before my flight, but I have some medicine with me so I think it will go smoothly anyway! 

                                     
                                     


Right now I'm enjoying a long breakfast after a nice and relaxing shower. I will leave for the airport around 15 o'clock and my first plane to Istanbul will leave at 17:40.

The packing is almost done. Just some makeup and small stuff left, then checking the most important things like passport, plane ticket and money. Have big luggage with me but almost notning inside, shopping shopping will solve that! 

                           

Yesterday I bought a new phone so I actually have one to bring. This fellow better stay with me for a long long time!!!!  

I hope to be able to update you guys later tonight if I have wi-fi during my 3 hours wait in istanbul!

Horrible start to an amazing vacation!

Hi guys!

Today I'm pissed of, sad and tired. 

My vacation could have had a much better start then this. Yesterday I went out to party with some friends and all evening I had a great time until the last 15 minutes before going home. I got my phone stolen for a  FUCKING SECOND TIME!! sorry for the swearing but this is one of those times when it is necessary. Who has such bad luck that they get their new expensive phone stolen TWICE?! and within one year. It's crazy!! Hate people how can't tell "yours from mine". FUCKING STUPID PEOPLE!!! and this time they got my credit card and drivers license to. So that sucks like fuck to. Yesterday ended in tears and frustration. 


Today I have spent the whole day canceling my credit cards, order a new drives license, order a new sim card, calling my insurance company and of course made a police report. So tiering. Because of this I now don't have a credit card to bring to Tokyo so let's just say that cash is king undring the coming trip. Luckily Japan is a cash country! 

Tomorrow we are planing on buying a new phone and hopefully my insurense will cover 80% of the costs. I will take this opportunity to buy one with more GB and take out an extra insurance on it. I will keep this fucking phone no mater what!!!!!!! 


       

To make my mood a little bit better I have spent the rest of the day and evening eating good food, watching dramas and spoiling my skin with some face masks and treatments. I may not have a phone but to do have nice looking skin! Stay positive.... stay positive... 

Hopefully it all feels better tomorrow so when I get on my plane this Tuesday I will be as happy and excited as ever! This will NOT effect the rest of my vacation!!

   

Only 3 day to go until I get to go home!!!!!!! <3  (to a country that treats you with respect!! So If you don't start to treat me better Sweden, I might not come back! )


Hugs!

Before good night!

Good evening guys! 
皆、こんばんは!
これから、英語でね〜


Will make a mini post before going to bed! Had a fun day today! After work I meet up with a friend from my Japanese classes and we went to see a cosplay performance and competion that was a part of "Gothenburg cultural festival" that is a big festival celebrating different cultures. Was so much fun and the weather was amazing! Ate some polish food, tasty! 

My amazing friend Lina also preformed with her dance group, they were so cool and good! 

Felt like I had a bit of holiday even if just for a couple of hours! Came home around 20:30, exercised for 20 minutes and watched some videos of CNBLUE and now I'm drinking tea before bed! Really need to sleep.. Already 22:20! Not easy to get up at 5:00... Well!

Hugs! <3 
皆、おやすみ!

We enter August!

Good morning!

Posting from work, have realized that I'm often to tired to do it when I get home. 

As said before this summer will defiantly represent the time I discovered (and got obsessed with) kdramas. My normal everyday consists of work during day and kdramas  in the evening. Definitely a good way to relax for me! Right now I'm watching two, "I hear your voice" and " the scholar who walks the night" really good ones!! 

Last week I had a really fun night out with J and on Sunday we had a cozy shopping day! Have to do something fun during the weekends! Bought some new clothes from ginatrico and skin products for the body shop! 

Yesterday me and my family also had a cozy picnic at the beach! My brother made the best pancakes and I managed to get myself to swim a bit in the lake even if it was pretty cold! 

That's all I have time to update you guys with! 
Hugs!
