I look way too tall for that dress... but I love it even so XD I'm so weird

But, I do have some goodies for you... these were filmed during the second week in Ikebukuro, and while I was relaxing in my room I caught some funny stuff on tv

This was the challenge: Get the heart to touch girl by pumping air into the tube, the fastest "pumper" (hurr hurr hurr) wins

(excuse the giggling in these videos.. I couldn't keep quiet >_>''')





The loser's punishment:



Oh, I found this commercial very funny as well :3

One of the last updates from here >_>

So... this will be a slightly mixed up post... since it's photos from way too many days... oh, and this was taken when we went clubbing at Club Wire:

(totally stolen from Sascha muahahahaha) big version here

So, let me see... we met up with Sascha's friend Ichi around two weeks ago, and he took us to see the emperor's palace... you couldn't get into the palace grounds, but, you could walk around the outer wall, which we did.













You can juuuust see some of the palace there XD


Such a beautiful place!!

Next, Ichi took us to Roppongi Hills, because he wanted to show us the Tokyo skyline at night... but since darkness had not fallen yet, we hung out and visited Mori Art Museum and ate dinner


I regcognize this "little" fella from when it visited Copenhagen a few years ago


And we were to go all the way to the top of that building!!


The Roppongi hat, which covers the subway station


Fancy pancy shops


I liked this water wall, and the kid was so cute, so I had to play sneaky photographer


My dinner... YUM!! But waaaaaay too much food T_T


Sascha looks a bit doubtful X3


Entrance to Mori Art Museum

And then we went to... uhm, the 58th floor, or something, and was at the heliport




Tokyo Tower 8D




Crazy view!




More Tokyo Tower, because one photo is never enough!






Flash is made of fail!! XD



Went to Harajuku the following day( or was it later.. I can't remember) took pictures of random harajuku kids



I actually took way more photos than these two, but photobucket fucked up, so I have to upload those another day... bleeh sorry bout that >>


The Dior building!!! So damn pretty in the evening!!

Just before we moved to Asakusa we went to the Sunshine 60 building, and went to the aquarium on top of the building, and I took lots of pictures... but as said, photobucket fucked up, so you'll have to wait on that as well >>

Seeing Tokyo Tower from afar kinda sparked the idea of actually going there, so Ichi invited us, and we all went there last week.
Louise, Ichi and I went up in the tower, Sascha, Stella and Andrea stayed on solid ground





BADAAAAAAMN!!

We only went to the platform halfway, not all the way up.
But even there, the view was awesome!!




You can' really tell, but I could see the construction workers on top of that building!! Imagining being the guy controlling the crane. I don't think he has any fear of heights DX


Roppongi Hills. I can't believe I went all the way to the heliport on that building DX sooo tall!!

In the floor of the observatory was these plexiglass windows... pretty fucking creepy



The kids were jumping on the window DX


And last, but not least, I made another video.... just me ranting really XD


Love to you all

Update, sorry guys, no photos this time

I was all ready to upload pictures today, but there's no power on my camera battery, so I have to charge it first >_>

I maxed out my visa, so I'm being really careful what I spend my money on now. Mom offered to lend me some money, but I'd rather borrow from my parents when I come home and need to pay rent >_>
It feels wrong to know that my card is maxed out, and that I'm still here, I feel bad, I should be working, earning some money, instead of just spending. My sensible side tells me to worry now DX
I love being here, but I'm really looking forward to come home.
I miss my family so much, last time I talked to my mom, I had to steady myself, I was really close to crying >_<
I miss my friends too, it's so weird being without them for so long. I'm so used to seeing everyone pretty often, that I feel a bit lost right now. I can read a few people's LJ, but not everyone uses LJ, so now I suddenly no longer know what's going on in everyone's lifes, and it bothers me a little (which came as a little bit of a surprise to me).

Friday night, we went clubbing in Shinjuku. Nori, the DJ I met in Heathrow had a gig at Club Wire, and we went there. First we were lost for more than an hour, but with some help from a nice japanese couple, we found the place.
Nori played awesome music. I danced, danced and danced. I took off my stilettos and danced in my stockings, whirling around, having a blast! Louise met a guy there and got a date, some businessman guy tried a really bad pickup trick on me (did so not work XD ) and we finally went home around 5, arriving at the hotel around 6.

We moved from Ikebukuro to Asakusa the following day (having slept 3 hours, which wasn 't too bad. I felt pretty rested when I got up)
The day was like hell! It was so hot, and my luggage weighed a ton! My hands kept giving up when we had to carry the luggage up, and down stairs. When we arrived at Asakusa, I felt ill, and Sascha stayed with me on a corner, where we sat down a took a break for half an hour. We had to pass Sensoji temple, which is, 6 minutes from the station, and then walk for 4 more minutes and then we'd be at the hostel. But it took us half an hour, because my hands kept letting go of the handle on my suitcase. And then the tendons completely pulled up, making two of my fingers fold in, and they just wouldn't fold out again, it was like the message from my brain didn't go to my fingers! I had to fold them out with my other hand. It didn't hurt at all, but it was scary.
I went to bed around 18.00 and then slept for a solid 16 hours!!

We met with Kei (one of Sascha's friends) in Harajuku the following day. Louise had a date, so she left around six, Andrea, Stella and Sascha wanted to walk around Harajuku, and I hung out with Kei at Starbucks, talking boys, music, and friends. We teamed up with Stella, Sascha and Andrea around 7, and went eating at Shakey's Pizza (where I oogled at the japanese version of Jared Leto (soooooo hot!!)) we then picked up Louise at La Foret who'd finnished her date (she seemed happy)
Parting with Kei, I made a deal with her to go to the cinema sometime this week (probably tomorrow)

Oh, yeah, the hostel... it's great!! I'm talking with a bunch of people, and they're all very cool. I mostly spend my evenings in the lobby, where everyone hang out and watch movies, or play tekken, and today I went eating with 5 others.
The girls went to Disney Sea, but I stayed home, as I didn't really feel like it ( we found out it wasn't a water themepark, but just a more adult version of Disney Land with wilder rides. Normally I'd totally be up for it, but I didn't feel like standing in lines all day for the rides)
I can hear Seth (calinfornian dude) talking about gay bars from our room. He just came here today, and he' soo funny!! I hang out alot with this girl from Mexico City, Micaela, as well as Cassidy, Joey (who's so Louise's type (we're talking Louise who's still in Denmark, not the little shy Louise with whom I'm here in Japan with)) Mirko, also known as Milkhole, and Chris.
I love hanging out with these people, simply because it's nice to be with someone else. I've been with Sascha, Louise, Stella and Andrea for a while now, and they are great fun to be with, but just hanging out with other people and talking about different things, is so nice.
Joey wants to go to this bar called The Lock Up, which has this prison theme, and you sit in cells with and such.... I dunno when we'll go though.... maybe in the weekend :3

Anywho, I promise to steal Sascha's laptop again next time the girls go out, so I can upload photos from all the amazing things I've seen!!

Tokyo Disney Resort

We went to Tokyo Disney Resort 3 days ago. It... was... awesome!!! (but Space Mountain was closed for the day..boooo!)

We stayed all day, and saw both the day parade, and the evening parade.... so here's alot of photos!!!




The amazing, iconic castle... the first thing you see when you come in

We tried the Pirates of the Carribean ride first... I tried to take photos for all you pirate lovers.. but alas, it was not easy


A skelleton and his loot!


Barbossa, cursing Jack Sparrow

Jack popped up three places, and I only managed to get one sucky image of him:

Blurry Jack ;_;


The Mark Twain river boat.... SO awesome.... and filled with people XD

While the girls tried out a ride for the scond time, I watched the day parade:


The good fairy




Beauty and the Beast will probably forever be my favorite Disney movie






Cinderella and her prince... (øv, han ligner totalt en flødebolle -_- )


Boo, no pictures of Sleeping Beauty... just her prince (fødebolle Nr, 2)




Pooh and Eeyore... chilling


Simba and his awesome zebra dancers


Captain Hook


Peter Pan




The Monsters Inc float. Mike's eye was really scary, it blinked and looked at everyone (made with a domed tv screen of some sort)


Our hero, Buzz Lightyear


Mikey and all of the other clasics saying hi






I loved the moon and the sun... they spined around on the float


More castle


Louise and I in the castle court yard


This was inside the castle... really amazing!!




Isn't it lovely?!


Within the castle was the shop The Glass Slipper, where you could buy al sorts of glass pretties. I took a few pictures, like the one of the glass crystal castle there.


Another glass castle, with lights that changed color


Another angle


Cinderella's carridge


Yet another castle... I liked this one the best, it was covered in Swarovski crystal


On the opposite side of the castle


We tried this raft thingy... and it had an amazingly long drop!!


Too bad the picture isn't better >_> Sascha and Louise sat in front, and they were completely soaked XD Sascha's head took most of the water, so I didn't really get very wet :3


On top of the Queen of Hearts restaurant


Pooh's Honny Hunt. You walked into the book


<3<3<3<3<3<3<3


The Haunted Mansion (upon which the semi crappy movie of the same title, starring Eddie Murphy, is based)


This place was amazing.. the ghosts in there looked so real!

We ate at this really weird restaurant, that was supposed to be futureristic, but instead it was just, empty.... but I took this amazing photo in the bathroom!

Yea, please your child indeed XD

And then it was dark, and we sat down on the pavement to watch the evening parade


The good fairy








My favorite of all the floats!!!




Giant pirate ship, where Peter Pan fought Hook


More Eeyore and Pooh... and Tigger 8D


Another extremely awesome float!!!


Jelly fiiiiiiish! <3<3<3<3<3






Cinderella's dress was amazing, it kinda, exploded with light!




Dancers at the ball :3




Mary Poppins!!




Leelo and Stitch float


The castle at night


You can kinda tell that I like the castle XD


Taken at the Disney station, waiting to take the mono ral back to Maihama St.


Disney train..... isn't it awesome!?!


Inside the train :3 We were all pretty tired!


My hair held all day.. wooo (that curly thing you can see is the cord to the mobile charger XD )


A japanese girl let me know she thought it looked very cute!!!

We've had two relax-do-nothing-days now, and the girls went to the beach, but I stayed at home, so I could update and get some sleep.
Tomorrow we're meeting up with one of Sascha's friends, and he'll show us some sights.
Stil haven't heard from Yohei, so I'll write him and ask if he's too busy to see me. I don't want him to see me just because he feels he owes it to me -_-

I've become addicted to this j-drama that runs every day at 10 in the morning, it started four days ago, so I've seen all episodes so far. I just, don't know the title of it XD so, if anyone of you -drama people recognize this, please tell me the title:

From the 2nd episode I think


Same episode... One of the students... he has issues XD (and I'm not talking about his hair)

A girl tried to commit suicide in todays episode, but she was found by her teacher, and he rushed her to the hospital, and then he yelled at the whole class who'd teased the poor girl, he made them all cry. He's so awesome!!

Also really want to see this one:

The trailer looks amazing, so I hope to catch it tonight... unless of course it's only in the cinema... I can't read that XD

A well.... I've been at the comp for almost 4 hours, fixing photos and uploading them... so I'll go for now.
See you around!!!

Love to you all
