Trouble before Christmas

Recently I find myself not having any luck at all with my flights back to Sweden.

This spring I had a delay so I had to wait at the airport for 6-7 extra hours. You think, Can get worse than this right? Well it can and it did this time.

My flight to Beijing was only about 15 min late but even so it together with a very strict and complicated system at the airport made me miss my connecting flight to Amsterdam that was suppose to depart at 00:30. My new flight was 11:50 in the morning... So 11 hour wait in the middle of the night, no WiFi to get in contact with my parents, almost no money and can’t speak the language of the personal + a missing checked in luggage... I was defiantly at my stress limit. Not to say that I with this new flight would arrive 22:20 in the evening of the 23rd in Gothenburg and the original plan was 9:30 in the morning.. sucked big time.  

Around 2:30-3:00 after spending hours trying to get my baggage back with no luck, I manage to get to a hotel. Feared for my life a little when I was chased into a car by the airport personal and they just drove of with me saying “ Hotel, near, sleep”.. yes terrifying. But I did end up at a nice hotel that I had to pay a big sum just to get a room to sleep in for 3-4 hours. Thatnk’s to the hotel wi-if I manage to send a e-mail to my mom. She called me back so I could inform her of all thing that had gone wrong. Apparently they can call me but the apps don’t work in the “out” direction even with WiFi. No FB or anything. That’s China for you. Felt very very secluded and “shut in” to me.    

Can’t wait to leave Beijing. Defiantly had enough of this!

I hope this is the only negative post I will make in a while and even if the start was hard the rest of my almost two  weeks in Sweden will be as amaznign as I hoped it to be! 

Many hugs!

Christmas times

Long time no see!

So, already the Christmas season again! Or to be more exact, Christmas is just around the corner! This year I’m spending Christmas and New Years at home in Sweden! It’s going to be great! Eating moms homemade food, spending time with family and friends it just the best! I Love christmas not only because it’s a beautiful holiday but aslo becasue it gives you to time off to spend with your loved ones. What can beat that!

I’m leaving for Sweden on Friday the 22nd and going back to Japan on the 3rd. Today I finally got the last presents so that’s done! I have to start packing tonight since I will be crazy busy this last week in Japan. Work, school, meeting friends and boyfriend. Just lots to do!

About work, I quit Forever21 in October and just one week ago I got a new part time job att HM. I’m still in the middel of training so much to remember but also fun and feels like a great place to work at! This Wednesday I will have the ”cashier training ” the only thing I didn’t get to do at forever21 so that is the part that’s making me the most nervous. Not only to learn how to use the registers and all the things I have to do (and in the right order) but I also have to use very polite Japanese that I usually don’t use... I’m bound to make mistakes but that’s okay. I will try my best to not get too stressed out...

Last week in school and its going good. Passed my first accounting test so now I have a level 3 certificate of accounting! Better than nothing. I also took the japanese N1 (hardest) test but it was pretty hard so don’t think I passed that one. But just to try again in June next year! I also just have about 3 more month before I become a second year student. Can’t believe how fast times goes by. I also have to start job hunting in February. That’s very soon.  Will start with the preparations as soon as I get back to Japan!

That’s all for the updates this time, now I need to study a bit before getting my Christmas nails done!
Hope your having a great December!

Hugs!
またね！
