Happy Valentine's Day <3

Hi guys! Long time no see! This will just be a short post to just re-start the blog again.

Today it's Valentine's Day and I hope everyone will have a wonderful day with all the people you love and hold dear! Never forget the people that warms your heart and makes you smile!! 

It's now already February 2016! Time surely flies by! So, a short recap of what has happened since the last post! 

I took the JLPT N2 test and sadly I didn't pass. But I was kind of expecting that and I will study harder and try again this year in December, but this time in Japan! Yes, that's right! This year in the end of June I will finally return to Japan!!! The plan is to study 9 months at a language school and after that find a job or apply for a vocational school「専門学校-senmongakko」! And study there for 2 years and find a job after that. So in other words I will go to Japan and try to stay as long as possible. I have no decided year to go back (permanently) to Sweden! It took some time to come to this decision but after making it I could feel that is was the right thing for me and my life became so much lighter! So soon the real count down will begin! Right now I'm doing the hard and tiering paperwork together with the company Gogonihon. I will do a separate post about this process and company later. 

Other when that, my brother has moved out of the house so now is just me, mom and dad left! It's feels weird but I'm starting to get used to it by now! So happy for him and hope he will be a full time employee after this month! Fighting! 

That's all for now! 

Hugs!

Airport blogging!

Hi again! 

Here with yet another post from the airport! 

Arrived saftly in Istanbul and in one houre I will borad the next plane to gothenburg! Have been waiting for about 4 hours but it really feels like no time at all! 

I spent the most of the time resting at Starbucks, even if I could sleep for about 5 hours (which is veary unsuall for me) I still feel quite tired... think it's because of the horrible turbulence we had on the plane!! It was the longest and strongest turbulence I have experienced. The worst part happen when we were eating. It was shaking so much that glases, bottles etc fell down on the floor. I was seriously scared at that time and felt like crying! Even if I generally feel that my fear of flying is getting a bit better this diddefinitely  NOT help the progress... So think that is the reason why I feel so tired. 

Also got to have a nice short chat with some Italian guys just now at starbucks, they didn't reallt know who to change the sim-card on their phones so I helpt with that, really nice people! 

Must say that it feels nice to soon be back in Sweden and I'm looking forward to start up a everyday rutine again! Feels like I'm taking the next step and moving forward again and that is always a nice feeling. 

I do miss Japan already though... even if the trip this time was more challening in many ways I really do feel like I'm leavning my home at the same time as I'm going home which is a hard and confusing feeling. HERE am I supposed to be??? it the feeling I'm having these days. 

Oh, another thought I've had for a couple of weeks now if that I might start a second blog that is more "professional" about Japan and asian culture. writning about Japan is something I really love doing so I sounds like a fun thing to do, and to get my youtube acount going again! So if I can decied soon you guys might get a new blog to follow to if you're intrerested! 

That's it for now!

Hugs!

Shopping in Tokyo

Hi guys! 

The life as a tourist goes on and I get more energy for each day as my cold is getting better and I'm feeling more positive! 

Shopping is a thing I do a lot here and the other day I had a blast in korea town! Me, Jepser and Martin when for lunch togerher at a korean barbeque resturangt will all-you-can-eat offers. It was AMAZING! But that day it was over 30 degress so we were dying slowly because of the heat... but otherwise it was good! 

Later I went around shopping and bought a lot off stuff. Half of it were idol stuff from my favorite band cnblue or one of my favirit actors! I can't really buy these thing is Sweden so.. let's buy a lot now was my thinking... my wallet it sad! 

I also bought some beauty products! Some a bit expensive so hope it will work! The hard thing about buying it here is that the staff will ALWAYS stop you and talk to you, recommende products and TESTING them on your hand without even asking sometimes... so it's not easy.. well so Swedish off me not to like to talk to the staff and just "look around by myself". But thanks to them I think I got some nice products that will have the effect I'm looking for! 

When going home some REALLY handsome korean guys where giving out advertising about their liveconcerts and when I passed them they have me some and an explanation in Korean then Japanese and last in english, so cute! (Yes I like asian guys a lot) 

Today it was Shopping in Shibuya agan and I did find some clotning at forever 21! Love that store <3 

I also found a present for my brother, only one for dad left know! It's my dads brithday today so will also talk to him on the phone later! 

Now I'm resting in nakano and will soon do some looking around and shopping before meeting up with Martin and Jesper for dinner in Tachikawa! And I think we will take som perikura and go for karaoke after that! FINALLY my voice is okay so I can go for karaoke, have missed it so much!!! 

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
